Default Eyelashes Are a Top Health Priority in America!?

FDA Approves Eyelash Thickening Drug; Because Thick Eyelashes Are a Top Health Priority in America.

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, December 29, 2008
Key concepts: Eyelashes, Latisse and FDA

The FDA has just approved a new drug for -- get this -- thickening your eyelashes! They even claim it treats a "disease." You might suspect the disease is called something like "Thin Eyelashes Disorder" but no, as usual they have a really technical sounding term for it: hypotrichosis which means, in Latin, "Thin Eyelashes Disorder."

"Hypo" means sub-par or under-performing.

"Tricho" means hair.

"sis" means a disease or disorder.

And thus, "hypotrichosis" just means thin eyelashes disorder. But it sounds really medicalized, doesn't it? Gee, if they use Latin, it must be a real disease, right? Just like osteoporosis (bones-with-holes-in-them disorder).

The drug (called "Latisse") is made by the same medical geniuses who brought us all Botox -- a drug made from deadly bacteria that are injected into your skin to paralyze your muscles into a state of wrinkle-free numbness. Is this really the best application of modern medical technology?

I'm just glad the FDA has its priorities straightened out. Let's see: We have drugs that stop wrinkles, drugs that reverse baldness, drugs that produce six-hour erections and probably even a drug that attacks bad breath that we haven't heard about yet. And now we can add to that list a new drug that treats thin eyelashes disorder.

Apparently, any biological feature or function that matters on a date gets top priority at the FDA. After all, if Americans had to date each other with thin eyelashes, bald heads, wrinkled faces and flaccid penises, nobody would ever reproduce and who, then, would the drug companies sell their next generation of drugs to?

Welcome to the world of chemically-enhanced dating, where you're never really sure if the person you're taking out on the town is really who they seem to be, or just a pharmaceuticalized augmentation of that person's secret cosmetic wish list.

There are so many sculptured people out there it won't be long before they all look exactly alike.
This continuing search for perfection just shows how vain these people are,they have all evolved into barbie and Ken dolls.
Sadly the kids are no better with more children under the age of 16 having facials, manicures, massages fashion guru's at there every whim and real life non existant.

And it's speading over here believe me!

More evidence to support the Grey's-are-us-in-the-future scenario. That must be the pathology they've come back to fix. Maybe now they'll take those stupid sunglasses off and look us in the eye.

Yeah it's like some force is trying to take individuality away from people-get everyone cloned and let it begin with 'fashion'-there's a big difference between style and fashion-anyone can be fashionable but to have style is a different one! lol.

Wouldn't it be great if it turned out that the reason for all the sneaking around wasn't that they have sinister plans, it was simply because they were incredibly shy and very sensitive about their eyelashes?

I'm gonna put that out into the ether every night now. I don't care if it makes first contact an anticlimax.
