Nothing unusual about this ad existing though, IME - they were all over the drokking place in the Philippines when I was there last year!
It's utterly bonkers though... In the UK, women spend all their time trying to make themselves look black, in Asia, the women spend all their time trying to make themselves look white.
Humans. Utterly FUBAR.

Is that a serious question?
If you think I'm getting into semantics over skin colour... Forget it.

I suppose you're insinuating that the post-2000 Western culture that many have adopted is black in its origin and should remain there? That's the only way I can see you saying UK women are making themselves black

which infers you think UK women are/should be thought of as white. Tsk tsk wurly.
