Fine Print = Fine Lashes

On a commercial for mascara that adds length and volume -

"Lash inserts were applied to this model's lashes to add lash count before applying LashBlast Fusion"

I expected better of Drew Barrymore....

More Fine Print

As I was looking for some oil to protect my new apple trees from bugs and disease, I found Ortho's new line of products with a nice green label "Ecosense Brand*." Since I was looking for something environmentally and family friendly, I picked it up to read the label and followed the astrisk at the end of the brand name.

"not intended to imply environmental safety either alone or compared to other products."

There should be a law against the blatant abuse of the prefix "eco." So I went for the organic stuff, since I know there are distinct guidelines they must follow and thus they can't try to bamboozle me with eco-names.

The finer print

My mom got me a little coin purse from Kenya and I'm so glad that it can hold all of my essentials.

 

In fairness to the wonderful designers of this purse, I think they included the last item to help raise awareness for AIDS prevention and challenge the social taboo on the topic.  But I still thought it was pretty funny.
