I actually honestly know one of these folks in real life.

Funny, whenever i see the hipster kids wanting to bring back the 80's, THIS is what i'm thinking about. It wasn't all Duran Duran fabulous. Lots of the awful glasses. And the hair, oh, the terrible terrible hair.

Looks like Ralphie shot his eye out.

Okay, you know what? fark you. Kid lost an eye, probably not his fault, and he doesn't need internet cockbags making fun of him.

I would like to thank you for not linking my photo in the comments and mocking me even more than a few sites have been doing.

I was told my picture was featured on this page by a friend and had to look. Too bad this story wasn't attached to my photo.

While I'm all for making fun of my disability at times I've seen some nasty comments on various web pages. I was born with a congenital cataract which left me blind in my right eye, after many many surgeries, I eventually lost my right eye due to a second retinal detachment in 1990 at age 18. Imagine having a needle stuck in your eyeball without numbing drops by a doctor who was supposed to know what he was doing & you trusted him.

I now have a fake right eye because of him.

I was not happy with the picture winding up on other sites with it being named CROSSEYE.jpg and this caption "Do the crossed eyes distract from the braces? Or vice versa?"

Please remember, these are pictures of real people who are possibly on the internet (as I am) and can use google to find the photos and see all comments.

Why this bothers me so much ... I worked for an employer in 2010 who had an employee (my direct coworker) who attacked my disability/deformity calling me disgusting and that she couldn't look at me in the face if I came to work with the deformed eye. I was eventually laid off from the job 6 months after I reported her comments. My working conditions were hell during that time because I made the complaint. 20 years it took me to try to deal with the loss and ugliness of the eye. Those comments (there were many made to me in the duration of two days) set my self esteem back to the first day of the loss.

After that incident, I cannot handle any attack about the appearance of my eye as I hate looking at it.

Sorry to whine and you think I cannot take a joke, but this joke went too far for me after what happened at my workplace. The life with my eye has been hell since I was born.

I guess after this post, I should be ready for the flames now.

ned3000: Overall, kind of a lame compilation. It seemed like about half were just what normal kids looked like in the 70s/80s

THIS

This kind of reminds me of what everybody looks like when you're on acid. Maybe if you met her while tripping she would be the only person to look normal?

Overall, kind of a lame compilation. It seemed like about half were just what normal kids looked like in the 70s/80s.

Observed: 2 white kids with afros wearing the identical "Superfly" shirt.

Postulated: Statistically speaking, someone whose photo appears in this article has got to be a Farker.

Michael Phelps?

some were FAIL, some were sad, others were FULL OF WIN.

That dude looks like Cameron Diaz.

Holy shiat!

Now with functioning image and link goodness.

pounddawg: Geez. It's like some of you didn't grow up in the 70's or 80's.

As I was scrolling through the pics I swear I was saying to myself "don't show my senior photo, don't show my senior photo".

Class of '79

I swear I knew a few of those dudes.

Incredibly gratified that my picture wasn't in that list. My comb-over was so powerful in high school that it looked I parted my hair with a router. Class of '94, whoot!

Forgot how stupid we really looked in the 70's

/Class of 77

That made me reevaluate my views on global warming and climate change. I no longer think it's a result of coal, cars, etc. It is completely down to CFCs from hairspray.

Geez. It's like some of you didn't grow up in the 70's or 80's.

It's like the Smoking Gun for life.

/Had a stupid yearbook photo

oh come on, some of these people are clearly badass and rockin their style

Its fake, but always a classic:

This is the guy whose older brother would buy beer for you.
