Googly eye glasses wearers world record smashed

Children at a youth centre have set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing googly eye glasses.



More than 300 people donned the glasses, cheered, danced and filled up a playground in south Los Angeles.

Jonathan Glatt, chief executive office of the company which sponsored the event said: "The idea of the googly eyes comes from more or less, 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit,' when Christopher Lloyd was wearing googly eyes and they fell out of his head.

"So, I was watching the movie, thought it would be a really good idea, and that's what the Guinness Book of World Records deemed to be a great idea." The last Guinness World Record set of people wearing costume eyewear was in 2009, when 4,436 people wore Groucho Marx spectacles in Chicago.
