Evolution by Dove

There’s plenty that could be said about the whole Dove “Real Beauty” campaign, certainly not all of it complimentary. And I may be the last person in North America to see this commercial, but just in case, I’m posting it as yet another piece of education about the fascist beauty standard, the wonders of photoediting, and why we shouldn’t believe photographs anymore, ever.

Thanks to Samantha for the heads up about this.

There’s also a pretty excellent parody of this ad here.
