Homeland Security Commissions LED-Based Puke-Saber

E++99 writes "Homeland Security has contracted with Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc. to develop an "LED Incapacitator," a nonlethal weapon consisting of a large flashlight with a cluster of LEDs capable of emitting "super-bright pulses of light at rapidly changing wavelengths." Sounds innocuous enough... until they they shine "the evil color" at you and you start puking! A working prototype has been completed, and they will soon be putting it through its paces. Homeland Security hopes to give it to Border Patrol agents and National Guardsmen by 2010."

    We definitely need some kind of device to shield our eyes from this "light". As I understand a practical way would be just covering our eyes, we could shape them as glasses! Not only that, but it could protect us from the suns blinding rays... I suggest we call this device "sunglasses" to deceive others of its true purpose!

    Now if someone just invented these "sunglasses"...

    They have a prototype of such an application at goatse.cx and there is an alternative competing version found at tubgirl.com

    Sorry had to:

    Sunglasses at night

    I wear my sunglasses at night
    So I can so I can
    Watch you live and breathe your storylines

    (And) I wear my sunglasses at night
    So I can so I can
    Keep track of the visions in my eyes

    While she's deceiving me
    It cuts my security (has)
    She got control of me
    I turn to her and say

    Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no
    Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no
    I can't believe it
    You got it made with the guy in shades, oh no

    (And) I wear my sunglasses at night
    So I can so I can
    Forget my name while you collect your claim

    And I wear my sunglasses at night
    So I can so I can
    See the light that's right before my eyes

    While she's deceiving me
    She cuts my security (has)
    She got control of me
    I turn to her and say

    Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no
    Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no
    I can't believe it!
    Don't be afraid of the guy in shades, oh no
    It can't escape you
    'Cause you got it made with the guy in shades, oh no

    I said I wear my sunglasses
    I wear my sunglasses at night
    Wear my sunglasses at night
