Beauty Mask Video

I have no idea who thought this was a good idea for a product and who in the marketing department thought this video would work to sell it. Oddly enough it makes me think of this as a Michael Myers tribute video. WTF?!

    How many times can the woman in the purple shirt put on/adjust that mask?
    Creepier would have been seeing the whole family with masks, including kid sized ones.

    are "creepy" and "disturbing" synonyms? where is Hanibal Lecter when you really need him?

    I particularly liked the over the shoulder shots with the mirror in the background. It gave it a real artistic flare.

    I can't wait to walk into the den and see my girlfriend sitting on the coach and wearing a Rejuvenique mask.

    Wow, 14 comments in and not one mention of V for Vendetta? The power cord even hooks into a little goatee.

    I'm male, so I'm not necessarily expected to understand women's beauty rituals, but this strikes me as something even the most masochistic, self-hating, bad self-image-suffering woman wouldn't do for long.

    How fast did this company go out of business?

    Checked out the site of the guy who made this via his YouTube link btw. It's a pretty neat blog and too bad he didn't get a little more traffic rather than linking it via BoingBoing who horked it from Mt. Holly Mayor's Office via some guy on Metafilter etc...

    What a cool video. I almost can't believe it's a real product. Has to be how Darth Vader started out.
