I was watching the television today, and I saw the most idiotic commercial ever. The commercial was for a pair of HD Sunglasses. Let's look at that acronymn HD for a second: H=high, D=definition.

Now, why is this stupid? Maybe only someone with knowledge of what the term HD really means would think this is ridiculous. What is HD? High definition is a term associated to television or video broadcasts or files that are of a resolution higher than that of NTSC or PAL standards. Since real life optics have no pixel-by-pixel resolution, this makes no sense. The company could have easily used another acronymn, like "OE" for Optic Enhancement, or "BQ" for better quality, or perhaps "WS" for Worthless Scam. What a waste of twenty good American dollars.
