Anko Pervert Glasses Sell Out In Grim New Low For Society

There were lines this week that snaked into the Kmart carpark in Betoota Heights as locals fought for their spot to secure a pair of Anko pervert glasses.

It is a stunning new low for our once-cosmopolitan desert community.

The Anko pervert glasses are a cheap knockoff of the Ray Ban version, which retails at about $350 while these slave-made dupes retail for a sensible $89.

By harnessing the power of indentured servitude in some far off hell hole in a country where you can't drink the tapwater, Kmart has made the world of unlawfully filming people against their will accessible to even the most humble of pervert.

Some readers have written to The Advocate in disgust, while others have defended the product.

One Betoota Heights resident said it is, or should be, against the law to film people without their consent. Even if they're in public. Which is the position of this masthead. Another reader from our bohemian French Quarter explained that it will allow them to film content for their doll restoration YouTube channel with relative ease. We passed their details onto Queensland Police and the AFP.

What unnerves a Betoota Grove man is that, due to the product selling out, there are now potentially hundreds of these things in the wild around town. They want one-punch laws wound back to allow people the right to punch the chin off anyone wearing a pair in public.

They argue that this product is a slave to nefarious intent. Nobody sound of mind and heart would ever desire to own a pair. They are for the bottom drawer of the community. Bits of plastic that will be on Earth until it's sucked into the sun and exploded. Then it will be space junk.

The Advocate spoke to a young man who recently bought a pair, who said he was doing so because he wanted to film his interactions with people and then store the footage for later. What he will do with the footage, he says, is none of our business.

More to come.
