Broken: Association of International Glaucoma Societies website
Barbara Young writes:
I came upon the web site of the Association of International Glaucoma Societies and had to share it. I thought it was a spoof at first, but it isn't.
Check out the bobbing heads at the upper left, the flying-in heading, the spinning globe in the middle, and the staring eyeball that appears if you scroll down to the bottom of the left-side menu, and the fact that you can't get back to the home page if you leave it without using the Back button. Oh, and there seems to be no actual information about glaucoma on the site.
Another funny feature in this site is the "Glaucoma Hymn" , which is on the lower right corner of the site I dare anyone to download the "hymn" and listen to it all the way through. Here is an excerpt:
Glaucoma, Glaucoma, Glaucoma
Constricting vision slowly
Halted by progress of science
Vision of a world united
Beyond all science knowing
What? It seems as if this is supposed to be a legitimate site. There is little information, but it is poorly organized. I would really like to know whose heads those are moving in the corner.
Also, the globe animation is MUCH to much movement.
I do, however, advise everyone to listen to the audio file of the Glaucoma Hymn. What could Erik and Melanie Greve have been thinking? Absolutely ridiculous and a good laugh.
!First!
I think this website is designed to GIVE you glaucoma or other eye diseases. The spinning globe looked blurry to me (Oh no! Could I have GLAUCOMA!?!?). And the hymn, sweet corneas, the hymn. It made me want to pluck my eyes out and stuff them in my ears to stop the horror.
Funniest, most horrible site EVER.

No site like this is complete without the errant apostrophe, so it includes "Photo's" at the bottom of the left menu.
I love the bobbing heads, although I keep thinking if I click on the correct one, I'm going to win a free iPod....
And the Glaucoma hymn is going to become one of my favorites, I'm sure. Yes, I listened to the whole thing.
WAIT. This is what the web was like in 1992. You have discovered a breach in the space-time continuums!
Just three words: Oh My God.
I also listened to the hymn in its entirety. Sounds like someone got themselves a DX7 keyboard, huh?
is there really anything i can say?
against my better judgement, i listened to the whole hymn. i wonder if you can lose brain cells from hearing terrible... i can't even call it music. my brother wanted to know why i was writhing on the floor. i was in too much pain to answer him. this is one of the funniest websites i've seen in a while. heh.
