Bad Idea Jeans, LITERALLY

Obviously, these are your pants. You wear them on your body. People see you in them and they're like "of course he/she is wearing those pants. It makes sense when you think about it. The part I don't understand is why they seem so confident." In the morning you're like "Am I going to wear my action pants today, or my quackers?"

PATENT PENDING. (Thanks for the tip, Anna.)

Patent Pending, obvs. Keep that intellectual property locked down. Thwart that sea of potential infringers. "Have you seen my new 'Blinkers' jeans?" "Nope. Because Winkers is patented, sucka!"

They called me crazy when I kept going on and on about the under utilized potential of the ass crease. "You're sick!" They'd say. "You have weird fetishes." They'd say. "Stay away from my family!" They'd say. Well, look who's got the last laugh now. Ha. And I'll revel in it.

At first, I asked myself, "Why in the world is this three and a half minutes long". Then I made a startling discovery: for each individual showcase, the laugh factor grows exponentially as time goes by. By the time you realize that you've been watching these fat owl ass eyes wink alternately at you for nearly a minute straight, you're laughing so hard that you're seriously considering putting on forty pounds and buying a pair. Whoever made this is a marketing genius and deserves a substantial raise.

Hey Professor Human Tragedy, don't be an asshole. Be more like your cousin Gabe. Gabe is funny and not an asshole at all. Your aunt was telling me yesterday that Gabe always brings home the prettiest girls. How come you never bring any girls home? I just get so worried. I only ever see you hanging around with your friend Steve. I just think its weird that he wears a vest and no shirt, thats all. Don't you think thats weird?

I like how it looks like your Hamburglar avatar is pointing out the Winkers options on the Winkers menu at the Winkers drive-thru. Because at those prices, Winkers, Inc., could afford to hire Hamburglar away from Ronald's posse.

I guess it's the shape of your ass that will determine whether the eyes will appear to be winking or just going full retard.

Thanks, Gabe, for surreptitiously indoctrinating me into your strange new fetish. Will the next step be watching naked fat asses with painted on owl eyes walking away à la those stupid Sports Illustrated painted swimsuits?
