Digital Music Eyewear From Oakley

Oakley is marketing a new line of digital music eyewear in time for the holidays. $400-$500 is an obscene lot for a small USB MP3 player, but the coolness factor is way up there.

All sunglasses sold in the EU must conform to certain safety standards. The word "Oakley" doesn't actually increase level of protection from UV. If you want to blow an extra £296 on that word in the belief that it does, it's completely up to you.
Government of the people, by corporate executives, for corporate profits.
Troll?!? How was this modded a troll? If anybody is trolling it is the moderator that modded this troll!
Not a troll, but - wtf is "Lil' John"? Some rapper, I presume? Either way, those teeth are frightening - they definatley must know their target market, since I never heard of this guy and certainly don't recognize him.
