Woman sues because anti-aging cosmetics didn't cause her to become younger

A San Diego woman has filed a lawsuit against Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Estee Lauder for selling anti-aging creams that allegedly employ false advertising.

Debra Scheufler says she wants to make advertisers tell the truth about "age-defying" creams that don't live up to their claims. She filed a class action lawsuit in California.

"These products that tout themselves as anti-aging products really target women of my era and kind of suck us into the belief that the clock can actually be turned back, when in fact, it cannot be turned back," Scheufler said. "I wasn't getting any younger."

And if John Kerry had won, do you think any voters would have sued him for making false claims?

The judge should dismiss this case and throw her lawyer in jail.

LOL. They make you look younger. They don't claim to turn back or stop the aging process. Like DUH.

She thought it would change her birthday.

""You are claiming that these particular products prevent aging, when we know that particular claim is outrageous," Rubenstein said. "They are not going to change your birth date."

And note it's a CLASS ACTION lawsuit. Sounds like a couple of unscrupulous attorneys found a patsy, who was willing to make the charges.

Whose tagline reads, "Forget the fountain of youth, we need a fountain of smart." I love that one and this wrinkle-face could sure use a gulp.

I wonder if I can sue all these male enhancement product manufacturers that spam my e-mail? Of course, the problem would be getting someone to admit they don't work....
