    It's obviously a joke, though I'm torn whether or not to buy one of the T-shirts. Mustn't encourage this sort of thing, yet it's so funny...

    It's gotta be a joke. Actually, the surgeon listed in the ad below (which has nothing to do with the joke) is a well respected NYC laser surgeon.

    You guys do realize those are contextual Google ads, right? They scan what the content of the page is and cross-reference it with your IP address, so you get localized advertisements that are relevant to the page.

    Actually, we have those miracle "cataract drops" by the makers of Similsan. What the heck...How did this get by the FDA?

    I don't think it got by the FDA, if you read the small print it is herbal drops and does not have FDA approval.

    Hilarious. It reminds me of the SNL faux commercials, in particular the 1970's car commercial parody that showed the smoothness of the car's ride by performing a circumcision in the backseat while driving on a bumpy road.
