No, actually fair and lovely and fair and handsome (especially) are EXTREMELY HUGE investments by the subcontinent. Really, you should hear how much they put into the whole crap.

There are thousands of new products which take over the ill-lettered, and unfortunately even the educated. Ohnoes.....they are taking over the world *shockhorror* no seriously.
FAIRNESS METERS??? FAIRNESS METERS??? WHAT THE FUCK??? Oooh, look this is the black [disgustedlookhere] part of the meter, this is what I used to be [shudder]. Now I'm here, the white side, and evceryobe loves me. OK, they didnt SAY that, but that's what they mean. Have you seen those godawful telemarketers adds on Roopamrit (Skin honey or somthing)???? RACIST. RACIST.
Oh my god, that's some fucked up shit. And that's just from looking at really small images of the packaging.
"I can see my future" says a poor, shabby looking girl in badly designed old clothes. She turns around, she's fair, she's wearing a white suit and a (*shudder*) pink shirt underneath. She has better hair, and she's happy and smiling and everyone loves her. She picks up the fairness metre, and demonstrates how with each shade her life got better. I mean, of course you're only sucessful when your fair and lovely/handsome. Ronaldinho sucks major ass, doesn't he? I mean, Zidane is good, he's fair, but Ronaldo? He will always be the worst, poorest most underperforming player. I mean, he's dark, duh! EVERYONE prefers the much lighter skinned CHRISTIANO Ronaldo, when does fair play count when his SKIN is lighter? Puh-lease, how can anyone like the Brazillian Ronaldo? Pfft. And who is Beyonce Knowles? Mary J Blige? Bipasha Basu? Oprah Winfrey ? Huhwha??
