The Funny Or Die Team has just released another knee-slapper of a video. This time, the boys present a fake commercial that tries to sell a product that will make your eyelashes longer. The faux product, Lashisse, works well—so well, in fact, it has ladies with ridiculously long lashes raving about them to the camera.
The side effects of this miracle cosmetic product may be blindness and loss of an eye or two, but I’m sure it’s totally worth it.
