—>We at Consumerist really hate mandatory binding arbitration, the faux-legal sucker punch that companies deliver when they screw up and you try to sue, and so should you. We've talked about its evils a lot, but no one can describe this legal abomination as well as the victims themselves, so this week we'll let them speak. More »
—>Our beloved fatherteacher Ben Popken seems just fine with his newly lasered eyes, but not everyone sees such great results, says Reuters: "Blurred vision, dry eyes, glare and double-vision have led to depression and in some cases suicide, several patients told a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel."

I believe I have settled on one that was suggested by several of the readers, Dr. Koplin with Laserone. His name was mentioned by several of the readers.

No really, I want to get laser eye surgery, any suggestions for doctors in New York City? So far the only lead I have to go on are the fine doctors associated with the New York Eye and Ear Hospital, reputed to be a great place with great doctors.

I can afford that but it seems a smidge high. More »

—> Why not permanently alter your face? People on TV do it all the time. Besides, you're a grown up, you can do whatever you want! If you're in the market for a chin tuck, an eyebrow scoot, or a face-pulling-back thing—hey, we're not the experts here—but you don't have a lot of disposable vanity cash, then head down to Argentina, which is filled with "reputable doctors who are highly skilled due to a local rage for cosmetic surgery" and where common procedures can cost a third of what they cost in the U.S. Plus, you get airlines miles.
