I know a little bit about that system and it's not at all as easy as some people 'dream'. The population of the world grew slowly and hovered below one billion until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Within less than 200 years it has soared to 6.8 billion. Communism's Dreams are so well intentioned as to make them Utopian. Reality far overshadows that dream. The Russian nationalist population is less than replenishment rate of 2.1 births per female. Hopelessness in the future is the depressing factor. Alcoholism is rampant in the Russian families including lower classes because it is a refuge from reality. Free entireprise in the style of the western nations that still allow its growth, is by far the easier method of survival. Competition is supposedly an evil word in the elitist society, especially when the parents or grandparents were the source of the earnings that afford this attitude in their offspring. Generations switch living conditions all through history. Pray that this reversal does not come in your own generation...Life will be hard..to say the least.

I sent it to some of my friends as well. It's quite old I guess, but somehow I had never seen it before. Thanks for posting this. I sent it to some of my friends as well.

First time I saw it. I don't have a daughter but a 14 year old much younger sister (or almost 14, in a few days). Though at that age the industry already indoctrinated them quite a bit :( Very powerful and impressing clip! First time I saw it.

Thanks a lot. If we fail to protect our daughters, the industry will have them. Great comment Kim.
Thanks a lot.

I HAVE been talking to my daughter. For over 17 years. Through MTV, music, TV, RAP music, Youtube, computer privacy and safety, peer pressure at school, magazines...all of the constant onslaught. She attended self esteem classes for girls and walked away wondering what possible wrong did she commit, that SHE had to be taught how to combat images of girls and women who are walking skeletons? Her brothers have no such classes or pressure. All those images in the Dove ad of women going under the knife and vomitting are NOT the result of parents not having tried to warn their kids about beauty and fashion industry ads. Those images are the industry's fault and I highly resented that Dove is blaming us, warning us. If we fail to protect our daughters, they'll suffer. Give us tools. Give us support. Not blame. We didn't create this mess. Their industry did. While expertly done, the ad made me, as a mother of a daughter, angry.

Business is always business. So we all know this is an excuse to promote them product. But it also shows its hypocrisy by teaching people that other products are bad. Now people should see the truth about commercials and cosmetic products, and react on their own. But you mush recognize that this king of promotion (using educational purpose) bring much more buyers to them. So somehow it’s showing a real act (the commercials) and a hypocrite intention (that girl will buy Dove products because others are not good). Commercials….will always be just commercials. It matters who watch them and how much they trust this advertise. Thanks for comment. :) You’re right Ryan.

I think it is a very good thing what Dove is doing. It still is marketing towards their product though. That is the bottom line, not your children's self-esteem. The same company that owns Dove owns Axe deodorant. They are hypocrites. Don't be fooled. Hey.. I think it is a very good thing what Dove is doing. It still is marketing towards their product though.

The entire world is getting wilder, rather than more civilized. I hope these things help in some way. Our personal faith is strong and that helps in ways that secular society can not understand.

Putting aside the possible hypocrisy regarding their parent company and the beauty industry as a whole, it is definitely powerful... we think the music choice they made played a big role, and added our $0.02 to the conversation at our <a href="http://blog.burstlabs.com/2007/doves-onslaught-with-great-music/" rel="nofollow">music licensing blog</a>... come on by and say hi.
