If you look closely, you will see that Unilever, Dove's parent company, also owns Axe products, so that hypocrisy that arises is too much too handle. that's what i think, anyway. in my opinion, i think it was solely a great marketing stragety on Dove’s part to make its competitors the “bad guys”, thus earning more profits themselves.

First off, that video gave me a cold chill up my spine.

Freakingly well done, isn’t it?

Secondly, I’m now officially President of the Guilherme Fan Club. (Can’t we clone you?)

…as long as the boys are continuing to be brainwashed to think that ‘cadavarous’ is beautiful …

Yes, boys, but lets us not forget that the boys just learned this by example, so did the girls. Is the fashion industry that creates the stereotype. The average person can’t afford to transgrede to cadavarous beauty individually.

Secondly, I'm now officially President of the Guilherme Fan Club. (Can't we clone you?) Because you're absolutely right. We can talk to girls til we all turn blue, but as long as the boys are continuing to be brainwashed to think that 'cadavarous' is beautiful (and the only possible standard of beauty), there's no hope of raising the next generation to be free of these appalling self-esteem issues that lurk in the back of every woman's mind, ready to sabotage... Onslaught, indeed. It'll take both genders to see the effects of advertising for what they are, to creat any meaningful change. First off, that video gave me a cold chill up my spine.

Indeed, I think is pretty much like that all around: electronics, cars, you name it. I think Dove is giving a great example, that is, succeeding by really saying something for others and is not lessened anyhow by the fact that they are making huge money with it, doing something for others doesn't mean being deprived of something yourself. And I hope this example is followed even outside the beauty industry. @Patricia - Thanks!

Do they sell what u want to buy, or do we buy what they want to sell??? This is the "tostines" secret :P Great post Gui! :) It’s really amazing to see a man getting touched by this kind of advertisement and writing about it! :)
