Just to share. I found this webpage a while back. Note the ad and the context. :)  [ Thursday, December 01, 2005 14:30: Message edited by: An error of type -13 occured ] -------------------- Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

One has to wonder why you're looking at articles on the self-esteem of people wearing glasses... :D -------------------- A Sucaran Child is standing here. You say, "hello" The small child looks at Preserver Aldous wide-eyed and awed. Posts: 269 | Registered: Friday, July 19 2002 07:00 |

That probably isn't a coincidence. These days, advertisements are targeted based on the content of the webpage they're placed on. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

That isn't ironic. It's just an unusual juxtaposition of elements. There's nothing in particular about Lasik which would make anyone reading the article any less likely to use it, or anything about the Oregonian which makes it less likely to advertise Lasik. The Lasik ad isn't even in small font. Posts: 794 | Registered: Tuesday, October 11 2005 07:00 |

The irony is the article on the self-esteem of those with glasses juxtaposed with an advertisement for getting rid of glasses. It might be funnier if we had the article. —Alorael, who has personally found people who have gotten Lasik entertaining. After years and years of fumbling around for glasses before opening eyes in the morning, a week or so post-op involve some very frantic and fruitless but also pointless searching.
