Dove Real Beauty Sketches

A few months back, Dove had a promo video out there addressing the issue of women's often skewed perception of their appearance. I understand what their intent was and the message it was supposed to convey but I personally found the video annoying and vapid in its presentation. As is often the case, where I'm being led isn't where I usually end up. The media is getting sloppy!

Apparently I wasn't alone in rolling my eyes because someone came along and produced a video parody using men instead of women. Now THIS I like!! So funny!

There's an element of truth to both of them, it's just that I had a hard time with the first one for several reasons.

"My chin sticks out." Please. Wake me when it's over!
