Google’s process for awarding pairs of Google Glass to everyday normal folk (who happen to have $1,500 to spare) may not have experienced the most thorough of vetting processes, per tweets highlighted by Slate and Gizmodo writer Sam Biddle. At least one entry proposed using Google Glass to “cut a bitch,” and that contestant was initially contacted by Google’s official Glass Twitter account as eligible for a Google Glass purchase.
Google started a Twitter contest back in February to award the chance to own an Explorer edition of Google Glass. The company invited people to explain their innovative uses for the Android headwear and attach the hashtag #ifihadglass.
The contest attracted plenty of worthy entries, though some were less than savory. At least one Twitter user, @Nikki__Graziano, was awarded the opportunity to purchase Glass for her proposal to “cut a bitch.” Several more facetious tweets rounded up by New York Magazine were selected as well. According to Slate, Google could not explain the rationale for selecting Graziano’s proposal except to say that an independent panel, not Google employees, chose the 8,000 contest winners.
