Oh God. So this is what's next?

Behold: the Slantie

http://slanties.com/images/propoganda/ella_launch.jpg

Now that people at my school have been seen wearing them, Kanye's 'shutter shades' are officially dead. It's obvious that something had to come next, but what? Maybe it will be Slanties. Maybe something else?


http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/8710/16150974.png

Do you think Slanties will become the next 'shutter shade'?

Would you buy a pair of Slanties?

Do you think something else will become more popular? If so, please share.

ect.

ect.

ect.

ect.

discuss...

That fad died out around here about 2 years ago. But they're stupid, I agree.

Oh, these are a new version of shutter shades? They look just as stupid as shutter shades.

It a curved bit of wood with a couple of slits in it. Does anyone else get the feeling that calling them "slanties" is a bit of an insult to orientals.

If I saw someone wearing whatever that is, I'd probably have to punch them in the face, and give them splinters in their eyes.

Only if you call Asians by that name, which I presume is a lot more offensive. So it is only offensive to Asians if you already associate them with the term "slantie".

You might say it's a slant at the Asian community! (insert awesome face)

But, (Most) Americans always think Asians eyes are slanted, hence slanties.

I'm half Chinese, I do find that a tad insulting if someone called me a slantie to my face(but I don't have slanted eyes.. at all), but I find it more funny, because it makes the person wearing it look like a dork. :D

Well Slanties were just 'released' (like they were some sort of caged beast) so many people probably haven't heard of them. Not having heard of shutters, though. That's surprising.

The Lady Gaga glasses?

Nifty_Shark

Those are possible contenders. I personally hope the Slanties beat them in popularity though. Just because of how ridiculous they are and because I hate Lady Gaga. If they weren't 75 freaking dollars I would have thought about getting a pair just because. :P

The shutter shades only just caught on at my school, and I really hope these things never take off.

Agreed. Aviators are the best. Especially the plastic, brightly colored ones. :P Can't get enough of those.

It a curved bit of wood with a couple of slits in it. Does anyone else get the feeling that calling them "slanties" is a bit of an insult to orientals.AnObscureName
It's not racist.
