(Mods, please move or edit as you see fit)
I used to see a way to contact the board powers (Julio, Boswell), but can't find that option today.
But, if you can do something as to the choice of ads on the top of the SB Nation page, get rid of the 'vision improvement' log-winded presentation, being an ad for vitamin supplements.
It is incredibly false and misleading, implying that vitamins will help one get rid of glasses, which are harming your vision.
Total BS, and I can't count the number of fallacies and errors of logic.
When they mentioned the special use of Bilberry, I had to stop the presentation, mainly because that is total, WWII British propaganda, designed to confuse the Germans, and make them think that the British had better night vision than ordinary humans. They didn't want the Axis to suspect they had a better night bombing radar system, so they talked about how all the RAF bombardiers ate bilberry jam for breakfast, in order to have better night vision. Totally made up. It has never been proven to have any effect on vision.
Please drop this ad, as it is an insult to physicians in general, and ophthalmologists in particular. Plus, it is just plain wrong.
