If you did not hear, the solar eclipse is happening on Monday afternoon around 2:00 pm our time. It only happens every 99 years in society, so, it’s pretty cool that it is happening this summer. The last one happened in 1979, therefore, it’s not a once-in-lifetime thing, but it’s a pretty big deal. As you know, you can’t look directly into the eclipse, or you’ll burn your eyes. UWM tried to capitalize on it by giving away free protection around the area. That did not work at all. Apparently, these shades are bunk.

So this isn’t good. UWM handed out 500 of these all over Wisconsin. It’s very likely that many people are rocking these shades on Monday even though the statement came out not to use these. Imagine being the person who had to break this news. It could not have been fun. Unless UWM has its own Gerry Gingrich, and it’s a classic Gerry move all over again. Someone in the UWM offices will not be having a solid sleep until the eclipse is over with.

If you do have these shades, it’d be best to get rid of them. I cannot wait to read about the first dumbass who looks directly into the sun and ruins his fucking eyes (We all know it’s going to be a teenage dude).
