Fuck you Acuvue

[certainthings]

There is a commercial for Acuvue contact lenses that fills me with a burning rage every time I see it.

There's a pretty, in a plain simple sort of way, blonde teenage girl and she's wearing glasses. She's standing in a school hallway. Her voice over says, "One day I'll have the guts to tell him hi." (or something like that)

AND THEN Narrator Voice Over says, "And that day is today." Then the commercial shows the girl getting contact lenses.

.... RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR.

In movies when they say/show that girl is unpretty because she has a ponytail and glasses it's silly and ridiculous. But to use it to sell your stupid ass contact lenses? That is rage inducing.

I honestly wonder if they are aware of what message they are sending. I'm sure that deep down they are aiming for a "confidence" message but they are failing. Hard.

Don't you know? Glasses automatically make you into some sort of twisted freak beast. If someone with glasses makes direct eye contact with you, you turn to stone.
