You know, I've seen that a couple times before, and it STILL knocks me out.

Yeah, I'm thinking I should post the "making of" video. It doesn't have the same impact, of course, but it's interesting.

Also the (more) link has plenty of credits and discussion.

I have a lot of problems with Dove's "real beauty" campaign (not least of which is that it's a CORPORATE AD CAMPAIGN trying to capitalize on the body politics movement)

Yeah, I'm with you there.

wow. a string of pictures is worth even more words, clearly. i've attempted to have conversations with people -- mostly men who have exaggerated views on what "attractiveness" means in women -- and it gets nowhere. now i know that the next thing to try is showing them this little video (not that i think it will necessarily have any effect, either).

It's certainly worth a try, but my suspicion is that it won't have any effect, either.

Rationalization is a powerful thing.
