From: blp Category: Consumer Date: 19 May 2007 Time: 12:08 PM Review: Being cool is pathetically uncool. Rayban have now bought out both platforms of Old Street Station to bring us this message communicated as loudly and brashly as huge black and white posters can. Vast banal images of cool kids in Raybans rocking out, DJing, motorbiking, stage diving and base jumping from a skyscraper decisively and unambiguously bring it home to the herding Hoxton massives: you are clichés and your rebellious appearance is totally, impotently collusive with the system as it stands. Only the most vacantly switched off can have failed to get it. Presumably, that includes Rayban's nitwit marketeers themselves.
