    Piss me off so much. I don't know why. But I just cringe when I see those mother ****ing weird shaped pieces of **** on someones face. You look like some sort of martian with these on.

    That is all.

    eddie izzard ran 24 marathons in 28 days - he's 47! and a transvestite.
    i couldn't run 24 kilometers in 280 days

    They used to make these in my town, and we treated them like disposable napkins.

    Broke your Ray Bans? No problem, sure everyone had a drawer full of them at home.

    Now they go for about €200 a pair. I could have rich!

    Blame the marketing people
    After Wayfarers' heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, sales declined.[7] Though Wayfarers' cultural popularity was boosted in 1980, particularly due to classic film The Blues Brothers, only 18,000 pairs were sold in 1981,[10] and Wayfarers were on the verge of discontinuation.[11]

    The sunglasses' fate was reversed, however, when in 1982 Ray-Ban signed a $50,000-a-year deal with Unique Product Placement of Burbank, California, to place Ray-Bans in movies and television shows.[10] Between 1982 and 1987, Ray-Ban sunglasses appeared in over 60 movies and television shows per year;[10] Ray-Ban's product placement efforts have continued through 2007.[12] Tom Cruise's wearing of Wayfarers in the 1983 movie Risky Business marked the beginning of a Wayfarers phenomenon; 360,000 pairs were sold that year.[10] By 1986, after appearances in Miami Vice, Moonlighting, and The Breakfast Club, sales had reached 1.5 million.[10] Wayfarers rose to popularity among musicians, including Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Johnny Marr,[13] Blondie's Debbie Harry,[13] Madonna, Elvis Costello,[13] and members of U2,[13] and among other celebrities such as Jack Nicholson,[14] and even Anna Wintour.[15] Bret Easton Ellis' fiction often name-dropped references to Wayfarers,[16] and Don Henley's 1984 song "The Boys Of Summer" contained the lyric "You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby". Canadian pop artist Corey Hart music video Sunglasses At Night shows the artists wearing Wayfarers in darkness. Ray-Ban's Wayfarer offerings expanded from two models in 1981 to more than 40 models by 1989,[17] and Wayfarers were the decade's sunglasses of choice.

    Who is this Ray you speak off, and when did he get the power to ban sunglasses?

    Are those the bug-eye glasses that cover up about 3/4 of a persons face?

    Nah - think Tom Cruise in Top Gun. The original Ray-Ban sunglasses were [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][FONT=verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif]adopted[/FONT][/COLOR] by Navy pilots, since the polarised lenses cut glare from the sea surface. They were useful long before they became a fashion symbol.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
