Reality Check: Beauty, Women, Distortions

by Timberry on May 2, 2009

I picked this up browsing Seth Godin’s recent post over the weekend. He had it here, as part of a riff on the new world of commercial advertising on youtube. Good post too, but I ended up thinking this Dove commercial on youtube deserves special attention.

(If you don’t see the video, click here for the Youtube source.)

I assume you’re aware of how much we distort the supposedly ideal beauty in women. I am. But we forget. This is a bad thing, it hurts people, both women and men, and we should remind ourselves frequently.
