For CNN, who wrote an article saying Harry Reid was seen wearing Wayfarers - a classic Ray Ban style - in the capital because of a facial injury he’s getting over. In fact, these glasses aren’t even Ray Bans, and thus can’t possibly be Wayfarers. Someone wrote an actual paragraph about Wayfarers, and mentioned Blues Brothers and Risky Business, and a five year old could tell the different between the Wayfarer lens shape and any other glasses. Ray Bans don’t even have two metal dots on each side like the ones he’s wearing. Serious lazy, serious dumb happening here.

They even ran this on the article:
- Rayban Wayfarers certainly do have those two metal oval dots.monospaced
- also, they said "wayfarer-like" and then named the actual brandmonospaced
- Hipster complaint is hipstercannonball1978
- Wrong. Genuine Wayfarers made by Ray-Ban have a single silver oval on each side. Never had two dots on each side.mg33
- Ha! Funny enough they added that bit about the actual brand after I saw this originally. Some noob author probably got called on it.mg33
- on it.mg33
- And they're still not "wayfarer-like." they have a very different shape.mg33
- Oh, haha, I was just saying the real Wayfarers do have the two dots, just one on each side.monospaced
