We Are Not Equal
Angie brought to my attention that Oakley makes a line of eye wear specifically for Asians. If you look at most of the features, they are noting that Asians are shovel faces. What’s that mean? Asian noses look like they’ve been met with the flat side of a shovel. Then you take a look at what they call the stems. At first you might be insulted that Oakley is saying that Asians have fat heads, but this is not the case. Asian heads are simply bursting with things like math and martial arts. That is why they are larger than our non Asian counterparts.
While Oakley appears to be going out of their way for their Asian customers, I’ll tell you that it’s a fair trade off. They’re cost of product is lower because they don’t have to use as much lens surface area in their glasses. The slant-eyed people can’t make full use of the lenses anyway. Don’t believe me? Think back to Biology in high school.
Every Asian kid in biology has asked, “How come everyone else’s microscope has a wider view angle than mine? I think my microscope is broken. Also, I think I had a bad specimen. I had all these worms moving around on my slide.”
Can anyone guess what happened here?

This is true - as asians, we are lacking the neanderthal protruding brow ridge, and oakleys don’t really fit well on us, haha.

Oh, as for that eye thing, I don’t get why everyone thinks our eye sget in the way of vision. The eyelids never cross the iris.

It’s not so much a brow ridge as a nose bridge. I actually have a bridge on my nose, so I can wear glasses the standard glasses. When I wear safety goggles a lot for work, however, those hurt like hell on the sides of my head. I must have a lot of math and martial arts in the noggin.

Oh yeah. My Gravatar is the proof. No shovel nose here.
