Many Asian stars use devices like this to make their nose smaller. Yes, it works and must be used continuously. Something like this would probably not be considered safe by Health & Safety Agency in America, but in Japan celebrities endorse these products with the companies getting government tax breaks by spending money on promotional materials advertising these products!!!
So where is this mysterious JohnB? Because I like big noses and I cannot lie. You other girls can’t deny. When a guy walks in with a great big schnoz I get -
The next line isn’t supposed to rhyme, but here you go:
When a guy walks in with a great big schnoz
and somethin’ to give you pause
you get wiggly
an’ kinda giggly
Yeah, I don’t listen to rap. My music tastes run from big band to disco plus Broadway stuff. Most modern non-Broadway song on my iPod is The Police’s Every Breath You Take – or as I call it, “The Crazy Stalker Song.” Only time I listen to rap is when Weird Al does a parody.
I wouldn’t even know that much of that big butts “song” if not for Friends and Shrek.
Yeah, but you can see from my picture that actually I don’t have a nose, and that this, plus the fact that I have a BAD case of jaundice, makes me grimace.
Ultimately, the US Postal Service was unable to keep all of JohnB’s nose under one zip code. The FCC was, however, pleased that they were able to keep it within a single telephone area code.
If it must be used continuously, I would think that the cosmetic enhancement of having a narrower nose would be completely offset by the fact that you have this silly-looking device that you are constantly running up and down your nose! Not to mention the fact that no one can see your mouth nor hear what you’re saying, since you have your hand in front of your mouth.
Well, the name of the object is also in (presumably) Chinese, Korean, and Arabic. Probably it’s supposed to increase the coolness factor — “see, foreigners are buying it, so it’ll work for you, too!”
Except that means conjoined French and English. I think what’s called for here is word meaning French screwed up terribly by (usually) an Asian language or its user(s). So… ‘Flench’ or ‘Flançaise.’
At the bottom it says “Enjoy your nose massage stimulating your skin.” I guess it’s like a foot massage for your nose. Maybe some marketing wonk’s idea, a solution looking for a problem.
It means ‘Their faces do not comply with the constructed Western beauty standard (which I [Vist] decided must be applied to all people on Earth, because I’m just narrow-minded like that and can’t realise my conceptions do not have to be universal’.
who said my conceptions had to be universal? I think most Asians have fat and ugly noses. Just because I have an opinion gives you little basis to call me narrow-minded. Now, if you wanted to call me shallow, that would be more appropriate.
These days, most Americans have fat, ugly bodies. I personally find that more repulsive than a broad nose, but I wouldn’t have brought it up if we hadn’t decided to start speaking in generalities about ethnic characteristics and their appeal to our internal, idealized standards of beauty. So, since I am an American, I’d suggest hastily changing the subject.
Europeans (espeically northern europeans) are the most varied looking ppl on earth with the varities of hair color and stronger (i.e. sexually selected) facial features.
Whether that is your idea of beautiful is entirely subjective, but to non-europeans it is always interesting.
East Asians have a pretty different perspective. If they go for plastic surgery it’s more likely because they want to ‘stand out’ rather than to improve ‘self esteem’.
My previous boyfriend is of Japanese ancestry and a fox; even if he was a idiot. He also had a small, skinny nose.
Any of the men care to venture a guess as to any other physical attributes he may have possessed?
Are there shiatsu massage points on your nose? Maybe this is for nose reflexology. Every part of your body is represented by a place on your nose. That’s why alcoholics can get such big red noses, the nose spot representing the liver just gets bigger and bigger… hell’s bells, if nose reflexology is real, what the hell did I do to myself as a teenager squeezing all those blackheads???
I’ve seen very similar items on eBay, through sellers from China. They also all seem to sell a little gadget that you hold over your nose, and goes up over the eyes (like a strange Y shape) to draw on eyebrows for that “Western” look. They come in one-size-fits-all. I guess the larger Asian women have to wing it on the eyebrows.
Good grief, I think it would require a gentleman’s tastes to run in a certain direction for him to agree to that thing being allowed anywhere near his… yes, well, quite.
He’s right about the Arabic text! I didn’t notice it before I read this comment. It’s in the small subtitles right under the big Engrish title.
Wow, this should be posted on an Alabic site or something cause the Arabic fail is much bigger.
And dr handle you’re right, especially when you consider that this thing is probably made for women…
In East Asian countries, a lot of women are self-conscious about their nose shapes due to a beauty ideal popularized by Hollywood films and the spread of Western culture. Since it’s in the beauty section and clearly marketed toward women, I’m assuming this is one of the many tools that are supposed to make your nose thinner and pointier, closer to the Caucasian look. Some girls resort to putting clothespins on their noses. None of it works, of course.
Pointy noses have long been associated with aristocracy, and even girls in the Western world have pined for them and attempted to shape them until relatively recently.
Under the picture it says “enjoy your nose massage stimulating the skin”. Why you’d want a nose massage beats me, it sounds rather awful. Especially if you did it while you were sick.
Well, maybe it’s for helping pop blackheads on your nose.

Wow! That was well worded, punctuation & Capitalization was correct….ZOMG IT’S A NOT TROLL!!!
No. It’s Christopher Johnson.
No. Itsa’ me, Mario!
No, this is Patrick!
Actually, THIS IS SPARTA!
Hey!
Looka’ Mah Face, Imma so crazy!!
Wow, well slap ma’ fro!
The little bunny is on here!!!
Just think what it would have done for the career of W. C. Fields.
Ruined it. The nose was the real star, W. C. was just the vehicle.
Ah – well, to me it looked like something that could pop those big blackheads that form right where your nose and cheeks meet.
I hope the men don’t use it. I think men with big noses are sexy.
Then I’ll think you’ll find JohnB to be very sexy.
I’ve heard he has a really big nose. They even wanted to give it it’s own zip code.
(See I’ve got good memory)
So where is this mysterious JohnB? Because I like big noses and I cannot lie. You other girls can’t deny. When a guy walks in with a great big schnoz I get -
Um, does anyone know a good rhyme for schnoz?
M… menopause?
The next line isn’t supposed to rhyme, but here you go:

Amazing! The only musical taste we share in common is a distaste for rap.
Try some Gil Scott Heron, better than rap, but the same idea.
I tried, but the television would not be revised.
It falls short of being visionary.
AAAAARGH! *clonk*
Since when have I been considered mysterious?
Hey, I’ve never seen you before, therefore you’re mysterious to me!
Yeah, but you can see from my picture that actually I don’t have a nose, and that this, plus the fact that I have a BAD case of jaundice, makes me grimace.
Although when I’m feeling blue, I develop these hexagonal features and start calling myself Joanna. I guess that IS a bit mysterious…
Split personality much?
I’d bring La Conejita in on this, but I don’t like to split hares.
greedy, are we?
Well, thank you. If you were that type of man, we wouldn’t be able to be friends.
Ultimately, the US Postal Service was unable to keep all of JohnB’s nose under one zip code. The FCC was, however, pleased that they were able to keep it within a single telephone area code.
Enough of that fluid left to make a long range post via satellite? I guess so.
That’s ectoplasm.
If it must be used continuously, I would think that the cosmetic enhancement of having a narrower nose would be completely offset by the fact that you have this silly-looking device that you are constantly running up and down your nose! Not to mention the fact that no one can see your mouth nor hear what you’re saying, since you have your hand in front of your mouth.
Japanese like non-Asian higher profile noses, so I thnik that this gadget is to (hopefully) shape the nose up by massaging it up and down.
Maybe they don’t quite get the meaning of “plastic” surgery.
Look at all the Frenlish under the Englrish. It is supposed to be a massager.
BTW, what are you supposed to call bad French? Frenlish is my guess.
Yes, my first thought: “is this a French thing?”
Well, the name of the object is also in (presumably) Chinese, Korean, and Arabic. Probably it’s supposed to increase the coolness factor — “see, foreigners are buying it, so it’ll work for you, too!”
I’d guess “Flench”? “Flançaise”?
I vote for “Franglish”.
The term “Franglais” has been in use for decades.
Except that means conjoined French and English. I think what’s called for here is word meaning French screwed up terribly by (usually) an Asian language or its user(s). So… ‘Flench’ or ‘Flançaise.’
Franglais has been in use for many many years…
Maybe even decades?
At the bottom it says “Enjoy your nose massage stimulating your skin.” I guess it’s like a foot massage for your nose. Maybe some marketing wonk’s idea, a solution looking for a problem.
How did you read that? I couldn’t get it clear enough to read “skin”.
I guess you need a better screen, Droll. I got that, too, although of course my mind immediately went to what other body parts it might work on…
I like your idea of ” like a foot massage for your nose”. Good for when your nose runs and your feet smell.
But if your head also hurts and you don’t love Jesus, I’d suggest going out for a good buffet, Jimmy.
The Japanese text says it is to massage your nose, and then says something about some line (?) on your nose and making it pretty.
I don’t know why. But i all of a sudden want one
What about the big white mask next to it? Jason would be proud
Psst…….I got the stuff…………
Dave’s not here, man….
No, man…I’m Dave!
Dave? Dave’s not here, man.
NO! I’m Dave, man. I got the stuff.
So where’s Steve?
And where’s Carl? I heard we are to specifically handle this stuff ONLY with Carl.
Right, because after a long day of stressful work, when I feel like my body is aching , all I want is a nose massage.
I don’t know, when I have a sinus headache and my nose is stuffy, I massage the outside with my fingers. Maybe this helps with that?
Though I still think it looks like it was meant for hard to squeeze blackheads.
I feel like seeing if there’s one avalible on Amazon to buy just to see it in person.
*Gives la conejita a nose massage*
Thank you that was nice of you. Did you remember to clip your claws?
If you turn up at Dreadful Pun Hell and ask masseur Tarquin for a nose massage, you know you’re going to weird him out completely.
Don’t worry, I won’t. He already knows what I like.
Yes, yes I did.
A.K.A. anti-fart device.
no, no, no. “ImpRements” of beauty.
my guess: its a device to make your nose pointer because having a pointer nose is a sign of beauty for Asians.
Asians have horrible noses
WTF does that mean??
Allot of asians have fat noses
Allot? I never knew that Asians were allotted! Then why did we allot so many of them??
That is kind of funny. haha
oops *a lot*
Do you determine the standards for nose attractiveness?
Where did you train?
The Nasal Academy?
Cute, chubby little noses that you want to kiss
It means ‘Their faces do not comply with the constructed Western beauty standard (which I [Vist] decided must be applied to all people on Earth, because I’m just narrow-minded like that and can’t realise my conceptions do not have to be universal’.

I agree
sorry if i offended anyone~
It’s not so much looking better as standing out and looking more ‘interesting’.
Asians think they (themselves) “all look the same” too.
Europeans (espeically northern europeans) are the most varied looking ppl on earth with the varities of hair color and stronger (i.e. sexually selected) facial features.
Whether that is your idea of beautiful is entirely subjective, but to non-europeans it is always interesting.
East Asians have a pretty different perspective. If they go for plastic surgery it’s more likely because they want to ‘stand out’ rather than to improve ‘self esteem’.
you can diet if you have a fat body. but if you have a flat nose….well…you get the idea
How’s your diet comming?
My previous boyfriend is of Japanese ancestry and a fox; even if he was a idiot. He also had a small, skinny nose.
Any of the men care to venture a guess as to any other physical attributes he may have possessed?
I’ll put $10 on brown eyes.
*sigh* You guessed it!
What about black hair?
Yes, gorgeous black hair! *another sigh*
His ancestry was both Japanese and…fox?
The usual two pinkies and….. another one?
Men are so intuitive!
I get intuit as often as possible. *raises eyebrows, flicks cigar*
My guess is that he over-used this device to unforseen consequences.
He developed carpal tunnel from using the device?
You have an eskimo fetish?
Small hands and feet?
If you don’t want to say it, just give us a number in inches.
It would be futile; women are no good at math!
Yes, well, we’ve all heard the reason for that…
I’m still wondering about the fox ancestry. Possibly a red fox?
Possibly, but I think the ancestry was due to a punctuation error. Happy now?
Poor guy.
Oh noes, not that.
I have one of these. It’s more of a nose masagger than anything else. They have a whole line of them for every part of your face.
Cool! I’d like to see the one for the eyeballs.
Do you wish to skin them before they skin you?
He plans to lure his eyes into a false sense of security so he can surprise skin them…
Are there shiatsu massage points on your nose? Maybe this is for nose reflexology. Every part of your body is represented by a place on your nose. That’s why alcoholics can get such big red noses, the nose spot representing the liver just gets bigger and bigger… hell’s bells, if nose reflexology is real, what the hell did I do to myself as a teenager squeezing all those blackheads???
God nose!

Actually in Arabic it says ball massager.
Good grief, I think it would require a gentleman’s tastes to run in a certain direction for him to agree to that thing being allowed anywhere near his… yes, well, quite.
He’s right about the Arabic text! I didn’t notice it before I read this comment. It’s in the small subtitles right under the big Engrish title.
Wow, this should be posted on an Alabic site or something cause the Arabic fail is much bigger.
And dr handle you’re right, especially when you consider that this thing is probably made for women…
Isn’t it for un-clogging the tear ducts?
If used as a ball massager, yes!
Nice one! That would most likely cause them to dry out though and might, just might, help with unclogging something else.
finally someone said sth that makes sense .
In East Asian countries, a lot of women are self-conscious about their nose shapes due to a beauty ideal popularized by Hollywood films and the spread of Western culture. Since it’s in the beauty section and clearly marketed toward women, I’m assuming this is one of the many tools that are supposed to make your nose thinner and pointier, closer to the Caucasian look.

why is everything smaller in china???
