Sosa to Endorse Skin Bleaching Cream; Hair Straighteners Next?

↵
↵Sammy Sosa has long since seen his life as disgraced slugger play itself out of relevance, so it looks as though he hopes to reinvent himself by pushing products to help darker complected people conform to that oh-so wondrous white ideal of beauty.↵↵The photos of a now pallid Sosa posing with his wife at the People in Espanol’s “50 Most Beautiful People” event engendered a mid-sized Internet gigglefest, topped with innumerable vitiligo jokes. But it was no disease. Sosa was merely tested out a new skin bleaching cream. And he was such a fan, he says he wants to endorse the cream. Sosa’s representation might want to let him know the potential racial sensitivity issues that are bound to arise from that.↵

↵↵But, hey, maybe he’s that hard up for income. I can see the ads already. Instead of “It’s so reeeeeeealllllll,” we can have “It’s so paaaaallllleeeee.”↵
