I'm not sure what to make of the sentence at the top of the ad.

Sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it.

It seems like the sentence is supposed to be a clever wink, which makes me wonder whether the lenticular photo effect is meant for secret communication or for a discussion-provoking gimmick.

I was also unable to switch until I forced myself to go cold turkey. Putting this into your vimrc will disable the arrow keys

  noremap <up> <nop>
  noremap <down> <nop>
  noremap <left> <nop>
  noremap <right> <nop>
  inoremap <up> <nop>
  inoremap <down> <nop>
  inoremap <left> <nop>
  inoremap <right> <nop>

It's extremely painful for the first day or two, but it's worth it. (Starting on a weekend might be a good idea.)
