There's something just a bit disturbing about this: Jeans that wink as you walk.
They're Winker Jeans, nicknamed Winkers. The imprinted eyes on the butt wink at anybody following the wearer. And how thrilling, they're made in America, the brainchild of William Jones, a retired father of five and grandfather of seven who lives in Everett, WA.
You can smell the excitement at the company headquarters, whose website declares, "Patent pending," and hot diggity, "Licensing Is Available!
Jones says that the idea came to him when, naturally, he was checking out a woman as she walked past him. Nice. Grampa's a dirty old man.
His range isn't limited to just eyes, though. The imprints include ducks that seem to quack, an owl that blinks, a Lion King jungle scene, and a scene slates that you snap on the set when the direct yells, "Action!"
Watch, if you dare!
This seems like a conflict of interest to me. All the people in the video who
are wearing these things look like they spend a lot of time sitting on their duffs.
Cost for a pair of jeans: $569 each.
If people start buying these, it won't mean the recession is over; it'll just prove once again that a fool and his money are soon parted.
Then again, you know the old saying: Men seldom make passes at girls with eye-asses, I mean glasses.
Keep back; that cat has bad breath!
--Of course, grampa's jeans sound like sandpaper. He wears corduroy pants.
--Know why you don't see any men in this video wearing these? Doesn't work with kilts...
--Can't wait until Winker-Tees, which catch waddles of waist fat winking at people trying to walk around you.
--They should make some with hands/fingers that look like they're scratchin' you. Okay, my 10-year-old came up with that.
--Even better idea for the next batch of jeans: Popeye eating his spinach. (Okay, I thought of that!)
--Truly a sign of the end times.
--Attention stalkers: The person wearing the jeans isn't actually winking at you.
How could you support Obama's health care plan? He does not have one. Nancy Pelosie has one. Harry Reid has one. Barack Obama has not read either one of them by his own admission and will sign whatever comes to his desk.
As for this article about jeans that wink being somehow tied to Sara Palin. When will you liberals learn that attacking Sara on a personal level is just not going to work ? She would never get your support anyway so she is not looking for it. Those idiotic jeans will no doubt be great sellers and they will be sold to people who vote for democrats, not people who vote for Republicans.
The inventor/designer of those jeans probably never voted for a Republican in his life, and if you stop and think about it you know it.

This is what's known as a joke, so lighten up.
"When will you liberals learn that attacking Sara on a personal level is just not going to work?"
Liberals don't have to attack Palin; she does most of the work herself every time she opens her mouth. And by the way, if you're going to be a faithful fan who thinks he's on a first-name basis with her, at least learn to spell her name: Sarah. Even SHE knows how to do that.
It's unfortunate the Palin option is a joke. I was thinking if the jeans could also convert toots to Palin quotes, they could serve her as a campaign uniform.
Marieanne says: "The perfect jeans for Sarah Palin fans" You, sir, are an elitist snob.
Why don't you tell a Ted Kennedy joke. I'm sure that'll make you feel better. Your problem is that you like Sarah Palin. It's a mistake to like politicians. It gets in the way of being objective about them. They don't care about you; certainly Sarah Palin doesn't. She's as bogus as the rest, and a lot less bright.

I can't afford health insurance but I might have to take out a loan so I can buy those ass-tiger pants.

How about pictures of the Fish Barons of the Bering Sea. They've been winking their way to the bank for going onto twenty years.
oh these are fun. it's an interesting idea. i went to the website, www.winkersdesign.com.
Somehow, sitting on Sarah Palin's face seems both kinky, and appropriate...

um, Robert, you know the Sara Palin version is a joke right?
but if you stopped and thought about it for a second, well, I guess you probably still wouldn't know it.

I never cease to be amazed at how crazy the divine Mrs P drives all you progressive types. It's like a nervous twitch.
I want to throb and squirt all over the Palin jeans
Got something to say?
