Instead of making a "Hi, I'm a pretty white girl, don't you wish you looked like me?" ad, which is dull but safe and effective if taken as directed, they tried for some kind of Rainbow Models of Benetton effect. But they didn't realize that race is kryptonite, only blacks can handle it safely. We don't want your fucking condescension. We want your job, your car, your laptop, your phone and the house you live in.

The idea is to depict a shared woman's need for Dove products.

True and bad. But who could believe the alternative?"<br /><br />Me for one. Seems that after actually looking at the video instead of just the out-of-context two screen shots, then going back to qualify what you said and soften your own remarks, you at least seem to be leaning toward the alternative yourself. It's a dumb ad, but it's not a not-so-vaguely racist ad by any stretch of the imagination for anyone who is not already predisposed to finding racism everywhere. jaydubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114209278374751401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-40202855554703768232017-10-09T06:36:11.921-05:002017-10-09T06:36:11.921-05:00THE AD IS A VIDEO.
