Racist or ridiculous?


The pic above is taken from a new print ad for Dove Visible Care.

It's a body wash designed for use in the shower.

The ad in question states that "You'll see more visibly beautiful skin in one just week".

Hence the Before and After headline.

Sadly some people with nothing better to do whipped up a ridiculous racism storm over the ad.

Why?

Good question.

Their reasoning is that the girl under Before is black and the one under After is white.

Which is true. But still.

Much ado about nothing I reckon. What about you?

Is this ad intentionally racist?
Absolutely
Mmm..Not sure
No way!
