Just imagine never again having to see anything you don’t want to! With our top-of-the-line Parietal Lobe Augmenting Implant (PLAI), all of your senses are covered. Look in the mirror and see the square-jawed, fully-haired, or flawlessly-complexioned face and body you desire. Make your partner the supermodel you wish you could land—change their appearance daily, if you like. Don’t want to see ugly people, or poor people, or overly pierced people, or people holding hands with someone they shouldn’t be allowed to hold hands with? Just set your parameters and perceive only what you choose. You’ll never be offended again.
