Dove Ad Gone Horribly Wrong
Have you ever looked at a horrible mess and wondered, "who came up with this"? Then think, "big things come in small packages". I got that from a small joke book.
Controversy is a dumb thing and topics like this don't interest me the slightest. I just glance at it then shrug is off, so I can't really say much except that I personally don't really care that much about what people say about this. I see this and I think "what a dumb move they have made", which is the type of attitude people should have toward this now I'm not saying this means this is a good friendly ad, just that next time you make an ad like this, make it a bit less; like this. If they wanted to give a CLEAN message about their product (That was a pun), they could have done something that involves a woman washing her leg with passion, or someone holding the product and just looking intensely into the camera. It's simple, not controversial, and pleasing to the eye.
People are quick to judge a book by it's cover saying things like; "that's racist", "this ad is dumb and stinks", "will I ever find love" and other things. This should be one of those things people should ignore and look at the bright side of life, like old folks. Besides, this will be forgotten after a few days like my memories for example. All I'm saying is people should learn to forgive and forget. I try to drink coke to forget but I always remember. So say what you want about this, it won't matter in the end, however remember this, money can buy you many things; food, shelter, friends, DOVE PRODUCTS, but it can't buy love.

Thank you Christan for sharing your thoughts on the "Dove Ad gone horribly wrong" topic.
ReplyDeleteI can see a general theme in your blog posts that can be seen as "forgive and forget, but mostly forget". Which is not a bad thing. That tells a lot about the kind of person you are. It shows that you are a laid back person who just enjoys life while it lasts. After reading this, my thoughts on the dove ad have turned tides. I can agree that this ad is something that people will probably forget about in a few days.
Overall, everyone should forgive and forget on dove. After all, they're just trying to sell a product.
Christan your opinion does seem like you don't care but I see there is a message you are trying to say. There are way too many problems right now because it seems people want to make problems where problems were never meant to exist. Using this ad as an example you were right to ask what the fuss was about. If people actually watched the ad for a few more seconds you see many more ethnicities with switching into different skin toned shirts. The ad was very inclusive but people say something they thought was racist and started calling Dove out for it which begs the question who are the real racists?
