implanted eye jewelry...

[ElsewheresDaughter]

Deborah Boer models the 'Jewel Eye' Driebergen, the Netherlands April 7, 2004. The 'Jewel Eye' piece is latest trend in body fashion and is implanted underneath of the cornea of the eye

1. Maybe I'm getting old, but

this is the stupidest and most unattractive thing I've ever seen. I thought nose / eyebrow jewelry was absurd, but it's almost starting to look sensible compared to this.

2. That's just not right!

Makes me cringe just looking at it.

3. ***BARF***

4. Really farkin' stupid....

So, after you get an infection and lose ONE eye, I suppose you'd have it done to the remaining eye?

Take Enzyte. it's safer.

5. Fad idiocy (not to mention perils to health) knows no bounds. n/t

6. My son has a progressive disease of the cornea

I can't imagine how this wouldn't cause damage to the cornea.....

9. Best reason yet to keep marijuana illegal.....

Those whacky drug-crazed Netherlanders!

I think that it speaks volumes that even the person that they got to model this, presumeably a professional model whose job it is to look fantastic, is clearly having severe eye irritation - look at the blood vessels in her eye! Mine look better than that the morning after 12 pints of Guinness and a vindaloo!

11. probably not a professional model

Models need to be able to do a lot of different looks. Piercing can be taken out. If they have tattoos (and many don't) they are small and easily hidden. This is cannot be removed and a model would likely loose work because of it, if potential employers react like other people on this thread. (Even if they don't mind the "eye jewel" the bloodshot eyes would be a turnoff)

Model or not, either way, it's still a dumb idea.

10. It's been a real tough question for me.

Should I buy that 21" Plasma Monitor I want or get a piece of steel JAMMED IN MY EYE!

13. Insane... that's got to cause damage... this stuff,

unlike homosexuality, really is unnatural.


Nice banner, but isn't "Con-Artist Rice" a little more amusing? :D

14. Ugh, that's my "Room 101".

Anything to do with eye surgery or having my eyes touched. I can't even wear contacts because it creeps me out so much!

[Van Helsing]

15. OUCH!!!

Why would anyone wanna do that????
