Commercial Archive has an interesting post about the Dove campaign, the campaign we continue to love. Apparently some pro-family group is now boycotting Dove in protest of their campaign's recent nudity. Oh and shrinks are saying any images of nude women are "contributing to the sexualization of women as a commercial tool, as well as exposing children to adult nudity."
I say, good for Dove for geting people talking about their campaign, and, get over it people. Actually, hopefully they'll keep blathering about it so the campaign maintains momentum.
I keep wondering when a woman will commit the ultimate sin and criticize the campaign. Rosie O'Donnell perhaps? That would make this "dialogue" actually interesting. If Elisabeth Hasselbeck says something nice about the campaign that might set off the fireworks.
I was just wondering, why do they need to pose in nude?

OMG - sexualized? Really? I don't think so. This is a sexualized advertising image: http://regmedia.co.uk/2005/05/24/paris_hilton.jpg
The women who appear in the current Dove Pro Age ad are hardly sexualized. Unclothed, yes - sex objects that might warp teen sensiblities? NEVER.
