Christina Aguilera's New Fragrance Isn't A Joke

I find it increasingly difficult to distinguish between real products and product parodies these days. For instance, I keep getting promotional emails from a woman named Jessica Goon. Ms. Goon wants me to promote a line of pubic hair dye called "Betty" on my blog, and perhaps mention the clever stencils available for transforming "the hair down there" into a charming topiary of peace signs and lightening bolts. It took me several moments to realize that this woman named Goon was serious and that the products really existed. There ya go Jessica, I mentioned it on my blog. I digress...

When I saw the promotional website for Christina Aguilera's new fragrance Inspire, I figured it was a Mad Magazine parody. Inspire?? The perfect cheesy name for a celebrity fragrance. I noticed the photoshopped imagery and silly concept of the perfume bottle enclosed inside ethereal bubbles of pink froth. Ha, good one. After reading the product description, I had a nice hearty chuckle over how Engrish-like it came across - The fragrance will remind you not to drift along with the crowd, but will inspire you to stand up for what you believe in and strive for your dreams. Duped again, it soon became clear that Inspire is the real deal. Frustrated, I made my own parody. Medium: Classy photo of Christina found on google, photoshop, digital paint.

Ya know, I've read perfume copy for actual products that was more nonsensical than your masterpiece for "Perspire". Bravo!

God she's ugly. That pointy nose, those short bowed monkey legs. The small round beady close-set eyes. *vomit*

Pubic hair dye? I thought nobody under the age of 25 or so had pubic hair any more... ?

I love your Engrish write-up of the product. It made me laugh my ass off. "Smell the smell of the smelly smell with no follow of the crowd." AAAAaaahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!

Yeah, I have seen the "Betty" stuff before. It is real. Celebrity fragrances suck. I remember this Christina. The one who blew Fred Durst first according to Eminem and all his travails.

She's so demure and classy. You've captured her inner skank so beautifully!

Gee 14,
Maybe you can hook Xtina up with Jessica! Imagine how classy THAT would be!

[Chansmom]

Oh, my! What will they come up with next?

Excellent as usual, 14!
