For Those With No Taste From Head to Toe

I've got my TV on and they are hawking some cheap-ass ugly sunglasses called "HD Vision Wrap-Arounds." You wear them over your regular glasses, which is a fashion look that should not be normally attempted by anyone who is younger than John McCain and who is not riding in a scooter-chair, unless you are wearing Crocs.

If you wear Crocs, go ahead, wear the geezer sunglasses, for anything that draws people's attention away from those ugly plastic hooves will only be a plus.

  1. I love this part of the website:

    "Just like High Definition TV"

    What marketing genius came up with that comparison? How on Earth are a pair of ugly ass $19.95 tinted eyeglass covers in any similar to a $2000 42" LCD TV in your living room?

    And a better question: how long before they get sued by someone who claims "Hey, I thought I was going to watch HDTV in my glasses for $19.95!".

    Based on that HDTV claim, some fools might be expecting an HD version of these things: i-Glasses

  2. But... but... wrap-around sunglasses are the latest style!

    These look like the industrial safety glasses that I wore back in my oilfield days, except tinted. Those ugly-ass glasses were intended to keep shit from putting my eyes out, not make a fashion statement. These ugly-ass glasses... uhm. Well, I might wear'em but only because I can't get prescription wrap-around sunglasses in my prescription (my bad eye requires -5.50 correction, the most they can do in the wraparounds is -4.5 correction).

  3. As I get older than dirt I notice that I am not the fashion model I could have been, the kindest thing a woman said about my dress style was that I was stuck in the sixties. Which is where I wanted to stay for a long long time - now I am in my sixties and dress as I like for my reasons - but wooden shoes around the yard don't equate to those plastic clogs, do they?

  4. Earl, no, they don't. Clogs are a classic style. Crocs, on the other hand, should not be worn by anyone who is or who has attended the first grade.
