London eye contact lens
a better view

each pod on the london eye should be fitted with concave lenses on each side to give tourists a zoomed view of london.

For a limited time only and perhaps sponsored by Johnsons&Johnsons giant contact lens brand; Acuvue

(inspired by Ian Tindale's; The London other eye - linked)

Annotation:







       Allow the lenses' focal length and direction to be adjustable. Then, presumably at the right time of year and with cloud permitting, this could also be used to incinerate some less desirable landmarks? Bun if it can...

       When the sun came in at a particular angle, and passed through the lens, whom ever inside the pod who was in the path of the focused ray would sizzle away and disappear in a puff of smoke... Eye-Fry with my little Eye - I'm sorry but it had to be said.

       On a sunny day, all the visitors would be toast!

       They wouldn't be toast if the lenses were on only two sides and tyhe other two sides were open, perhaps with fans to compensate for the additional heat. Also, liberal doses of SPF 45 would go a long way for helping. And if I'm wrong, it'll help with global overpopulation anyway. Either way, a good idea. Big bun for you.
