    "Take Up To 6 Months To Pay With No Interest"

    huh?!?!?

    Well it's an invitation to take them up on a 6 months same as cash financing plan!!! OMG I've never heard of such a thing for GLASSES!

    Oh yeah, the fine (very fine) print:

    Restrictions apply. Subject to credit approval. See store for details. Not available in some Tennessee and Virginia locations.

    Credit issuer is GE Capital Consumer Card Co of Ohio. You must buy two pairs of glasses for 6 months same as cash. Otherwise you only get 90 days on all other purchases.

    APR is 22.48% and goes to 24.75% if payment is more than 30 days late.

    Oh yeah, they included a couple of $50 off coupons to "sweeten" the pot...
