on the topic of racism & cosmetics, don't you think it's racist that all plasters are white or flesh coloured, I mean what about black people plasters

Cool...we still have just the one colour here, guess apartheid isn't quite dead here yet

I dated this American girl and it was quite funny all the differences between certain words/phrases.

*What you call "Traffic lights" we call "Robots" here.
*A "Flash light" we call a "Torch"
*When you say "I'm pissed" it doesn't mean angry here, it means you're Drunk.
*A "fanny" means a "Vagina" to us South Africans...so when Americans say they "fell on their fanny" that pretty amusing to us.

Can't remember them all, but there's quite a few like that

All joking aside -

A multimillion $ company and this add went through their approval board hahaha that's either a very risky move by the advertisement board or directors or somebody fucked up and is not working within the Nivea empire anymore.
