Do you think the model has really bad dental habits, or is that row of silver filling in the back of this mouth the new compliment to piercings?

I think the sunglasses also have little forks in them that dig into your eyes, and that's why the guy is looking like the cover from that Scorpions album.

There's absurdly little storage space, though. I mean, considering that they're sunglasses, it's probably a decent amount of space, but considering they're an mp3 player, it's not.

The storage is typical of sporty MP3 players, targeted mainly at runners and such. Get off your ass, w-lfs-n.

Frolic, I was wondering about that too. I think it's about fashion. His teeth look fine otherwise, right?

Not everyone with lots of fillings has bad dental habits; some of us just have crappy teeth :P

The rest of the look, I won't bother to defend. Tats, glasses, and shaved heads are all very well, but the photo is ridiculous.

Those look more like crowns or implants to me - maybe he lost some teeth in an accident or a fight. Or he just grew up somewhere without fluoridation. Given Oakley's target audience, he might even be a well-known motocross rider or some such, and we just have no clue.

I don't think it's fashion, because fashion would produce a metal incisor, not a metal molar.

The accident theory would also support the profile shot.

LarryB, have a cookie. It's Mike Metzger, a well-known motocross rider. Nicely done.
