The "free" GATTACA sunglasses (www.gattacorp.com) that are advertised
in so-called "high-end magazines" are a scam. The sunglasses are of
pitifully poor quality, made from cheap plastic and utterly useless.
They have been in this business of fraud for over 5 years - do they
sell at regular retail price at all, I wonder?

Get ready for the sucker catagory.
I got some and.....how can I say this....
they are like looking through very dirty glass.
The plastic isn't worth the few cents it costs
them to make them.   Shipping/handling...yea! right!
Welcome to the club!

I have seen them and they are purely crap. I was actually stupid
enough
to purchase a pair and I have seen better quality goods come from
gumball machines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
