Blu Blockers

by Laurie Henzel

All of this Snuggie talk reminds me of one of the greatest commercial response raps ever, the one here for BluBlockers. If you spent any time in the 80’s watching late night TV, you’ll probably remember BluBlockers, they were really big unisex sunglasses that were supposed to block out the sun in some miraculous way, sadly I do not own a pair. They really should bring them back, I think they would do very well with the williamsburg crowd. Anyway this dude MC Dr. Geek apparently freestyled a rap about his love for BBs and received at least 15 minutes of fame. Sadly I couldn’t find the original commercial, but thopefully someone out there has some dead stock of the BluBlockers and will send me a pair. (this video was for the later, smaller 90’s version-the viper, and definitely inferior to the original.)
