A special type of eyewear can now be used when looking at gorillas. Apparently, in the gorilla kingdom, it is considered a hostile act to merely make eye contact. And even though we are a different sort of primate, gorillas interpret a human making direct eye contact the same way they would interpret another gorilla making the same affront. After a lady in Amsterdam was attacked by a gorilla for making eye contact, an advertising company came up with the idea of creating special eyewear which makes it appear as though you are looking away from the gorilla, while you may safely look directly at them. Fakery. Clever, clever fakery.
