ARTICLE OF THE DAY - IDIOTS BE ADVISED

Holy crap, you just can't make this up!
German drugmaker Schering warned consumers on Thursday not to use hemorrhoid cream on their faces. The warning came after a male stylist said on Norwegian television that many photo models used the cream in the morning to get rid of puffy eyes, which the drug company said seemed to have boosted demand for such products at pharmacies. Beauty magazines in the U.S. have been advising the same for years. “This is a pharmaceutical and not a cosmetic,” the group’s Norwegian subsidiary Schering Norge AS said in a statement, warning especially to keep hemorrhoid cream out of the eyes. It said the warning applied to its product, Scheringproct, which it said was “a pharmaceutical that is used on hemorrhoids and around the opening of the large intestine”.

Who are these idiots out there who puts hemorrhoid cream on their face?!! Morons of this calibre do not deserve warnings.

now, now, judgemental jimmy. i have lots of friends, who, after staying up all night with their children, don't like looking like complete hell the next day if they can help it, and have used it and say it works great.

i'm not saying i want to use bum cream on my eyes, but i don't have children yet either. i might feel differently if my gut and boobers and bum was all gooey after childbirth and i could at least make my face look nice with a little bum cream. i've heard of worse things.

Of course they're putting butt cream on their faces - they're butt-heads.

Models have done it for a long long time. I BET they have two tubes, one generic brand for their bums and one name brand for their faces.

(I mean - honestly, who would want feces on their faces?!?!)

OH!!! He was lookin at one in the mirror every morning!!! So this is appropriate for some folks!!!!!

Truth be told. I tried this remedy one morning after a late night of drinking. Within an hour I looked bright eyed and bushy tailed. However, this was a deal with the devil, because 2 days later I developed a nasty stye on my eye. Thereby making me look worse than ever. Who knew shark liver oil would cause a zit on your eye?!!

Duh...

Sincerely,
Idiot McMoron
