Misleading Mascara Ads!

I am more annoyed than ever at mascara commercials. First of all, if aliens saw that most of our prime time commercials are for mascara, allergy meds and ween pills, they'd think we were a species of limp lashed, sneezing impotents. The mascara ads feature models wearing false eyelashes, sometimes two or three pair! If I were to wear all those eyelid awnings I wouldn't need mascara. Are we such lemmings that because LashyLash curls and lengthens twice as much we must run out and buy it? Yes! At least I am. And I know you can't get the same results using just mascara...but that nagging inner voice cries what if it's really good? Still, I am annoyed by the "false" advertising. Much like in the '80's, we were told "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't" but they never bothered to mention that if you felt like a nut you better also feel like milk chocolate, because Almond Joy was made with milk chocolate and Mounds were made with dark. So if you wanted dark chocolate, you damn well better not feel like a nut, and if you do, too damn bad.
So either spackle on the mascara so thick you can barely blink, or get yourself some falsies. Or do both. Guaranteed, you'll feel like a nut.

  1. Oh Nuts! So I guess the theory of once you go black you never go back but if you want nuts you better go with the lighter chocolate? LOL

    Too funny! by the way, those paste on false lashes were meant to fan the eyeballs in extreme heat.
