Just when I thought I had heard it all this week, I stumbled upon this little jewel:

Crocs -- the rubber shoe currently dominating the feet of toddlers and medical professionals -- and 360 Productions are sponsoring a 15-stop college campus tour that One Republic and Fabolous will be headlining.

The Crocs Next Step Campus Tour begins April 10, 2008, at Florida International University in Miami, FL and will finish up at SUNY Albany May 5.

How sad it this?

Don't get me wrong. I adore Fab and One Republic, but there isn't anything even remotely cool about Crocs. And while this was clearly a strategic move on the latter's part to drawn in a slightly hippier demographic, they've only tarnished the image of the two acts -- making this whole union undoubtedly whack.
