So I think its official: American women have become obsessed with vibration. Or rather corporations are obsessed with producing and marketing anything that vibrates without calling it a vibrator... to women. It used to be just massagers (which come on, really are only used to massage one place) and Sonicare toothbrushes (hopefully not being used in that place); but now we've got vibrating razors, vibrating face scrubbers, even vibrating mascara! And just yesterday I saw an ad for a vibrating face make-up applicator. Really? I can't really imagine that vibration really significantly increases make-up application or appearance. And does it really improve complexion or encourage smoother legs?
While I find it completely ridiculous, I have to give it to them; they may have stumbled upon something revolutionary. Clearly women must be eating this up. Marketing experts have found a way to play (and capitalize) on the one thing that consistently gives us that fun sense of euphoria (sorry guys, even the best of you can't match that every single time) and the public has completely accepted it.
Oh advertising, how I love to hate you....
