Party promoters in Ohio are under fire for the controversial theme of their next event; “Light Skin V.S. Dark Skin.”Here's the whole flyer. Personally, I'm not too impressed with either of these chicks. Remove all the yaki, fake lashes, boob implants, airbrushing, and assorted enhancements and tell me what you got left? How about a Real vs Fake Party? I might even leave my house for that one.
The party first caught national attention after being posted on Twitter, sparking debate with the hash tag #LightskinVsDarkskin.
A flyer for the party shows eye candy model Keyshia Dior for #TeamLightSkin alongside a darker skinned model for #TeamDarkSkin and is advertised as the “Most Anticipated Party Of The Year.”
The event is set to take place January 21 in downtown Columbus.

On a related note, anyone promoting something as the “Most Anticipated Party Of The Year” when the sh*t takes place on January 21st clearly is lacking even basic business acumen. BTW, you're currently reading the “Most Anticipated Post Of The Week". Sounds pretty effin' stupid, don't it?
Lets get beyond this, black folks. Please. And if you're in C-Bus, please, please, please don't drop good money on this idiocy.
Question: Is this merely a lazy example of shock promotion, or is there some larger social issue here that needs to be addressed?
