I can’t tell if this was just a print ad or whether they actually manufactured these things as collateral advertising products but I tend to think it’s the later and pretty clever. The German porn and sex shop chain Beate Uhse is giving its customers glasses that look those black bars you see in print to disguise someone’s identity. Of course the fact that they will in fact draw more attention to you was overlooked but hey it’s just a nifty marketing campaign.
Beate Uhse-Rotermund by the way, (pictured below) was not only the first and only female stunt pilot in the Luftwaffe, but the sex shop that carries her name was the world’s first sex shop when it opened in Flensburg in 1962. Her wikipedia bio is fascinating.
