Man Physically Assaulted At McDonald's For Wearing Digital Eye Glasses
RockoW writes "Steve Mann, a long-time researcher of computer vision systems, (i.e. Augmented reality, Digital Eyeglass) had an incident at a McDonald's in Paris, France. He was assaulted by three men during his visit to get food with his family. They had a problem with his digital eye glasses and tried to take them off his head. 'The eyeglass is permanently attached and does not come off my skull without special tools.' The men also tore up Mann's documentation and a letter from his doctor explaining the device's use. Fortunately, the rough treatment of the device caused it to keep recent images in its memory, instead of quickly overwriting them, so Dr. Mann has pictures of the men who assaulted him."
He claims McDonald's doesn't publish contact information, either...

Didn't try very hard, did he? There may not be an e-mail address there, but there's a phone number, in Paris, that he can call and speak to a human being who would be very interested to find out the details of the alleged assault, and would almost certainly give him an address where he can send the photos.
Posting as AC because people like you won't understand. As someone who has recently been to France and seen this first hand I can tell you it's pretty much true. Call us racist and blow your PC whistle all you want it doesn't change reality.
France is AWESOME. Unless you have to deal with the French.
If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits
Oh and referring to them as "females"? What the fuck are you, a nigger?
No, because then he would have said "bitches".
