HD Glasses For An HD World

July 15th, 2009 1 comment

Okay, this just struck me as just plain silly.  I saw this television commercial last night hawking sunglasses that magically allows one to see the world in “high definition” (that’s right, they kept touting “high definition” vision, I’m guessing like Superman or Burgess Meredith in that Twilight Zone episode, before he dropped his glasses).  Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the world already in “high definition”? 

Does the real world seem more real while wearing these enchanted sunglasses?  And I really dig the “one times magnification” option:  

Honestly…do they genuinely consider this a valid selling point?  Do I have to pay extra for the “no magnification” magnification option?
