Latisse?

I'm watching hulu.com and there is a commercial for a product to grow damn eyelashes!

Possible side effects include possible darkening of the eyelids (maybe reversible) and darkening of the iris(?)(not reversible).

No cure for cancer, AIDS or H1N1. There is widespread war and starvation. And yet, some "scientists" work out a way to grow longer, thicker eyelashes. Is this an internet joke I'm not in on?

There is also a product to remove the parentheses from your face. Those evil, treacherous wrinkles around the mouth.

Are we really this vain as a nation and as a species? If so, I want out. I wanna be a mutant or a throwback to my Neanderthal ancestors.

On the bright side, once the zombie apocalypse comes, the walking dead will look fabulous long after normal humans would have decomposed.

Please ignore this rant and never mention it again once real cybernetics become available and I am all metalled out.

yeah i was pretty shocked at the "grow thicker eyelashes" thing as well.

Girls, longer thicker eyelashes will not get you laid. Seriously

Judging from some of my friends, I don't think girls have a hard time getting laid ever.

I think I had read somewhere that the thicker eyelashes were a side effect of some medication that, in its test stage, didn't fix what it was initially developed for.

Yeah....I know.... My company sells it too.

I can admire that kind of make-lemonade from lemons kind of thinking, but what genius approved the testing and FDA certification? Is there a lab somewhere where the chimps have thick-luscious eyelashes?

And pseudo-TV advertising with a celebrity?

Adman1: Ok, how can we push this eyelash thing?
Adman2: How about Brooke Shields? She is well known for her big bushy eyelashes.
Adman1: I think you mean eyebrows...
Adman2: Eyebrows, eyelashes...who cares, just get her on set and film me a commercial. And don't forget to include a warning about interaction with anti-eyeball-bulging medication!

Yes, Latisse may interact with medication to treat excess eyeball pressure. Apparently, that is a big problem too. Sorry gals, you can't use our product to grow longer, thicker eyelashes to distract from your big, runny frog-eyes.

The whole thing sounds like it was written by the same people that wrote SNL's Happy-Fun Ball skit.

It's the Bag 'O Glass. Fun for the whole family!

What carnage could be wrought by someone with a Happy-Fun ball, a Bag 'O Glass and a Bass-o-matic?

Do not Taunt Happy Fun Ball, Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds
