Toms Shoes Does Block Type Thing For Podoconiosis

OK it’s hard to crap on an ad that hypes a good cause – in this case, TOMS Shoes’ effort to eradicate Podoconiosis in Ethiopia – but after seeing so, so many block type-style ads akin to Motrin, Starbucks and Ford, it’s not easy to reign in the rant.

But, in the interest of the holiday season and all the good feelings that come with it, the rant will be reigned in on this one. So just enjoy.
