Dark Results

I’ve stumbled upon a 2-year old court record where a group of South Americans sued a soap manufacturer for allegedly selling a defective product.

The complainants said that they were led to believe by the manufacturer that they would have whiter skin in just 2 weeks after using the product. Although their complexion did change after two weeks, it was a change that they didn’t expect.

Majority of the complainants suffered burn-like results, while a number of them developed white spots all over their body. Experts say that that the damage is irreversible.

I pity the complainants. Many companies have perfected the art of deception through advertisements. I hope that they get the justice that they deserve.

I wonder why many people in the tropics are obsessed in having whiter skin. Don’t they know that many Caucasians are envious of their bronze complexion? Well, I guess it’s a matter of preference rather than of general opinion.
