What is “Beauty”? March 20, 2008

Evolution of Beauty and its parody, Slob Evolution.

Jokes aside, the commercial and it’s parody brings up some important points. Dove’s campaign for “real beauty” shows how models don’t roll out of bed looking beautiful. It takes a long time to make that end poster, and the commercial shows how unrealistic that “beauty” is. It’s pretty much unnatural and created by computers – therefore, we shouldn’t feel bad about ourselves if we don’t “look that way”.

However, since that commercial is created by Dove, a corporation whose purpose is to make profit, we have to wonder, is this just a way to sell their bars of soap?? What are their real intentions?

At least the parody is hilarious :)
