This is the situation that <a href=\"http:\/\/bgr.com\/tag\/google\">Google<\/a> now faces with its <a href=\"http:\/\/bgr.com\/tag\/google-glass\">Google Glass<\/a> headset after Saturday Night Live cast member\u00a0Fred Armisen skewered Google&#8217;s new device on a Weekend Update segment. In the skit, Armisen struggled to get Glass to implement a Wi-Fi password and he jerked his head around awkwardly while sifting\u00a0through assorted menus before getting busted for watching porn on Glass in public. The skit&#8217;s depiction of Glass users as hapless dorks is not a flattering one and is likely something that Google will have to work very hard to combat if it <a href=\"http:\/\/bgr.com\/2013\/05\/03\/google-glass-praise\/\">doesn&#8217;t want Glass to become the next Segway<\/a>.
