Is this the new douche-gear or what?!?! Holy crap, I know dumb trends come and go but this one has really taken off (here at least). It's like every other guy here has those ridiculous thick white framed sunglasses. Seriously, why not just wear a teeshirt saying "I'm fuckin' retarded" or better yet just have the teeshirt have a picture of a douche bag.
I was at a stop light today, look over and this car next to me (late 90's or early 00's BMW 3-series) had 4...I repeat 4 guys all wearing them!!!

I mean, who is that person who makes this shit popular? What kind of ballsy person does this? Clearly it's some worthless pop-culture jackass with a lot of money. Worthless pop-culture waste of space: "Hmmm, I think I'm going to wear a clown nose today". BOOM! Everyone wearing clown noses despite how absolutely ridiculous they look.

People are just so damned dumb!
Anyone on the boards here have these ultra-cool sunglasses? I hope for your sake if you do, you don't admit it...

    I wore a clown nose on halloween once with giant orange framed sunglasses :) To each their own I guess. Personally I don't spend more than 20 bucks on sunglasses from the mall kiosk, by the end of summer I'm guaranteed to break/lose them.

    Oh man, I've seen them all. Remember that guy in Back to the Future? Hung out with Biff...(LOL!!!) The square, crazy white ones. I've seen those!!! I think anything white-framed is cool.


    God, I'm so lame! Hahaha

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    knock offs are fun though! i must say, after seeing ms. hilton in those white ones, i'm glad mine are black.
