If you're going to take the "Women just go crazy for shoes" angle, you might as well go all out, as Sigma Group did in this Web-only video for Famous Footwear, perhaps the worst offender in the genre since that Chevy Traverse raining-shoes spot. Personally, I think the abandoned baby in this new ad is a bit much, but leaving children to fend for themselves at a crosswalk is a close second. Luckily, the kids get their own chance to mob the shoe truck in a back-to-school variation of the ad.
