I would have liked to be a fly on the wall at a recent company meeting held by a multi-national behemoth. There must have been a meeting, because the organisation in question issued a press release soon after, declaring their need to absolve themselves from the racism implicit in one of their most popular products. It would no longer be called 'Fair & Lovely', they said, horrified at their own history of exploitation. From now on, it would be 'Glow & Lovely' to show how respectful they were towards people of all colour.

Think about that meeting, if you will, and the overpaid marketing people who must have thought long and hard to come up with that new and improved name. Think about how dim-witted one has to be to make a suggestion like that, and how utterly inane your managers undoubtedly are if they choose to accept it. Think about what these people are being paid, and have been paid for years, with money collected from the rest of us.
