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?
