Oh, the humanity.
A mellifluous co-worker just called my attention to the ad copy below and above.
There are many things that make me question the sanity of our species. Our evisceration of the environment. The way we periodically dabble in genocide. Ethnic and religious slaughter. Republicans.

"Introducing the First Vibrating Power-Mascara by Lancome."
"New Oscillation. Vibrating. Infinite. Power-Mascara."
"Revolution: Vibrating power. For ultimate lash transformation.
Extends. Separates. Virtually multiplies."
