Mail order brides advertised on the Codex?

Recently, I was searching for info on the World of Xeen 2 mod, and as I clicked one of the links, it took me some time to process what I was seeing and realize, "Hey this is RPGCodex! I was posting here a year ago!"

So yeah, I have been dipping my feet into these cold waters occasionally, amount of content here is overwhelming with dozens of LPs, dozens of strategy game discussions, dozens of recent RPG discussions, dozens of old RPG discussions, dozens of movie discussions, dozens of everything. Can't keep up. I open a Shogun 2 Total War thread and see that everybody has already said or remarked whatever I wanted to say or remark. Too much of everything.

All of what I write above is an irrelevant preliminary. Look at this.

I was shocked. You can order a bride in 30 days? A bridal package to arrive at your place in 30 days? Would she burst out of the cardboard box or something?

But then I read what it's actually about. It seems this is another advertisement promoting standard Hindoo bigotry against dark-skinned people (such as yours truly). It's a fairness clinic promotion. 7000 year old prejudices just don't go away.

I don't even know what to say. It's so offensive, you are not even shocked, because it is an objectively offensive thing.

I don't watch TV or read local tabloids, partly because they are stupid and partly because they are full of such bigoted ads.

Here too? On the Codex? :o

It would seem that the bars in the cellar were not strong enough. Will fix.

Also: I saw ads for jewish dating on the codex. I am deeply offended.

Wouldn't be the Codex if somebody didn't whine about a beautiful woman in an ad.

Honestly, I don't see what was bigoted about those ads. A couple breaks up, the guy starts going out with another chick who turns out to be a bitch, he breaks up with her and gets back with his old girlfriend. Apart from the advertising woman going "ponds white beauty", I fail to see how skin color had anything to do with the story in those ads.

Writing style is quite different, and it's not a wall of text big enough.

But indeed, maybe he really is the OP.

Well... Yes, with almost 13k posts we did notice. You don't have to introduce yourself you know...

I don't even know what to say. It's so offensive, you are not even shocked, because it is an objectively offensive thing.

You are surprised by bigotry on the Codex?

This is not Prateek. Can't be.

It's about having lighter skin becouse you and your family are better off and didn't have to work on field under sun same as it was in Europe/KWA before cosmetic industry promoted the trend to look like some over cooked manboon. What wrong with that?

Hey Wyrmlord, what do you think of the fact that Osama Bin Laden was found on Pakistani soil?
