Ugly or not? Tempered glass deck railings

We honestly can’t decide on whether or not these tempered glass deck railings are ugly or not.  On one hand, it can give you an unobstructed view beyond your wooden backyard perch, but on the other it reminds us of a McDonald’s playpen.  Their ability to block wind, as Charles & Hudson notes, might push us over the edge into really liking this concept.  What do you think?
