But an ad which has a girl showing a girl who is darker than what she wants to be, getting fairer by using a product..i think thats fine. Its like those weight loss ads, breakfast cereals which promise weight loss etc..because people have different desires..girl A may Be pretty cool with her obesity, girl B might have a deep desire to be skinnier, hence she will try and get the products which promise weightloss and since she wants these, ads wil endorse those.
Obviously an ad which shows an obese girl being rejected for matrimony is not right, but pushing a weight loss product for someone who wants such is fine, i think.
Someone may get parachute oil, because they saw it on tv. Same thing.
