Dashing? But I'm not even moving!


I cannot for the life of me track down a great radio piece I heard years ago. I thought it was on Too Much Information but all I'm sure of is it was one of those Moth-style things, a monologue telling a story that you understand is not necessarily 100% historical. The guy says he's a sales consultant and he's visited one day in his office by a very rich south asian business fella who wants an expert to explain to him how to sell his company's skin whitening cream in the US. And he's trying and failing to explain it, and the businessguy gets frustrated and is going to leave.

My clearest memory is the very end of the story, where the guy says "I can't help you sell your product, but I want you to promise me something: if you do market it in the US, I want you to call it 'Smartwhite'."

I think about that on a regular basis. The story was bullshit, in that it doesn't matter whether it happened or not, and the teller was trying to convey an understanding of what qualities we see as "white" in the modern US. I think of 'smart' homes, and apple stores, and nordic interior design.

e: please reply if you also remember this story, my family is dying

There have been instances where someone was admitted into the council but not granted the rank of master. The definition is unclear and can be considered outrageous.

It specifically says it's for "skin evening creams." (They are skin lighteners. The "evening" is reducing "dark" spots.)

i don't see any toothpaste brands under l'oreal group so even if the article wasn't explicitly, as stated in the article, referring to skin-bleaching products but was, as a glance at the headline might lead one to believe, referring to literally everything the company makes, they still wouldn't be talking about toothpaste as far as i can tell

I mean, it'd be a thousand times more effective if L'Oreal stopped making whitening creams, like Johnson and Johnson did. if you take a quick GIS for "whitening cream racist" you'll get an idea of what I mean

Re: the cheese on fajitas wife tweet.

Leaving aside the "My life is ruined because an underpaid overworked waiter is a little slow." bullshit. Do we know why does she need cheese to eat fajitas? Is she a 5 year old chucking a sook because she can't get exactly what she wants? And I've never heard of a picky eater with that specific whinge.

Also, why can't she eat them as is, and wait for teh loving cheese that she prefers, like a normal person?
