The current world record holder wears them and so does a newbie who won his first marathon.

Go To Pakistan The Show starts with a Prime Time Debate on a news channel where the Commander of an elite special force(CIPD) tells a panellist to go to Pakistan for his  Anti-Development and pro-Adivasi views.  As it later turns out in the show, the commander is in cahoots with the developer of the project and has been receiving bribes for evicting tribals from their lands.
