I read and agreed with that article and I *really* didn't like the Dove beauty video. But I didn't want to rain on the parade of everyone in the other thread by posting it.
My issues with Dove's ad:
No forensic artist can make a sketch simply based off a person's verbal description - they usually use reference images of noses, etc.
Who knows exactly what their face looks like? I could never describe my face in that much detail unless I was looking at a mirror.
Ok, fine, we're more beautiful than we think we are, but since when is it required to be beautiful? If one were "ugly", is that person any less worthy of existence/respect? Moreover, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - once you know someone, their inner beauty (or lack thereof) informs your perception of their outer beauty. Also, I would have found it much more convincing if they'd shown beauty from the POV of multiple cultures, with a wide range of ages.
