Take our PollKing of Bop
Do you think Sammy Sosa is suffering from the same skin disorder as the late Michael Jackson?
Yes, it sure looks like it from that photo
No, it's just the skin rejuvenation process or the bright lighting

The Dominican-born retired MLB slugger's skin tone appeared profoundly pale last week, prompting a whirl of Internet rumors that he suffers from the same dermatological disorder that whitewashed the face of the late King of Pop.
A friend of Sosa claimed the retired outfielder has simply been cleansing his skin.
"He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin," Chicago Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis told the Chicago Tribune. "He was surprised he came out looking so white."
The traditionally tan Sosa, 40, was photographed jarringly pale Nov. 4 at an awards event in Las Vegas, leading to suggestions he has Vitiligo.
Some suspected his creamy complexion is tied to purported steroid use. Sosa, who hit 609 career home runs, was reportedly included in the list of 103 players who failed a voluntary drug test in 2003.
As speculations ran rampant, Polihronis insisted the camera added 10 units of brightness.
"People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can't believe it is such a big deal," she said. "He is not trying to be Michael Jackson."

He has been doing more than cleansing his skin. He look crazy!!!! Look's like he had a nose job too and lips. But it could just be the photo. These people get bored with their $$$$$ and start adventuring and messing with the body.

Someone else pointed that out online. That isht is DANGEROUS if he is messing with chemicals. He's going to have ongoing issues with his skin. I need to have some spots removed from my face, and I'm terrified of the chemicals, but it's in small spots. I can't imagine trying to redo my entire body.
A god damned shame! I always see women that tan waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much and want to cry for them and their loss of beautiful, God given skin, but this shit is offensive.
