So worth 210 Euros

The contradiction in this new Birkenstock edition simply astounds me.

When Birkenstock starts incorporating rhinestones and gems, you know the bohemian/hippie craze has good too far...don't you agree, beautiful, shiny, happy people?!

Those are hideous.

The sad thing is that I'm certain andreaharner.com still lusts for these disgusting shoes deep in her hippie heart. I'm sure these would be considered couture at Wes-loser-yan.

hey heather!

I'm truly sorry you didn't get into Wesleyan...and it certainly wasn't for not trying, huh! I mean, applying three times!! A for effort, as we like to say at Wesleyan.

On your fourth try, I would suggest taking "Professional Hater" off your resume and personal statement. Wesleyan prefers lovers.

Maybe the sparkly additions will encourage those who wear Birkenstocks to get the pedicures that they ordinarily shun but so desperately need.

Another thought, though, pops into la cabeza: What kind of socks go with these sandals? Certanily not the standard slightly filthy ragg.

yeah, andrea puts price tags next to the shoes in her closet--where the floor is decoratively covered with quartz gravel---NO. she didn't buy them, she just wants them bad.
that dog katie is the cutest lil nipper i ever saw.
hard for those wes-wanna-leyans, ain't it.

Hello all!

I am one of twelve creative designers at Birkenstock. While I can appreciate your good humor and the ciritical tone of your posts, I must defend this creation. Allow me to assert: Birkenstock is no less commited to the bohemian ideals than it ever was in days past.

I felt the shoe would be a commentary on the changing of the times and values in this country.

Thank you,
Sarah Lemure

BuzzFeed
Roland S. Martin is about to have even more time to tweet. That's because CNN announced this afternoon that Martin, a contributor to the network, has been suspended indefinitely following a pair of homophobic tweets he wrote during last Sunday's Super Bowl (which, as BuzzFeed pointed out, were representative of a larger anti-gay pattern of his).
Deadspin has more regarding the authenticity of these photos that began circulating on this 4Chan board Tuesday afternoon. The whole thing is still kind of unsettling.
I would imagine he wiped the floor with the kids from "Modern Family," but who knows. He definitely has the biggest gun... Plus, Gary Busey has some thoughts on butterflies, Matthew Lillard is a big deal (in his own head), and ladies, Ice T wants you to try his "Dick Test."
