Axe and Dove...

The freaking Bow Chicka Wah Wahs are the most annoying people to ever grace the Internet. Good Lord.

As frustrated as I get with our cultural definition of beauty, when I see things like the Axe Bow Chicka Wah Wahs video, I know that I'm not crazy. I have a hard time putting my words together to explain how ridiculous and messed up things are today. How backwards we are as a result of what the media tells us is beautiful, and important, and desirable.

When I saw the Dove video - That it supported a cause called the Dove Self Esteem Fund, etc, I applauded them for putting out such an amazing message - one that people, especially women, really need to see.

I was infuriated when I found out Dove and Axe are owned by the same company. Basically, Dove wants you to think they've got a good conscious and they're on board with questioning what the ad industry tells girls they should look like, but really... they are trying to capitalize on that viewpoint, which they obviously do not hold. GRRRRR. I almost think they're worse than the some of the immoral, tacky advertisers who blatantly only produce media with scantily clad women, fake breasts, and suggestive poses...
