Guardian goggles 'do the thinking so you don't have to'

The Guardian newspaper seems to have taken readers for an April Fools' Day ride with its advertisement for a new product called Guardian Goggles.

The pseudo-product builds on the idea of "augmented reality" whereby users can browse the Internet via a pair of glasses, and bears a passing resemblance to a real product being piloted by Google.

A promotional video on the newspaper's website says the glasses provide a "constant steam of specially-curated liberal and left-wing opinion".

Looking at fish in a fishmonger prompts comments about sustainability, for example, and the glasses even censor out the text in a copy of a rival newspaper the wearer happens to try reading.

The advertisement even features a celebrity endorsement from the Education Secretary Michale Gove.
