Censor Glasses

Not Japan related at all but directly related to the post I made a few days ago regarding Japanese Portrait Rights.
This is the solution that "anti portrait rights" people have been waiting for.

As you know, if you take a picture of a crowd where there are recognizable faces showing, the owner of that face can sue you if you publish that photo. Rather than enforce portrait rights as a law, law should be passed that people who are anal about their face showing up anywhere should wear these glasses instead.
These glasses can be purchased at drinkstuff for 19 USD ^^;
Via James2us.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Otaku category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

This could help saving time for bloggers as well. They don't have to spent time masking or blurring the face ^^

Not very convincing...

You can see the guy's eyes through those rectangular glasses. Of course, from afar it is another thing...
Not very different from regular sunglasses otherwise if you ask me.

It also produces unwanted attention (Which is the main problem with them... The person wearing it wants to remain discreet but ironically risks to attract people.

Censorship is serious business, but the humor value of this thing is pretty high. Maybe I should buy one for the lulz.

If people don't want to see themselves on other people photos over the internet than they should stay at home and never get out. Everyday you go outside you get "taped" or camera shot by something or someone else, from surveillance cameras to cell phones with cameras. People with this problem have just a big paranoia and should not be considered normal.

Yes I agree, they should be forced to wear these glasses. As well as wear a shirt with the following caption: Shoot me baby because I'm a loser.

I keep thinking of "Peril Sensitive Sunglasses" when I look at these things, but those are cool. ^^;
