Semi Adult

I saw a commercial the other day for some sort of eyelash medication that I was convinced was a SNL spoof but after some research I just found out that like the Nationwide commercial with the blind guy that Aldous loves, this one is also real. Brooke Shields, who is simultaneously pimping Colgate toothpaste and VW cars, is also selling her soul for eyelash lengthening medication. I’m really curious about who goes to their doctor and says, “I have a serious problem, my eyelashes are too short, I need medication.” Now don’t get me wrong, I get using makeup and doing things to help yourself look better but I think it’s the serious tone of the commercial that blows my mind. She acts like she’s been living with this deep dark secret and now she’s coming out of the closet to reveal that she too suffers from the devastation of short eyelashes. Its almost as ridiculous as how every celebrity does Proactiv commercials and shows pictures of that one zit they once had.
