Fuck you Acuvue

certainthingsThere 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.
