Seattle Bar Owner Bans Google Glass, In Advance

Posted by timothy on from the we-don't-want-your-kind dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A popular Seattle bar and restaurant has posted a notice on its Facebook page warning patrons that wearing Google Glass will not be tolerated. 'Ass kicking will be encouraged for violators,' wrote Dave Meinert, owner of the 5 Point Cafe, perhaps in a mock aggressive tone. GeekWire reports that Meinert raised privacy concerns in an interview with a local radio station: 'People want to go there and be not known and definitely don't want to be secretly filmed or videotaped and immediately put on the Internet.' A subsequent FB post includes more Meinert musings on Google Glass: 'They are really just the new fashion accessory for the fanny pack & never removed Bluetooth headset wearing set,' along with unflattering photos of a pair of early adopters."

    Is a dive bar located 2 blocks from the Space Needle. The best thing I can say about it is that you can watch the CCTV of the laundry next door. I did like being able to enjoy a beer while keeping an eye on my stuff in the dryer.

    Duct tape. It makes any pair of glasses more manly.

    And it's my right to film young MILF's breast feeding in public. ;)

    And it's my right to point out that the plural of MILF is MILFs (and not "MILF's").

    Nice try. You're confusing breastfeeding with a breast that is feeding.
    I bet you feel more than a little embarrassed now.

    P.S. How else do you think breasts get so big. You have to feed them.

    Then that would be 'a' young MILF's breast feeding in public. :)

    Unless MILF was being used as a proper noun: "And it's my right to film young MILF's breast feeding in public" is structurally equivalent to "And it's my right to film young Harry's rabbit feeding in public"

    You can feel comforted by the fact that if you're assaulted in Arizona, there will always be someone in range who can defend you.
