A Bizarre Case of Prophetic Advertising

Does anyone remember this commercial for the Chevy Traverse, where a woman must own a car with spacious trunk space especially for the unlikely event of a shoe downpour?




Ummm....

Thousands of shoes tie up Miami freeway traffic - Yahoo! News

Quote:
MIAMI – State troopers are looking for a charity to take thousands of shoes that were dumped on a Miami expressway, tying up rush hour traffic. Lt. Pat Santangelo says the Florida Highway Patrol received a call about the shoes Friday morning.

Santangelo says he's not sure where the shoes came from. There were no signs of a crash and no one stopped to claim them. He says he hopes someone will take them because he doesn't want to send them to the dump.


Someone obviously made a powerful Christmas wish

Thousands? If they belonged to one woman she's got serious issues.

What was her name... Imelda something....?

It's obvious what happened. The shoe blimp blew up. Probably targeted by a rebel faction of shoe elves.

Yep, Imelda Marcos ... but I'll be darned if she had mens shoes in her collection.

I really hope they find out who dumped them, it should make an interesting story.

This deserves more than just hitting the laugh button.

There were a bunch of Mormons milling about on the highway and BAM! Rapture. They never thought that it would happen so fast they would be ripped right out of their shoes!

I can't get the visual out of my mind. Hilarious.
