Argh. the stupidity !

Picture this..
you leave home and you wonder, what if you might be hit by some 1/4" steel balls at 150 feet/second in the eye ? Fear no more, coz you could always buy this.

The lenses run almost perfectly clear to a nice, dark tint in the sun, with nearly 100 percent UVA/B protection. They have an ANSI Z87.1+ rating, which means they’re shatter-proof even when struck by a 1/4-inch steel ball at 150 feet/second. The lenses are polycarbonate, so a significant scrape against sand, ground, etc. would probably scratch them.

I read the ANSI Z87 part, and I thought wtf !

Just imagine wearing these and feeling safe coz you're protected from 1/4" inch steel balls hitting your eyes at 150feet/second and then a little while later absentmindedly dropping your shades on the road. You pick them up and find out that you cant really use them anymore coz now they're scratched. How ridiculously stupid will you feel then ? protection against 1/4" steel balls (dont forget the speed: 150 feet/ second) but no protection against a simple ground scratch. what about 151 feet /second ?

damn i dont know if im just too happy coz my exams are over that makes me giggle , or is this just pure stupidity.
