 Tags: gender, bodies, media, ideal beauty, image, representation, sexism, self esteem, 00 to 05 mins Year: 2006 Length: 1:15 Access: YouTube Summary: The caption under this clip reads, "Reginald Pike's Yael Staav takes us from model to billboard in under 60 seconds in this impressive spot from Dove." This clip is a useful illustration of the way the media manipulates images of models--especially women--with make-up, lighting, and digital technology. The clip powerfully illustrates the ability of the media to set unrealistic standards of feminine beauty. Submitted By: Lester Andrist

While I applaud the message in this video, I am stunned by Unilever's apparent hipocrisy in advertising. The mint klondike commercial specifically shows that wives aren't worth listening to, and if you suffer 5 seconds of their banal talking you get rewarded by ice cream and dancing women. Not what I would call a unified approach to socially reponsible messaging... Something tells me the ads for true beauty is a money grab.

Unilever also shill the Axe brand (named Lynx in the Pacific region) of deodorants. All advertising of that brand has been blatantly sexist and perpetuates the 'beauty' ideals the dove ads attempt make more palatable. A more appropriate tag line would be, "Talk to your daughter before Unilever does."

Terrible blatant example of when social issues become new marketing opportunities- harrowing!

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him Leave a Reply. |
