Penelope Cruz Deceives the Public
Penelope Cruz has been found to be part of an elaborate ruse to pull the wool over the unsuspecting and sparsely-lashed eyes of public. According to the Daily Mail
L’Oréal has been condemned for producing “misleading” mascara adverts featuring Penelope Cruz. A sharp-eyed viewer suspected the actress was wearing false lashes [and] protested to the Advertising Standards Authority, who upheld her complaint. It found the TV commercial misleading and the magazine advert to be [inaccurate] and [untrue]. During the investigation, the French company admitted that the star had been wearing individual false lashes. The ASA has ordered L’Oréal to add a disclaimer to future adverts whenever models are shown wearing false lashes.
Find me an advertisement where a woman’s not wearing false eyelashes. Or hair extensions and cleavage-enhancing bra inserts. Or that’s not been digitally altered to widen and brighten the eyes, thin the arms, legs, and torso, and erase every pore, freckle, and wrinkle conceivable, and I’ll show you an advertisement for a local above-ground pool company shot in a basement with the owner’s stepdaughter in a bikini. That’s Watson’s!

Yeah, but Queen Latifah’s adverts aren’t false advertising. The commercial is basically telling you, “use our make-up, and you could get results like this”. Which is ostensibly true.
Penelope Cruz’s commercial is false advertising, because its saying “use our mascara and your eyelashes will look like this”, when, of course, her eyelashes look like that because she’s wearing false eyelashes, and not because their mascara is all that great.

LOL — I’m glad someone else out there knows what I’m talking about. It killed me that I couldn’t find any video footage of the actual commercials on the net. Believe me, I would have linked those instead.

“Ostensibly true” Ginger? Her make up makes you slender too? Hmmm
