That video is the most honest ad for condoms I've ever seen (funny, too).
Both the kids in Austin we saw with the squeakers were white/Angloamericans. Everyone around had (I project, here) the same reaction: "that's odd, but kind of cute" giving way to "I wonder how long I'm going to hear squeaking?"
You certainly can't blame the children for the noise, as they didn't select the shoes. And if an adult wore shoes like that, you would question their sanity.
The more comments I read, the more I realize that its probably just a fad from Asia that has made it to the US, will run its course, and disappear. So now we've had lights, wheel, and squeakers in shoes. What else can we put in kids' shoes to make them novel?
