I Had A Thought...

I was watching television and saw this commercial about this product for women that was advertised as the end of conventional hair removal. As I watched, I began to think about all of the crazy things that go on around me that simply crack me up. Now, this is not to say that I don't think critically about those very same things, but I try to address them in the spirit in which they were presented. I love a good debate because I feel that you should be able to defend your position, but sometimes laughter can be the greatest answer.

Anyway, as I wrote of earlier, this commercial first had me thinking, "Hey, that's pretty cool. Painless hair removal by rubbing a pad of crystals over armpits, legs, and around the bikini line leaving the area smooth and soft because the pad will also exfoliate. They even make one for those unwanted mustaches."

But then I stopped and realized that what they were talking about was SANDPAPER with a pretty pink handle. Painless? I THINK NOT! Have you every rubbed sandpaper on your skin? It does not exfoliate, it SCRATCHES. You won't be smooth, you'll be that ashy white, you know, that "I've been walking in flour" white. Or worse, you can scratch yourself to the point where you buff away a layer or two, that's when you know that you've gone too far.

Now in the commercial, they kept showing all of these different women smiling while they were using the product. I thought, " They are not smiling, they are gritting their teeth and making that sucking air sound while they rip the hair off of their bodies." They also had a women working on her bikini line and a man removing his chest hair, but they didn't show there faces. That's because they were BOTH screaming like a banshee.

Now, the possibility that I could be wrong about my assessment of the product. I would to hear any comments you may wish to venture. More to come.
