How Ernie failed Bert

Now you might wonder why I’m writing a post on two puppets from a children’s TV show. Well friends, this is because I think that their friendship has a lot to teach us. Putting aside any rumoured plot twists about their supposed romantic relationship, I would like to turn to a more surface level observation. You may notice from the picture that the two ‘best friends’ look very different. Esp. Bert. You may notice that he actually only has ONE EYE BROW…now, not to say that people should be obsessed or overly concerned with their looks, I just think that if God gave you TWO eyes, he also gave you TWO eye brows. Friends, a unibrow is just not cool. If Ernie really was Bert’s best friend he would have told him this. He would have told him that having a unibrow will cause potential employers to pass you over, girls to not give you a second glance and your own mother to airbrush family photos. There is no shame in plucking. Yes boys, I’m talking to you. It doesn’t take long, and yes, people may notice a difference…but THIS IS A GOOD THING. Don’t shave it, that’s dumb….waxing? only professionally…plucking only takes ten minutes and will make a huge difference. If Ernie had really cared about Bert he would have told him this. Because frankly, Friends don’t let friends have unibrows.


PS. Girls please leave a comment voicing your support for the elimination of unibrows so that all the boys who read this post don’t think I’m out to lunch. Thanks.
