Every
so often I find things everybody else seems to be quite familiar with,
except me. Either the others are very much cleverer, better educated or
informed, or I am simply ignorant. I prefer to classify myself as the
latter, because that would simply mean I have not yet learned something,
rather than being downright stupid.
I am talking about the florescent pink rose. Have to confess never have I seen one. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue or even black ones yes, in shops where they sell electrical appliances and decorations, which always make me wonder what they could be served for.
In the pre-digital days the laboratories of revelation of photos there would be the red light bulb to prevent the light ruining the film or paper. Now I learn there are pink roses that are not meant to beautify a room or to add romantic ambiance, but to be put in some parts of streets where youngster gather, to smoke, drink, make merry or make trouble. These pink florescent roses apparently can disperse them.
It's
not that the pink rose seems detestable to them. What the pink light
does is it accentuate the defects of the skin, making young acne covered
faces look much more obvious. Two years ago, a young man in Mexico
killed a girl because her father mocked about his face so dotted with
acne. The unusual incentive has been put to practice by the Town Hall of
the city Mansfield, in England. They have installed these pink
florescent lights in subways, not with the purpose of concealing their
acne, but to discourage their drinking parties there, or creating other
noisy mischievous fooleries.
Never followed up to see whether that has brought the desired effect.
