Ooooh good point.  Let me restate:  They look lame when walking around
the mall (not that I do this), clothing stores (have you noticed the
people with earpieces have the worst clothing tastes), Blockbuster (just
saw one there 2 hours ago) and restaurants.  Bluetooth headsets only
look cool when driving a car, holding 2 kids and grocery shopping at the
same time, and when jogging and/or walking the dog.
