OMG who are those Pythonesque heads up in the corner?

They're even funnier if you set it to play Elvis.

I wish it were Elvis singing the hymn though.

No matter how much Melanie Greve made for that, it wasn't enough. Brilliant!

Woah... There's a creepy, nearly invisible blue eye in the bottom left that blinks when you mouse over!

Lower righthand corner? Anybody?

Cross section of an eyeball, perhaps?

Ack! I can't see anything! I've been haXX0red by the devil-weed smoking Glaucoma freaks!

Oh, wait. *clicks 'allow flash from this site' option*

It's a miracle! I CAN SEE! And unfortunately, I can also hear! Ack! What the shit is this tinned death sucking away my essential vital essences!? DESTROY! DESTROY!!

Some wild scenes at the Glaucoma Ball. [Both slightly NSFW]

This belongs in the "Institutional Anthems from Hell" Hall of Fame, right next to "We Built This Starbucks" and the KPMG song.

No. No. This HAS to be a joke.

The bobbing heads? The blinking invisible eye? These riveting lyrics to the f'ing Glaucoma Hymn?!:

Glaucoma, Glaucoma, Glaucoma
Constricting vision slowly
Halted by progress of science
Vision of a world united
Beyond all science knowing

Holy. F'ing. Crap.

Wow, this is amazing. Do you think you have to know anything about Glaucoma to attend the conference?

Holy medicinal marijuana, Batman. Obviously, the one treatment everyone agrees works a bit has caught on big in the Glaucoma-conscious community. Doctor, my eyes, can you tell me what is wrong?

Apologies for not noticing machaus beat me to the joke. My eyes were playing tricks on me after viewing that damn site.

Hey... who put this on my iPod?!? ... And ranked it five stars?!? ...

Hm. Song's pretty cool, actually. Grey Havens here I come...! Uh. Um. [Now visiting the site...] Well, hm, the heads are... soothing, entertaining. I find myself fixated on them. Oh! And now the eye. The EYE. I... I think I see, now, what I must do.

But what did I do with my Myst DVD?

I'm serious.

Well, that's a new strategy. You don't have to worry about your glaucoma after your eyeballs flee your skull. Pity about the collateral damage to the ears, though.

I've been looking at these photos (some are NSFW) while listening to embedded audio Ode to Joy. It's like if Peter Greenaway made a slapstick comedy.

Do these three runway models look like they're all about to collide with eachother? And is the guy on the far right missing the entire show?

Furthermore, is it a sin to make fun of people who don't see as well as I do?
posted by gordie at 9:27 PM on March 13, 2006


I absolutely do not get even a single piece of this. This can't be real. It just can't.

My eye doctor has tested me for glaucoma about 20 times in the last 2 years. He keeps shaking his head and saying I'm "borderline". I've had my eyeball air-blasted, pen pressed, orange dyed, blue lighted, and laser mapped more than any person should have to. Maybe I need to flunk a couple.

What the hell are these people smoking anyway?

Oh. Right.

I checked WHOIS and found the domain is registered to SPB Academic Publishing in the Netherlands. I guess whoever came back last from the trip to the coffeeshop had to design the site. Awesome.

First of all.. wow, just fucking wow.

Perhaps this is an indicator (from the "Code of Practice" menu link), as some others have stated more forthrightly, marijuana may be a factor?

"5.1 Where a member wishes to initiate a study in relation to medicinal products or devices he will first need to be aware that this is likely to be at his own risk. This would be particularly important where the product concerned is not authorised or where an authorised product is being tested for an ‘off label’ use. Accordingly it should be confirmed that the question of insurance has been addressed. Requests for products from Industry for non-sponsored studies will normally only be fulfilled on the basis that the member acknowledges the foregoing issues."
