It's officially the end of the world...the four horsemen are in sight...and do you know what they're wearing? Crocs' clothing.

Yes, the manufacturer of possibly the ugliest footwear ever created is moving onto clothing. Soon you'll be able to buy shirts, shorts, and skirts containing the same spongy foam resin that they use to create their shoes. Once blended with natural fibers, the clothes will be breathable, "sweat-resistant", and (as a spokesperson is quoted as saying the fabric will have "all the properties of the shoes") presumably very ugly.

Men's and children's clothing will be on sale this October in the US, womenswear will follow next year. To once again quote the unnamed spokesperson, "Men's and children's clothes are a bit less complicated. Waiting until 2008 allows us to take time over our women's fashion range."

Quite frankly, the mind boggles...
