I can't decide if this is godawful tacky or absolutely brilliant:
A Chinese company is creating some buzz online for naming its sunglasses line for Helen Keller, the deaf and blind American woman who became an advocate for people with disabilities.
In a commercial for the eyewear, a stylish woman steps off a plane and walks past a long line of waiting photographers. They initially do nothing, but when she puts on the Helen Keller glasses they feverishly begin to take her picture.
The line's slogan? "You see the world, the world sees you."
Next, how about a Christopher Reeve running shoe? A Princess Di camera? A Joe Biden encyclopedia? Oh, I know the one you're thinking of, so don't even say it. The Leo Morris guide to humor.

Don't forget a Monica Lewinsky line of dresses.
I dunno, RAG. Men don't make passes at girls who wear blue dresses.
On the other hand, a lot of guys figure that between the way he looks and the way she sees, a hot babe who is blind as a bat is a perfect match.
I'll be selling the Helen Keller waffle iron. (Don't pretend you don't know the joke.)
