    I get the Geek Sheek glasses trend, and I understand the importance of fashion in the optical industry, but to make glasses bigger and thicker and uglier doesn't make it right.

    Best way I know is to encourage this braniac/fashion generation to wear said eyewear in their wedding photos. Then sit back and wait 10 years.

    They should come with complimentary pocket protectors and a one year subscription to Playboy to see the action you're missing because of your BCG's!

    Why stop it? It's a look that's begging for a backup pair.

    when they get tired of them in 6 months sell the a drill mount for the opposite look.

    I couldn't agree more! The last thing I want to do is sell a look that never goes out of style. Besides, I think of them as birth control for the teens. Nothing like put 2 lbs of plastic frame on a pretty face to complete the "look".

    Don't forget to sell them FFSV hi index, this trend might just mean the end of the recession for all of us.

    After all these years do you really expect 20/20 to be in good taste?
