Default HD Vision Glasses

I saw this commercial last night and had to rewind it a few times to understand what the hell they were implying. Seriously???



"You haven't seen the world until you've seen it in HD."

Riiiight, anyone else see this commercial or worse yet, order these? What a crock.

A guy I work with ordered two pair, one for himself and one for a friends birthday present. I tried them on, they suck, and they certainly don't have the stylish look the commercial claims.

I get a good chuckle out of people who purchase these things, it reminds me of that super-fataing-######ed infomercial about those amazing hearing aids that werent hearing aids that let you listen in on conversations happening a 100 meters away.

I believe that this is actually part of a covert Government program where everyone and anyone who buys this ######ed BS is immediately pegged as a lower form of human and are subsequently rounded up and eradicated or made to toil in servitude at a McDonalds in Sri Lanka.

Make sure to let the friend know that when the guy bought his one pair, he got the other for free. What a cheapskate.

I'm still waiting for my x-ray glasses that I ordered from "The Amazing Spiderman #72" comic ad pages from 1978. I really want to look at the bones in my hands and sneak a peek at hot girls.

How does he feel about McDonalds on secluded islands and questionable meat-like ingredients?

This is really happening people!

Do hot girls bones look any different than ugly girls bones?

You must strap them to your head with an HDMI cable for best performance!

I would recommend Monoprice for the cables but if you bought these glasses you would probably feel more comfortable buying monster cables from Future Shop.

They look suspiciously similar to the "Blue Blocker" sunglasses being sold in the 90's.

Of course- Monster Cable endorsed studies have shown that they hold the glasses tighter to one's head than any other cable! They work best because they are the most expensive!

Depends on if I'm jumping them or not.

If not they're stuck up bones

If so, they're a lovely thing.

I had an honest debate with myself for half that video trying to figure out if that was fake or not. File this one under "They're buying it ... these idiots are actually buying it!".

LOL. I've seen a similar infomercial on cable during the playoffs.

Why the hell is the world without the sunglasses so pale and white?

Sad thing is, there are people buying this. Likely older folks who don't know any better and think this is a revolutionary product.

Probably not, but don't forget about the all-time worst excuse for obesity: I'm not fat, I'm big boned!
