Dove "Evolution of Beauty" Ad

dove info: "For too long, beauty has been defined by narrow, stifling stereotypes. Women have told us it's time to change all that. Dove agrees. We believe real beauty comes in many shapes, sizes and ages. That is why Dove is launching the Campaign for Real Beauty. Dove's global Campaign for Real Beauty aims to change the status quo and offer in its place a broader, healthier, more democratic view of beauty. A view of beauty that all women can own and enjoy everyday."

Dove is owned by the same people that own AXE... And if you've seen the AXE ads you'd realize how hipicritical this shit is.

yeah, it is, in and of itself, a marketing tactic.

That is pretty scary however it is up to parents to raise their children with a healthy sense of self. I think Dove has taken a courageous step to expose the media's methods of creating an image of beauty that is unattainable.
