    Pighead's kept his silence for years and held his court during some of the worst fashion disasters of our time but this google glasses nonsense has proven to be the straw that broke the camel's back. It's time to speak out.

    Pighead held his council during the fiasco's that were ugg boots, baggy jeans, the word meh and manbags but this google glasses crap is really taking the biscuit.

    Surely this won't take off. It can't. Will lose all faith in the youth of today if google glasses become this years livestrong wristbands. Have no problem with either google or indeed glasses but putting the two together is ridiculous.

    Google claim that these glasses will dramatically impact social behaviour in the future and they're right to a point. They'll cause howls of laughter and derision on the streets as the normal well adjusted people laugh at the misguided dweebs.

    These glasses are the biggest threat to making human heads look ridiculous since the moustache. And before anybody calls Pighead old fashioned they'd do well to remember he's a fan of hip hop, hoodies and gritty American TV series such as 24 and Breaking Bad.

    Knowing After Hours is populated with dweebs Pighead is slightly hesitant in putting up a poll but in the interests of scientific research will throw one up regardless.

    Pighead has no idea why this chick looks so pleased with herself. Frankly, she looks ridiculous.

    Better than the glasses with no lenses that the hipsters liked to wear


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭Hardonraging


    I've missed you old chap, perhaps you'd feel better if i sent you a free pair of those fancy google glasses, for indoor wear only ?

    Could you not have found a smaller picture of them?

    Hipsters Schmipsters. Have to disagree. Some girls can pull off the lensless glasses look with great aplomb. The look of a fox. A look that is impossible to achieve with the google goggles.

    They do have some advantages

    I'm sure pighead relises that these aren't just for fashion purposes, they're more like a tiny computer that you wear on your face.

    I believe the technical term is 'glassholes'.

    I think the tech is great and reckon I'll get it on launch.

    Sorry Pighead, you have lost all respect from Boombastic with this post :mad:

    Pighead has missed his Hardonraging friend as well.:cool:

    Why couldn't they just look like regular glasses?

    I think the concept is really cool but the look is naff.

    They look worse than Beats by Dre, but that took off...

    Pighead's well aware of that MadYaker. Question is where will it all end? Today a computer on our face, tomorrow a microwave, the next day a bicycle. Ridiculous idea that can only end in failure. Phones nowadays are more than capable of being used as a computer on the go. Faces are for eating, smiling and kissing. Not for computing.

    why didn't they just go with normal glasses? Bloody Jordi la Forge looking yokes!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,351 ✭✭✭NegativeCreep

    They remind me of the glasses the black lad in Ned;s declassified school survival guide. Man I loved that show! I want a pair and I'm not ashamed to admit it :L


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy


    FYI Pighead - you know the price tag on these things is like $1500 ??

    I wouldn't worry about them becoming the new trend at that price

    Sorry to hear that Boombastic but Pighead realises that some friendships will be sacrificed when in the business of 'TELLING IT LIKE IT IS'. We'll meet again some day.

    The sheer stupidity of anyone who uses this. It's designed to make nerds think they're some kind of cyberpunk when in reality they're allowing-even paying for the 'privilege'-an advertising agency (which is what google actually is) to strap technology right up to their eyeballs so they can improve their ability to sell them crap they don't need.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,629 ✭✭✭googled eyes

    If you could get a pair to clip onto my glasses without looking bulky or like clip on sunglasses I'd buy a pair.

    Beautiful post latenia. Immaculate usage of the words, 'stupidity' 'nerds' and 'crap', Brave as well. Pretty good chance that the google head honchos are currently banning you from google as we type. Big swing. We'll always have altavista, cuil, yahoo.

    Could be handy for various work scenarios when you need a constant update of information.

    Which is irrelevant anyway as people are being replaced by technology itself.

    I agree with the Porky One. They look silly and if you could just check your emails in your glasses all the time you'd lose the needed social skill of constantly looking down at your phone which we all have developed in the past few years.

    But, you're way ahead of this trend,googled eyes!
