This is Thriller

Posted to EULAs by Andy Sternberg

Thanks for all the submissions resulting from yesterday’s BoingBoing blast!

jacko thrilla yall halloweenerz 2k6I am hoping to gather as much as I can in the upcoming weeks as I begin taking it all BACK to the man for further review — do THEY even know what the EULAs say? At least their lawyers
will be happy to know someone’s reading them. I’ll do my best (within Cali. law) to gather what I can and bring it back, hopefully in soundbyte form.

That said — Happy Halloween. And thanks, anonymous sender:

URL of EULA: http://www.lasikathome.com/howitworks.htm

Product: LASIK@Home — Do it yourself in-home laser eye surgery.

Lowpoints: It’s not really an EULA, just some fine print at the bottom of the page, but it’s pretty funny:

*This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.

Anyway, it’s a funny bit if you’re looking to take a break from the standard draconian EULA fare.

Highpoints: That it’s a joke! The whole site is pretty clearly a joke–the Four Easy Steps are hysterical and the “Order Now” button doesn’t work.
