soapbox

So this past week I have ended up watching more non-sports TV than normal (i.e. greater than zero).  I accidentally stumbled on the season finales of both American Idol and CSI: Miami (separate posts) as well as five minutes of the finale of Dancing With The Stars (all I could handle), and local (LA and SD) news.

Regarding the last item, I mean no offense to anyone who stays well hydrated, but I was moderately amused when the 10 o’clock news started off with a tease “how drinking bottled water may be bad for your face!”  I could imagine millions of Beverly Hills soccer moms reacting in horror and being glued to their TV sets for the next half hour.

Apparently, they weren’t kidding… pursing your lips while drinking from a small-mouth bottle could eventually lead to “smokers’ lips,” with one doctor claiming that “drinking a lot of bottled water can actually be like smoking three packs of cigarettes a day.

Okay, how scientific is that?  “a lot of bottled water”?  hmm.
Finally, there was one quote from a starlet along the lines of “I’m not going to stop drinking my [fancy posh brand name bottled water], I’m just going to get my lips done.”  Good times.
