Commercials for skin care products

The way things are, Clean and Clear is "the acne product the beautiful people use." If they changed actors, it would be "the acne product people with acne use." It probably has something to do with cognitive dissonance.

Well, "the acne product the beautiful people use" sounds incredibly stupid. Then again, lots of people are stupid, so maybe what you're saying is true.

I was not intending to incite racial hatred between the white man and black man. i posted facts based on Scientific evidence. The goal was to educate you about the problems of skin disorder in the less melanin races. The Caucasian race is the one, which still has those perticular problems, even after generations of mixing....

Well, thank you for educating me on something I already knew and only loosely related to the matter at hand.

Ha ha. I didn't mean they should use that as their actual slogan. That's just the brand identity they seem to be going for.

Sometimes I think the chief explanation for why ads look the way they look is that the producers like to work with pretty young women.

I don't know about other skin issues, but there's no a priori reason to think that HamBab is wrong.

I can assure you he is.

Skin cancer is affected by melanin in the skin because melanin protects against the sun's radiation. That's its purpose. But there is no way it could have anything to do with dimples (pimples?).

The reason I was so incredulous of HB's claim was that I happen to live in an area of the world where both races are heavily represented in the population, and I can see every day that skin problems are not limited in their frequency or severity by race.

Race-baiting is more a question of tone than content, and I suppose the absurdity of this part of his claim coupled with the off topic nature of the rest of the post may have caused me to misunderstand his intention, and if that is the case, then I certainly do apologize.

Yeah, that and the fact that we all like to look at pretty young women, which reminds me I've got a question I need to PM you.
