I was on my way to ride a train where I would be fetching my mother. She was carrying a lot of luggage that's why she asked me to fetch and help her. As I was walking towards the station, I saw a man giving freebies. He was just standing there and not exerting much effort in dong his job. I approached him and asked for one. He gave me this:
Belo is a name of a known dermatologist, that also has her own line of beauty products. The product that the guy gave me was a whitening soap. The ad's message was, "10% lighter. 100% more numbers."
Now, I know what all of you are thinking. So, the ad's saying that if we have lighter skin, we'll get more phone numbers from girls? I mean, a lot of good looking guys really are "good looking" even though they have a fair complexion (just like me? HAHA). I personally think this might be offensive to people with darker complexion.
This ad could've insulted and lowered people's self-esteem. Belo should think twice on the revision of this ad, AGAIN. Or else, Carly Rae Jepsen's song would've ended like this. "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy? I hate your dark skin, get whiter maybe?"
