These glorious looking things are 3-D glasses being released by Hasbro for when you go see 'Transformers 3' to make the event more...fun?
The glasses are going to retail for about $10 a pair and come in Optimus Prime, or Bumblebee, two levels of cool.
It's easy to make fun of these, but clearly they're designed for kids and not adults but I have a sneaky suspicion that we wont see only kids wearing these when we go to the theaters.
I think the guys over at TopLessRobot said it best when it comes to these glasses, and I quote:
"However, if you see any child wearing one of these outside a 3-D movie theater, you are legally required to push him down. Not to be mean, but to help the young nerdlings understand that some nerdery must stay inside. By giving them a light ass-kicking, you're going to help them avoid a major ass-kicking in the future. So please, for the sake of the nerd children... push 'em down. They'll thank you for it in about 20 years or so"
I couldn't have said it better myself.
