It's hilarious. I've heard of viral marketing but this is just a useless and even tasteless application.

It's annoying. Facebook and Vaseline should be ashamed of themselves allowing such a bias to proliferate. This glorification of fair skin is nothing but marketing and vestiges from colonial servitude.

It's a non-issue. Facebook is a social networking site, Vaseline is a brand of toiletries, these things mean nothing.

As powerful multinational companies discover the marketing power of Facebook, they rely on old or revived colonial ideals to sell their products. This skin-whitening application is nothing but a neocolonialism couched in capitalism.
