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

Thank you.

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.

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.

You're welcome! Glad you appreciated it.

Sure.

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.
