I didn't think this would upset anyone.

That was stupid.

That was smart and the right thing to do..............................

With all the money they are pouring into their publicity, they do not want any enemies among animal lovers, as there are many of them that use and need glasses.

so serious

I don't know. It just didn't do it for me. Just like the thing where they had the glossary of optical terminology. Plus, did they have to use the F word?

I really liked the picture of the rabbit with it's head locked in a pillory. I would have placed its little feet in there also to complete the picture, but it still suggests, to my mind, that WP's clients are the rabbits.

I'm not calling them "fake news". They quite literally make up stories as satire. Their stories are not real. How could you read any story there and not understand it is made up? WP obviously did not do any testing on animals, and did not apologize for it.

It makes as much sense as this story.

Viagra Announces Real Medicine That Gave Customers Erections Was Confidence All Along

NEW YORK—In a surprise announcement Tuesday, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer revealed that the blockbuster drug Viagra contained absolutely no active ingredients and that, all along, “the real medicine” that had been giving its users erections was confidence. “While many of our customers thought they were taking a PDE5 inhibitor to encourage blood flow to the penis, the truth is these pills were just placebos—
