In the latest, outrageous example of hipster "avant-garde eyewear", a Baltimore-based start up introduces what are essentially wooden blindfolds with coinslots that they call "Slanties". Slanties?! C'mon guys, that's not even subtle - that's just outright racist. What's next, Kike Noses? Nigga Wigs? Towelhead ... um... towels?
They claim the design is based off of "ancient Inuit eyewear".
The inuits also built houses out of ice. Just saying.
If you plan to sacrifice function for form, then the design had better look damn good. Derogatory wooden coinslot facemasks? Not so much.
Anyway, I guess they might be valuable to middle school health teachers to use during their anti-smoking lessons. "This is what it's like when you have cataracts. Not fun, is it?"
No. No it isn't, Mrs. K. Not fun at all. And I look like a total douche.
Did I mention they were 75 fucking dollars?
