Melissa and I have both been posting crankily about the evils of Unilever, in the face of breathlessly fawning blogospheric viral-marketing over the “Onslaught” ad.
Now, via Shakesville, comes this inevitable mashup of Axe/Lynx and Dove ads.
If anyone out there is a video editing wiz, I’d love to see one including Unilever’s ads for Slim-fast and skin whitening products, too.
Lauredhel is an Australian woman and mother with a disability. She blogs about social justice, reproductive justice, freedom from violence, the use and misuse of language, medical science, being disabled, her garden, and whatever else pops into her head.
Yeah, I was really disappointed the day I realized Dove and Axe were owned by the same company. It makes me sad, not only that these companies attempt to manipulate women with their lies, but that they are continuing to fall for it. *sigh*

Oh RIGHT ON. That would be superb.

That totally makes me wish that I knew how to edit!
