Full Version: Sammy Sosa's Ghost..
Weeeeird. By the way, the 'before' image in your post looks really weird to me too, almost as if his skin had already whitened but he had been applying make-up to make it look darker. Oooh you know what it might be - he already has those bizarre contact-lenses in in your before picture.
His eyes used to look normal.
Would you guys even recognize him in that second picture? I feel like I might have a hard time. I'd be like, 'Ahhh I know that guy but can't place him, he's probably on some cop show or whatever,' before realizing it was a white Sammy Sosa.

That's extremely WTF. Who's the chick with him? Is that Xena, Warrior Princess?
oh. my. goodness.

Pam Grier.
Holy mother of god!!!!!!!!!!
He claims it's a combination of a skin rejuvenation procedure, and bad lighting. Yeah....
No chance it's Vitiligo? Yikes..

"What's going on with your skin?" asked Dandrades.
"I use a cream to keep my skin smooth and soft. I apply it before I go to bed. When I was playing for Chicago all those years, I was in the sun a lot for 1 o'clock games," said Sosa, who turns 41 tomorrow. "The flashes (from the cameras) also made my skin look lighter. I'm surprised with the controversy this has caused."
Sosa, who would not tell Dandrades the name of the cream he uses, did say that it is European and that he is in negotiations to market the product. He added that he wears colored contact lenses because he wanted to "try something different. I'm not trying to be superficial."

Preposterous. Yes, in a lot of the circulated images the flashes actually did make him look way whiter than he actually was. But not in all of them. Is he kidding about this mysterious cream? Also, is he kidding that he used to be black because he played afternoon baseball games sometimes?

I don't know about the rest of it, but black people can actually tan, yes. They can get darker when exposed to the sun.

Right, and him trying to say that that's what happened is preposterous.

That's awesome.

Pam Grier.
She is supposed to be black, also. Certainly there is a lighting effect going on here...That's won't fully explain the Michael Jackson-ness of it all, however.

It was a joke - that's not Pam Grier.
