Those sole detox pads have a water activated dye in them. You sweat, the pads get all nasty and brown, and viola! You have been convinced that you have sweated out “toxins.”

The image on I'm seeing on the front of the video is not inspiring me to brave it. About those foot pads, you're probably right that they're bogus. They rely on reflexology, specifically the belief that the major organs all have corresponding points in the feet. Supposedly toxins from the organs pool in the feet and the ingredients in the pads draw them out through the skin. There are people who claim it works for them, but I'm pretty skeptical- especially since I've heard that the discoloration doesn't come from the toxins that are drawn out so much as from the ingredients in the pad reacting to sweat. Odds are that any positive effects can be called placebo. Didn’t watch the video as racial humor squicks me. The image on I’m seeing on the front of the video is not inspiring me to brave it.

For those of you saying Dave Chappelle is pulling a double standard; his sketches in which he does his white face a quite hilarious and he isn't just going for some stupid easy racial giggles. I think people need to stop going to crazy over all the racist comedy out there. It not going away because idiots find it funny but that doesn't mean you have to start some crusade about fighting the good fight against racism unless of course your all for no freedom of speech because regardless of how you look at it it is there opinion to hold.

I don't know how Chuck feels about large, southern, black, elderly females, but I would expect that he knows something more than you do. Is he playfully imitating a manner of speech from someone or someones that he himself has known well and thinks of fondly, or mean-spiritedly mocking people he considers beneath him? I don't know. Is the word turlet-paper funny? I think so, but for the same reason I think its funny when my grandmother says "warsh" instead of wash, or supper instead of lunch. Not all white people are necessarily outsiders to black culture. Skin color means NOTHING. There are racist white people and racist black people. Neither is morally superior to the other. Though it's easier now for a black comedian to speak badly of whites, main-stream movies and T.V., politics, and sanctioned economic practices that are being largely ignored remain areas where subtly institutionalized white to black racism continues to exist. I'm sleepy. Race relations is a sensitive issue and we all need to understand its nuances.

Or am I pointing out double standards here?" You're kidding, right? There is no history of white face being connected with literature justifying white slavery, segregation and apartheid against whites or vicious caricatures of whites. Dave Chappelle's criticism of white people? “Well doesn’t Dave Chapelle dress up in white-face when he si doing his newsman? Or am I pointing out double standards here?”

I must point out however that anyone that would either a) purchase Detox pads, b) use them, or c) believe in their efficacy deserves to be robbed of every cent by every charlatan and scam artist in the world and left outside, broke and naked, to be eaten by coyotes and/or feral dogs. Good Christ, didja grow up in an ice cave on Mars? If this worked, then why aren't people who wear white sweat socks and/or have naturally sweaty feet the healthiest people in the world (hint: they're not)? Love to chat, but gotta go---I have to check the astrology chart in today's paper to see if I'm going to have a good day... Didn’t see the Jemima video—nothing personal, just busy.

The Dave Chappelle white guy act is usually followed by the most negative black stereotypes and is used as a tool to underline the fear of reinforcing the negative stereotypes that pertain to your particular race, he is also FUNNY. Don't confuse bad comedy acts or jokes and actual racism ( Imus, Michael Richards(Kramer), and Mencia ). This guy aside from being not funny is most likely a big ass racist, unless the joke was on the audience, if he took down their addresses and mailed them to the modern equivalent of the Black Panthers, that would be hella funny! Black face can both be funny and misinterpreted see Ted Danson. “There were caricatures of Jewish people with large noses or money grubbing ways in Germany not long before the camps began”… kat, you must have no understanding of European history do you.
