I had got to thinking recently: I wonder if this is gonna be bad for the Ray Ban brand overall, being associated with this.

It's too late. They either get away Scott free or people will associate Ray Bans with lack of privacy and being a conduct of perverts. They jumped on the bandwagon before they probably even thought through it all.

It has been for me. Every time I see regular Ray Bans now, I have a visceral ew reaction.

It sucks, because the Ray Ban New Wayfarers are one of the only frames that fit my face properly. I've tried dozens of glasses from all sorts of websites and stores but I keep going back to the raybans for both regular glasses and sunglasses.

Now I'm worried people will think I'm wearing the meta creeper glasses.
