If we never see another advertisement for HD sunglasses, it'll be too soon. What is it about "HD" that makes us flip out? HDTVs have been around for years, yet we're still enamored with the novelty of those two letters. Just do us a favor. The next time you're out to eat and the waiter asks how you'd like your steak cooked, reply "I'd like it in HD, please."

This is real.
