Bad Copy of the Day Award

Both of these descriptions are about LASIK, and qualify as perhaps the most squirm-inducing copy to ever win the BCD award.

"The laser focuses and refocuses on your eye 4000 times per second. Remember the Gulf War when we watched a missile fly down a chimney? The laser uses the very same technology to most precisely focus the treatment on your cornea."

"The Ladar Vision 4000 uses a flying spot technique. In each treatment spot there is a little plume of smoke if you would, technically, Argon Fluoride Gas. This little puff of smoke can interfere with the next treatment spot."

We're declaring war on myopia, people.
