Tim Holt has an important blog post today on his site Intended Consequences. He shares the hypcrosity of Unilever with their videos for Dove showing girls how a plain Jane is turned into a super model and the ads the same company runs for Axe. Tim asks for teachers to discuss mixed media messages from the same company with their students. Working in a lab with elementary students, I probably won’t do that. But I will share the information with the teachers in my building and I’ll be discussing it with my own children. I think having a 17 year old daughter has made his post hit a nerve with me. I’ve shown my daughter the Dove video and helping her to accept herself is a not always easy.
