Fair N Lovely

[smellyface101]

BITCH IS ALWAYS LATE!

If you ask me she needs a watch not a bottle of bleach cream.

[fqshah]

@smellyface101

hahahahaha good comment! 

[Seaflowerr]

The engine of train has connection with skin color! A new creation :))))

[jmajesty79]

i'm so glad i'm not indian! what a horrible culture!

[selfmutilation100]

@jmajesty79 your racist LOL

[jmajesty79]

@selfmutilation100 i'm not racist i have indian friends, its the culture i'm opposed to.

[fqshah]

@jmajesty79

ohkay so who's culture doesn't favor lighter, whiter skin?

[FufuaImani5]

This is crazy, people of color unaware of who they are ...self hatred ...who and what are you trying to resemble?

[MICKEYISSOCOOLLIKE]

"Why are her arms even darker than her face in the first place? SHITT.

[eesharc]

That Fair and Lovely shit only LIGHTENS your skin tone. Like if you're black, it may turn you dark brown if you're lucky. It does NOT make you paper-white, dammit. Gimme a break.

[turnfootsherlock]

indians people are so nasty i hate you motherfucker

[RedNorthern]

yeah yeah im dark skinned which means no one will will want to talk to me, give me a job, marry me etc. unless i use ur cancer causing cream thx JAI HIND

[Seaflowerr]

@RedNorthern so funny :)))) I agree with you

[calimar28]

This lady in the commercial knows, that white = right!

[Kalliopurania]

@calimar28 I hope for you and your salvation (I don't know if this is the right word) that you are not as racist as your comments indicate. I highly doubt that you could ever logically and understandably explain as to why being white means being better in your eyes. You're one of those white supremacists, aren't you?... and therefore not worth the dirt under an ordinary black man's shoe.

[KINGMJ1990]

I am indian and i am tired of this shit...

My dad is fair skinned naturally my mom is dark brown...i am whatever i am ...so what....love ur colour...fuck these ads......fuck the indian government for not banning these ads and then talk about racism against indians in australia

[calimar28]

@KINGMJ1990 Why should they ban this? If people want to better themsleves, what's the harm?

[KINGMJ1990]

@calimar28

Do you know what racism is?....Being white is not being better...!!!Go get a life

[calimar28]

@KINGMJ1990 Being white is not being better? Obviously it is to these women.

[ABCshake]

@calimar28 So how does using whitening cream better yourself?

[sunflowernoo]

So what is this conveying? When you're dark you're left behind in life??? How ridiculous! Love your skin color people,..No matter what shade it is!

[therealreneen]

so there basically saying the lighter you are the more you can achieve? the world is blind.

[tuttifrutti91]

maybe she should stop applying fairness creams so she could catch the train on time for a change?

Ugh, I hate these Fair and Lovely ads. They just perpetuate the stupid fixation with fairness that Indian people tend to have.

[TropicalLove07]

what a gay ass commercial.. and im bangladeshi

[Rapunzel18ify]

She could not catch the train becoz her Arms Were Dark??!!!! How Stupid!!!!

[Griesmayer]

@Rapunzel18ify remember that a country's advertisement is only a reflection of its citizen's way of thinking, and not some new kind of propaganda.

[ASacredSpirit]

stupid

[Griesmayer]

Hitler would like this video lol

[kbotreau1]

@Griesmayer

word up ... hitler is a big fan of Michael Jackson as well

[eesharc]

@kbotreau1 how would u know?

[TsakirisAlexandros]

@kbotreau1 No... I think it is the other way around. I mean it is wacko jacko who bleached his skin, who chopped down EVERY singe african facial feature he had to look what Hitler thought was good.

Of course he did not take it to the next level of getting a blond wig and wearing light contacts like Tyra or Beyonce do.

~~~~~~

Can your side ever have any reasonable argument or what?

[MrIndoCanadian]

@Griesmayer Not really Jews are whiter even after Indians put fairness cream and Hitler hated Jews.

[mysticdark1]

OMG OMG I SERIOUSLY LOLed watching this shitty commercial

[emzkind77]

These ads are bizarre - my skin is about as fair as it's possible to be, and it BURNS in the SUNLIGHT... My mother had a melanoma... I turn red when its hot and a mottled purple when its cold... What's the big attraction? Dark skin is lovely. Actually ALL skin is lovely - Crazy tanning creams are just as strange...

[BodModxCORE]

This is the kinda stuff FailBlog dreams of. Amirite?

[HoaxDefender]

This is a fucking Commercial..

[whitedaisez]

wtf she couldnt catch de train cuz her arms were darker?? :/

[SLAPEDONIE]

very stupid :S SHAME SHAMEE!!

[tedoymisojos]

WHAT THE FUCK

[Hikaru2g]

Disgusting and Sad

[PrettyCrappyUsername]

WTF? how come that guy didnt want to help her when she was dark?

only after she got lighter he wanted to help her??

what the hell is up with that societY??

[Snezhinka9]

no, i think she was embarassed to stretch out her hand to him bcs she didn't want him to see her skin dark.

[darienanddarius]

I don't get this, her arms were dark? and she could not catch to train, now the arms are light now she can? what a stupic commercial

[celticmoon88]

@darienanddarius what dont u get?only fair skinned people catch trains in india LOL

[Extravaganza1]

@darienanddarius here arms were dark, so she didn't want to reach out her arm, because people would notice. Now that she is fair skinned, she is confident.

Very sad..

[miamivicepastels83]

@darienanddarius a metaphor....a stupid message but a metaphor nonetheless. real sad

[BarriosGroupie]

@darienanddarius no, her arms are light, more attractive and a handsome, dashing stranger helps her onto the train.

[Shoppingstar525]

@darienanddarius u spelled stupid wrong...haha

[CaligirlSofia]

racist commercial

[wishfullofdreams]

WTF O_O

[Snezhinka9]

the girl in this commercial actually looks better & gentler with darker skin...with whiter skin she looks harsher bcs it creates a sharp contrast to her hair/eyebrows...

[thekingofmoney2000]

Oh then if were were blonde it would be ok? lol that makes no sense...

[RedSeaCoral]

this is a joke right? this happens in india for real, people advertise this sort of stuff? lool i feel sorry for the dark skinned indians, they're probably sick of these pointless comercials for stupid, vain people.

lool why the hell would you have a night mare about the colour of your skin, if you're not comfortable in your own skin you have some real issues, beauty comes in all shapes sizes and in this case SKIN TONES, so please indian folks get over the notion that white equals beauty.

[nessy17142]

Sh..IT this is F-ING  G A Y

[narmis1231]

oh i thought it was that she was ashamed to put hewr arm out to the stranger because of the colour of her skin and then when her skin was lighter she was ashamed =S

[cookieplu321]

what a fuckin pointless commercial it makes no sense

[hopesolofan18]

this is stupid ..indian women are beautiful and so are their skin

[TheDivineLife]

OMG...........such sadness

[oresundguy]

HOW STUPID!

[pscomics]

The train is such a powerful metaphor. It's saying, "You're being left behind. Catch up to us." Then they offer you a simple cream that will make that happen. Very powerful advertising manipulation.

[blacksupershero]

Yeah, having lighter skin obviously propelled this woman with enough speed and self esteem to not only make the train, but to also be considered enough of a woman to be helped on board by a willing stranger. Stupid commercials. There is nothing shameful about being brown.

[Melimoo]

i don't think comparing skin lightening to tanning is fair. tanned skin in america is not viewed as a necessity for success or respect. having pale skin in america does not have the same negative social connotations as having dark skin in india.

[hannacompgeek5]

its the same thing tanning and skin bleach .. people wanting to change the color of their skin idiot!

[Snezhinka9]

what if you want to? why should you put up with something you dont like? You own your skin/body, you have the right to change it. I always use fake tan in the summer because my skin only burns and doesnt tan naturally, but I want a summery look. There's nothing wrong with changing your skin color, as long as you do it safely and responsibly (e.g. not using harsh chemicals like hydroquinone).

[aminap208]

i understand what u mean, and it makes sense. but u have to understand the indian mentality isnt like, i wanna have a pale look or w'e, like how u wanna have a summery look. its actually racism. to them, black ppl are hideous and ugly ppl. indians really think like that. to them DARK=ugly and LIGHT=pretty. that's just the way they are, it's their mentality. and sadly, its racism. i go for tans too, get a nice summery carribean look, but for them it's not a look or w'e, its racism.

[Snezhinka9]

i understand that they are victims of colonial mentality, and some of them actually are racist, but some actually want to look lighter because they find it attractive, and thats fine as long as they do it responsibly. Loads of Indians have awesome-looking skin, but it depends on a person's personal taste.

[aminap208]

when ppl go tanning, ya they wanna change the colour of their skin. its w'e ppl tan and ppl bleach. but indian ppl take it to a whole new level that its actually racism. black ppl are considered hideous ppl, because of their skin tone. indian ppl really think like that. its not that oh i would want to have a lighter skin tone just cause i like it, it's that dark skin is literally considered ugly and hideous to them. they are racist. it is racism.

[5posen]

in just my opinion i just think they admire people with a lighter skin than theirs, i myself, an asian (malay) live among people who desperately wants to be fair, even my chinese friends are extremely concious about getting 'darker' and this annoys my indian friends. i feel it is just a lack of self confidence and this product understands this insecurity that women, esp indian women tend to have with their skin. i don't think its racism, i just think its, consumerism, "ideal beauty", i suppose.

[miamivicepastels83]

@Melimoo true

[osirica]

So you're telling me, her own friends and coworkers won't help her because they don't want to touch her darker colored arm?

And India doesn't have a skin color problem... yea right.

GOD you must me kidding me.

[primasylph]

I think it's that she looks at her dark colored arm and out of insecurity, doesn't reach for her friends

Either way, it's still pretty sad.

[0157jo]

Missing the plot here! Will try n help: She's running late to catch her train n its obvious she is not going to make it to her friends .

BUT, she is now lighter and the stranger is more than willing to help her.......

[PrettyCrappyUsername]

still yet, why didnt the stranger help her when she was dark?

he only wanted to help her when she had white skin?

wow. this is sad.

i never knew indians were this insecure about their skin..

i believe they have beauitful skin!!

[eesharc]

@osirica Its a weird weird place out here. Yeah.

[eesharc]

@Invoker1488 so?????

[wtcgnub]

i feel realy bad the dove beuty campain are selling bleaching creams

[aussiechickloveslife]

i feel good about it because i have fair skin...

[kellygirl789]

why do indians love to bleach their skin so damn much?

[kashmirgreeneyes]

because south indians r really ugly

[prettymimi86]

uh this is an north indian comercial lol

[vijayanv88]

& who the fuk r u to say that.

[eesharc]

Oh yea? Then why on earth r asin, shilpa shetty, r madhavan and d lyk such a hit in d industry?

Plus, parvathy omankuttan is miss india or sumthing.

[kmims2006]

at least this one didnt end with her and some white guy like all the others

[syringahu]

the Unilever to advertise the brown skin in Hungary... Dove Summer Glow

BUT

the Unilever to advertise the white skin in India... Fair and Lovely

(i live in Hungary and i don't shop Dove Summer Glow!)

Big business for Unilever!

[hadapurpura]

Yeah, and these are the same people who have the "Dove self-esteem campaign"...

[Mickezinha]

That is so racist! Awful propaganda!

[MTZ83]

i hate dark sin.

[XxMamii]

maybe because ure vegina is dark

[hyylo]

what do you use on your bum?

[maipai101]

Whitening toilet paper :D

[cool120]

she looks better whiter and thats the truth... better being white thats the message

[yajjy58]

this fair and lovely shit dont work

[cannoir]

LMAO ! chick got lighter from the mn she stepped in the train, lawd have mercy whew !.

this add 's silly. it aint that racist IMO but plain dumb.

[AmbienceWarrior]

So once I lighten my skin the train will practicaly wait for me and a handsome stranger (who could be a killer,rapist,etc) will reach out his hand to pull me into the train? Damn they're just straight forward with picking at people's insecurities.

[GetItRight222]

lol this is hilarious..and at the same time, it's really sad to see how people are degrading their own race that way.

[aussiechickloveslife]

do you think the same when people go out and get fake tans? because both fake tans and bleaching creams are the same kinda thing

[aurisma]

The caste system is still in effect. Mental slavery.

[blaize77]

INDIANS R SICK. I feel bad for them any dark skinned indians with commericals like these one will begin to be brainwashed into thinking light is better. UR NOT WHITE!!!! ur FUCking Indian u racist fucks

[Tamanna19]

I agree blaize77 even though Iam a naturally light skinned indian I totally agree that its sad in india but americans also go crazy tanning b/c its always wut you want that u don't have. Its in both countries!

[faboloushees]

its funny indians hate indians too

i'm sihk so i'm white hein duttywinemami

you r hindu so you ugly blabla bla sorry

i was in india the dark ones are as hot than the fair ones

so stop hating ppl from your country you r all indians none of u are americans or somthing else

[duttywinemami]

u chat shhhiit n besides u may hav gone 2 india its unlikely u went to punjab bcoz u wud be blown away by the fit sikhs ther

[blakabakra]

Uhhh, she looked nicer when she was dark ... get back under the sun and get your sexy color back :)

[pakipwincees]

OMG get a life u ppl that think u hve 2 be pretti if u hve ligh skin u can be pretti if u got dark skin

[jmc8197]

Shilpa Shetty is very beautiful, even with dark skin. She'd be prettier if her skin was lighter.

[pakipwincees]

shilpa shetty isn't that pretii

[jmc8197]

Compared to aishwarya, no she isn't. Who else did u have in mind?

[abercrombiegal09]

umm.... so you just implied that lighter skin is more beautiful

talk about frickin ignorance=]

[Extravaganza1]

Ridiculous.

So she isn't happy with her life and misses the train, because her body is too dark? And when she is lighter everybody would like to help her and she learns how to smile?

Distorting

[jamerican347]

Just another example of European post-colonization effects.

[xxxxenon5]

actually thats not true -- fair=beauty is at least 3000 years old in india.

[MrSoultronica]

Why in the hell would you want to lighten your skin? That is so ignorant and stupid. Do all the Indian people think this way? I'm so glad I wasn't born in that country their society is so weak that it's embarrasingly sad. I feel great pitty for them :(

[xxxxenon5]

its sort of how white americans think they need to tan and look like carrots to be beautiful :)

I feel great pity for them.

[galanoth17]

aahaha very nicely said

[djkgjkn]

darkies...

[duttywinemami]

LMao y do hindus want 2 b light i hav naturally white skin 4 being a sikh trust me it aint all gud there are alot of burdens lik all the men jus dropping theeir jaws at u

[lyle1123]

...and the teachers at school being too timid to talk to you because of your beauty, thus hindering your efforts to spell and use grammar on the internet years later.

[duttywinemami]

[lyle1123]

[teeny92]

[wishfullofdreams]

i ROFLED so loud at this.

[patience0791]

haha, well put...
