| Story here - Quote :
- MILWAUKEE – An Illinois man was accused of stealing more than $45,000 worth of eyeglasses from suburban Milwaukee stores because he enjoys being around eyewear. Jerry Lowery, 38, was charged with three counts of armed robbery and one count of fleeing an officer. The charges carry a maximum penalty of more than 120 years in prison and a $310,000 fine.
I have to wonder why. Traditionally speaking, eyeglasses mean someone is a geek. - Quote :
- The criminal complaint quotes Lowery as saying he "really likes to be around glasses." He told investigators he tries them on in front of a mirror and then discards them.
I've worn glasses for *mumbles* years now. It can be a real hassle at times. Traditionally speaking, glasses don't make a person TEH SMECKSY. - Quote :
- Online court records didn't list a defense attorney Monday.
Well, I don't think any sane lawyer would want to defend this one. | |

How many people jacked off to Sarah Palin in spite of the glasses? Also, don't forget Rule 34--if it exists, someone gets off on it. | |

| As usual, the prime example of fetish possibilities is Japan. Glasses, or "megane", are an extremely popular semi-kink there. It's one of the fetishes parodied in Puni Puni Poemi, and there's an entire yaoi game based on the fact that every character in it has glasses.
AND WITH GOOD FUCKING REASON. | |

| Quamp, you've been on GAFF this long and now you're genuinely shocked by a kink as relatively harmless as glasses? You may have actually out-quamped yourself. And my avatar probably makes my own stance on glasses pretty clear. Also, - quamp wrote:

Please stop using that fucking phrase. It was never funny, clever, or cute, and it sounds like you're trying way too hard to sound net-savvy by putting in a deliberate "TEH" typo. | |

Well, I don't think any sane lawyer would want to defend this one. They just haven't gotten around to finding a public defender for him yet. Probably happen when he goes for arraignment. | |

| Uhh, I think the point quamp was trying to make was not that glasses can NEVER BE SEXY (however clumsily handled that was), but rather that holy shit look what this guy did, for his love of "being around" eyewear. | |

| The right glasses increase a person's sexiness by a lot.
But when the glasses aren't connected to a person then, yeah, that goes more into fetish area. | |

So? It's thievery at gunpoint for a rather bizarre reason. No murders, assaults or even injuries mentioned. As far as bad news go, this shouldn't really cause further loss in humanity. All of this is outshined(blotted out?), by anyone who decided to carry out their fetish for underage girls. This is not godawful news, this is bizarro news, and quamp is an easily offended, judgemental ass. We seriously need a threshold for what qualifies as a godawful. | |

"Godawful" doesn't necessarily mean "horrific" or need to involve blood, guts and gore. It's a fairly loose standard. So I would suggest, just for the sake of balance, that before you call anyone else a judgmental ass that you pull the stick out. | |
