Plastic Clogs--Fashionable or Deadly?

Well, well, well. I was right after all. No need to apologise, just throw them away, and lets move on. Here is a quote from an article in UK paper, The Telegraph--

Crocs, the fashionable plastic clogs, could be banned from all hospitals because it is feared they interfere with life-saving medical equipment. The soles on the shoes are thought to generate static electricity which is strong enough to knock out respirators and machines in operating theatres.

There you go. Not only hideous, but life-threatening as well. I'm definitely going to start a petition now.
