Spy Glasses Set International Espionage to Your Very Own Soundtrack
Posted by Mark Wilson at 11:45 PM on July 30, 2008
What's better than stealing highly guarded secrets through your special digital camera glasses? How about stealing said secrets to AC/DC's Night Prowler? An otherwise gaudy but inconspicuous set of Oakley Thump knockoffs, these Spy Camera+MP3 Sunglasses capture shots through a wireless shutter control--1.3MP photos saved in 2GB of storage--and they play your favourite MP3s for up to 6 hours through the rechargeable lithium ion battery. If only these were around when we were ten, oh the parliament buildings we could have pretended to infiltrate. US$165. [brando]

@Anomynoose: I agree. Blind people are the worst. If they're not wearing sunglasses, they're dragging around dogs.

Dog the Bounty Hunter would LOVE these. He could now film his own show while listening to his theme song. Dogcast:The Bounty Hunting Podcast!

oh, and i guess i shouldn't have been surprised that these are made by brando. gizmodo is whoring themselves out to this company. but i can understand why. With the wide variety of products and superior craftsmanship, Brando is the company of the future! Looking to tomorrow while building for today! Go visit our website and find out for yourself!

you know, if these spy/camera/sex-preventer combo glasses becomes popular, i hope legislation is passed to prevent all idiots from wearing sunglasses indoors. why do people feel the need to wear sunglasses inside a building? and don't give me the excuse, "oh, i'm blind and don't want to draw attention to my crazy eye region."

@Anomynoose: Please keep in mind I only dislike certain blind people. Like the one my Ex cheated on me with and dumped me for. I actually support the Seeing Eye, and helped raise a puppy for a summer. Unless it's a cool talking watch, they it's bogus.

@Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy: not to mention those weapons of miniature destruction canes they wield. and i don't want to seem like a prick, but i knew a blind girl that used to wear a watch. what's up with that?

@VideoVampire: hahaha, that's hilarious. but you never know, the dude was probably pulling a maggie lizer on you and was trying to not get you weirded out when he "accidentally" grabbed your package

@ANoel: nope. it was actually a calculator watch of all things. i used to help her out at my school. i never felt right asking her, so instead i post about it on the internet years later
@Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy: haha, that kiind of reminds me of a story bill cosby told about hanging out with ray charles. one day ray decided to shave and bill helped him to the bathroom and got freaked out when ray started shaving with the lights off.

I once had a blind guy (a friend's father) hire me to set up his home theatre system! Thats not even the strangest part, see, I needed some cables so the three of us got into my car to go to Target and my friend didnt know the area very well so now I had the blind saying shit like turn here, turn there, when there was nowhere to turn! Your right blind people suck.

@Anomynoose: Well, I do hate Puffins. And I hate all of them. And the blind mess with people though. Case in point. The guy who is w/my Ex now, he skydives. I mean, how do you not freak people out getting on a plane w/a cane? On the plus side, I see him as a perfect Darwin Award candidate.

@Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy: but it's so inefficient to do my hating one at a time. i'm much more into the broad sweeping generalizations. but seriously, it pisses me off when people mess with the blind. i mean, dicks like ed mcmahon and dick clark had that hidden camera show and pranked stevie wonder once. what the crap?

@Munch the BanNail: @Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy: "I love to stand behind people at ATM's and when they enter their PIN number, I say 'got it' and then run away."
and i agree about the bumps. the day all of these buttons started looking like some poor kid getting hit hard with puberty (acne reference) was a day that i felt sorry for that one kid whose face resembles a pizza (reference to kids with acne). a pizza full of pimples.

@Munch the BanNail: Why are there dots on a drive up ATM? Having blind people hanging out your back window to use an ATM is dangerous. Unless you have them sitting on your lap. But why would you let a blind person sit on your lap behind the wheel?

@Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy: @Anomynoose: I couldn't agree more - damned blind people making all of my previously-smooth ATM and elevator buttons all bumpy.

I hate to point out the obvious, but these are for guys on beaches taking pictures of babes in bikinis. (Or buff guys in speedos.) Then again I dont think many gay guys would wear these.

@Curves: I was thinking more like the guy holding them in his hand in the mall, while standing behind the gal in the short skirt on the escelator/stairs. They don't look like a camera, and they don't have a flash so...

@Anomynoose: If it's an analog watch all they have to do is have the glass covering removed and they can feel the hands to tell time.
@Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy: The dots thing is simply because an ATM is designed generically. Regardless of whether or not you're putting it in a mall, or at a drive-up atm. Only the housing changes.
What always got me was, even with the bumps. How many fscking ATMs do you know that operate exactly the same way? How many folk were confused when they suddenly started to ask you if you want your instructions in English, Spanish, Farsi, Chinese, Japanese, or Binary?

Word of advice... guys, I don't care how sunny it is out, DO NOT walk into a public Mensroom wearing these. Really.

@Xavoc:
In his Oakley Thump knockoffs he pleads...
It's much to late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of fife
But you misread my meaning when i met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although i search myself, it's always someone else i see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me...
WHAM!!!!

@Xavoc: I called up my bank and asked if I could "save" my language preference b/c I don't plan on learning Spanish anytime soon, and even if I did, I doubt I would forget English during that time. They told me there is NO way to choose a language. Maybe I'll go complain in the branch...

I for one am looking forward to wearing these when I am crawling through the heating vents, looking for the womens room, while listening to the mission impossible theme.
