The Men Pen, A Scam or Real? Would John Krasinksi Use It?

Okay, I feel like it has to be a joke. What am I talking about? Keep up, already! I’m talking about the website (and product) The Men Pen. It’s the concealer for men. The website says, “This is the same product that male actors and models use in their everyday life and on photo shoots.” Wow. That’s preeeeetty impressive.

I understand that male actors and models wear makeup for taping shows and taking photos, but I sincerely doubt that most wear makeup in their everyday life. Or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe John Krasinksi (The Office) commonly says things like, “Hey, let’s run to the grocery store, just let me grab my shoes and my Men Pen for a quick touch-up.” But I think I’ll go with no, he does not do this!

Some of the website makes it seem like a joke, other things make it seem real. I googled it online and it’s even listed on Bizrate. It’s also listed on Easier.com. But it can’t be too hard to make such a bad website, create some fake e-mails and a toll-free number. I mean, I’ve done that a thousand times…! (kidding) What do you think? Is this a real product? It’s either a really elaborate ruse, or the most pathetic thing ever. Which reminds me of that scene from Friends where Chandler ’stalks’ Janice to a store near where she lives and she’s giving him this long speech where neither option is good and then she goes, “So which of these two guys do you wanna be?” Ha.

Here’s a scarier question, if it is real, are there really guys out there using it? Does it feel more manly to use this than something from Maybelline? I’m picturing a great 80’s-esque commercial of a two girls whispering about a hot guy, and then one turns to the camera, whispering (loudly) to the audience and says, “Maybe it’s Maybelline, maybe it’s The Men Pen!”
