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.

Additionally, it kind of makes me sad when certain actors/celebs decide to get correct surgery just because they don't want to wear glasses anymore... because they looked really good with them.

NO, asthma isn't just something "nerds/losers" have that can be done away with once you get "cool." It kinda sticks around regardless of who you hang out with/how hot you are. It's a medical condition, assholes.

BAD ACUVUE!
(I can't bad mouth them too much, it's what I wear!)
I choose to wear contacts instead of glasses b/c I hate my frames and I'm too cheap to buy new ones. I'm hoping to get new ones soon (which you know) and then I shall wear them more. (But not on sunny days, cause I need sunglasses!)
