Glasses Do Not Equal Smart
This is an unfair stereotype, and we want to see it end.
Both members of Superpunk (and therefore Superpunk as a whole) wear glasses, and neither of us are smart in the slightest, so stop asking us how to do things. Stop asking how to calculate a flight trajectorty, stop asking if we could run for class president, and stop asking us if we could calculate the tip. Just thrown down five bucks and let’s get out of here. We said we wanted Burger King anyways.
It doesn’t stop there; non-glasses wearers assume everyone wearing glasses is smart. Does Tina Fey need glasses? Not really. They’re on and off during “30 Rock.” But everyone considers Tina Fey to be smart because they’ve seen her wear glasses. We know for a fact that Tina Fey is not smart—one time she talked to a mailbox for 45 minutes before realizing it wasn’t a trash can. Then she cried and ran to the nearest building and ordered a Whopper.
It’s too much pressure to be considered smart when we’re really just kind of dumb and nearsighted. And hungry. So the next time we order at your counter, don’t assume we want the same value meal the college professors all get. We barely gradated. I want a BK Kids Club Meal, with cheese, and we want the “boy’s toy” because it’s Monster Jam monster trucks this month and we have all the Cabbage Patch Kids already.
