I really wish this was a joke, some sort of April Fools, but sadly this little diddy is true. I never knew that stubby lashes was such a serious medical condition, a truely debilitating state that warrants millions of dollars in research and time for the FDA to test and approve the drug.

Now granted it was born from something useful, a glaucoma drug, but really it only has one acceptable application. It can be used to help regrow eyelashes for those undergoing chemotherapy. However I can foresee gross misuse of this drug for vanity's sake turning stubby eyelashes into a multimillion dollar business opportunity all because one corporation brought to light a "flaw" that is not really a flaw.

If I was a doctor and a normal, healthy person came into my office asking for this drug I would laugh them out of my office. This is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

So the question begs to be asked, where is the end? When does this ridiculous behavior stop?
