High Definition TV is causing great anxiety for many actors, actresses and news anchors. People will be able to see every nose hair, wrinkle and pimple extremely clearly.

While there were about 9 million HDTV's in households last year, this year the total is expected to jump to 39 million.

There are some new makeup products to help actors cover up for this magnified scrutiny including Cargo's blu_ray collection, which is supposed to promote "optical blurring," and Dior's High Definition Serum Foundation, which contains "HD liquid crystal pigments." Never mind that these products sound like they simulate what might happen if you dropped a computer monitor on the floor and then smeared whatever oozed out on your face.
