WHo needs to buy pre-smudged glasses? Just have my kids handle their glasses with their grimy hands and they'll be smudgy and blurry in no time.

no freaking way. please tell me this is a joke... I can just see it now all these super 'machmir' men actually bumping into random women because they're trying to avoid merely seeing them!!

Thanks for that! I got such a laugh reading the comments.

Anyone have an idea for a catchy name for this product?

Could someone please copy and paste the article? Thanks.

Why a joke? I have non Charedi male friends that take off their glasses altogether if they are at a mixed beach.

Here's the article:

Jerusalem - Soon, it will no longer be necessary for charedi men to walk around while covering their eyes with their hands to avoid seeing women.

Recently, a new start-up company has begun marketing and selling special glasses in charedi neighborhoods such as Meah Shearim. The purpose of the glasses is to prevent charedi men from seeing immodestly-dressed women.

The glasses contain blurry lenses that obscure the wearer�s vision and do allow men not to see more than three meters. For those who already wear glasses, the company has designed stickers that can be affixed to the existing pair of glasses which will obscure the vision.

Yedioth Ahronot reports (http://bit.ly/OH1udI) that the glasses, designed for the charedi community, are intended for charedi men who must go to places where women will be present. The new patent cost the inventors only NIS 25. The patent includes non-prescription glasses and the obscuring stickers. The glasses with the blurry lenses contain perforations at the bottom of the lenses enabling charedi men to look down at the ground through the perforation and still see where they are walking.

Thanks, September June. That's pretty funny. Or maybe sad?

And a tentative ad pitch:

Announcing our new product - Beheima Blinders!

Now, men, you will have blinders protecting you from seeing those pieces of meat some call women but we call by the halachically correct term - beheimas!

P.S. World at large - we have redefined the 'village idiot.' Now there's a great identifying symbol for you to know which men are too moronic to deal with! That is the real function of beheima blinders. You're welcome.
