Ad on TV - Funny-Strange or Funny-HaHa?

Today I saw an ad on TV for a prescription drug called Latisse. This drug is "for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, or hypotrichosis". SERIOUSLY???? It brushes on the lower lid along the base of the eyelashes, like clear nail polish. It may cause darkening of the lid and is not for anyone who takes drugs to reduce eye pressure. Alrighty then...

Now REALLY, who knew that this was a problem?? Korea has nuclear weapons, Osama bin Laden has sent us another message of love, the American auto industry is in the toilet and the economy sucks. Personally, I am in the midst of a divorce and am trying to unload a house in a state that is falling apart. The house is worth WAY less than we paid for it - lucky me - and so I am trying to find the best bridge to live under if I can find a nice clean refrigerator box. I live in fear that I could go from suburbia to street person at the drop of a gavel. But I digress...

We can not seem to cure cancer or prevent Alzheimer's disease, but we can perk up penises and grow eyelashes??? Seriously? So as the title of this article asks, is this funny-strange or funny-haha?? I shake my head...

Well Said. I'm just checking out your site for the first time. How Clever! Very funny and creative just like my last marriage. Hope to see more. Do you have a members page or a discussion area?

Great Article. I love your site and needed your sense of humor. I wish you had a discussion board because I need help with how to handle my divorce.

That is so funny because since I work nights I get the pleasure of watching these info ads and there is one for Extense - a pill to make your penis larger. A pill. Seriously. And the best line in the whole ad is the woman who says "if this didn't work, could we afford to do this commercial?" Of course the only reason you are doing this commercial is because your product works! It's on at hours when only insomniacs are awake or people are working and that gives me the utmost faith in your product! Not to mention...seriously...that's what people are worried about nowadays? Great site!
