I sense another apology on the horizon:
“The model in the swimwear campaign is called Isabeli Fontana and she is Brazilian, which means that she has a darker skin tone than most Europeans,” an H&M representative told The Local.

For goodness sake you’d think they showed her smoking.

This famous ad was on a billboard in Miami for many years, maybe still exists.

Or, it would also be okay if this girl were a “trans-gendered” person who had a sex change operation.

“Too tan” is the new “Bourgeoisie”. Just like the “fatties” that the lefties are squawking about.
It’s funny, tho. Look at “Little Kim” of the Norks. He embodies everything the Libtards embrace.

I am more afraid of the chemicals in sun screen than I am of the freaking SUN!
Good grief! do these people think we evolved underground? the sun is GOOD for you!
Can you get it much? sure... and you can drink to much water too! ANYTHING taken to an extreme can be bad. But lets use our brains before we all start running from the sun screaming and smearing chemicals made with who the heck knows what all over us !

Except for the surgically-manufactured breastworks, she looks like the primitive stick figures we used to draw on book page corners to create our own "movies" by flicking.

What’s the difference between a fort and a fortress? A fortress has breastworks.
But that’s not as bad as..... when did the mags start referring to a woman’s bosom as her “rack”? That sounds so harsh and unfeminine.
Oh, for an earlier time. But you’re right, that Brazilian model is all angles except for her.... what? Enhanced Winnebagos?
Women were softer then....ideals to be admired....beauty inspired worship, not cold lust....not much time left, glad I’m married to the most beautiful woman in the world....she thinks I’m a romantic old fool...oh, well.
