Cameroonians are creative. Each day, people reflect on how to satisfy certain needs. It is in this process that new businesses pop up. The most recent in the line is the introduction of webcams in cyber cafés. The device permits those in communication to see themselves as they chat.

But what is absurd and fishy, to an extent, is the place in which the webcams are installed. Virtually all of them are mounted in little private booths, popularly referred to as the "rose rooms". Why this secrecy, some people might ask? We got the answer for you. The problem is with what the cameras are intended to film. Do not be fooled that they are only meant for the broad smiles or appealing faces of these pretty damsels, cum webcam maniacs. They are destined for the whole "package".

Yes package. Because at the other end are people in quest of a whole; not just a static partial view. And that is where the "rose" issue comes in. In effect, the webcam booths are considered as love nests. With the webcam, the guy on the other end can easily verify and re-verify all the contours, etc. The lady, on her part, will see, for real what awaits her. No more room for blind deals where people vamoose at the sight of their Internet lovers. What you see is what you will get!
