I wonder how deeply they need to insert the camera.

I have always received nice pictures of me with a unique point of view, as part of my Colonoscopy. As I remember, they were not free, but were included as part of the total service. Perhaps next time I will consider going to a Vision Center as a more economical alternative.

That explains it - the same ad agency works for this vision care store and a colonoscopy clinic, and got their copy mixed up.

So some poor sap going for colon cancer screening will be wondering why they are offering to check his retinas.

Well duh, unless there's an optometrist out there who doesn't know a retina from a rectum, which would be scary.

Would give new meaning to "poke you in the eye."
