I thought of it and Unilever the moment I saw this post! I knew the Dove Real Beauty campaign was too good to be true. And Fair and Lovely isn't just marketed toward women - there's one for men too. I guess real beauty doesn't extend to darker skin, just body size! I'm truly glad and thankful someone is making sure people know and don't assume Dove is 100% clean on the advertising front. This reminds me of BMW's short films http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hire. There was one centered on a woman being abused but I wasn't fooled into thinking BMW gave two sh*ts about issues beyond sales. Keep up the good work!

Until those of us who fully buy into the gender binary stop fitting into someone else's definition of who we're supposed to be move past that... we all lose. Those who force themselves into the box aren't allowed to be and accept who they are, and those outside the box are marginalized and made to feel inferior. In short, we all lose... Thanks for shedding some light! Well said Ted… that last paragraph was perfect!

It's rare to find companies that don't ever use sex to sell. This is the first time I’ve seen these commercials. It’s rare to find companies that don’t ever use sex to sell.

I've recently interviewed brewers at Independence and Real Ale and their devotion to creating quality products is astounding. We have some great craft breweries in the state of Texas, but for its size it seems that we're lagging behind other states. Everyone reading, please support local brew! Great post!
