Pond’s Age Miracle commercial
This is a follow up to my last Pond’s Age Miracle post. That post has become number one in Google in the search for Pond’s Age Miracle. It seems there are a lot of women enticed to buy this product because as the commercials say - it only takes 7 days for a miracle to happen (duhh!). I have discovered several other more commercials throughout the world, in different languages that do not do a good job of portraying beauty. Although the ads are varying, they all have one message in common - use the product and you will become a beauty, goddess, sex object, success. I really hate these ads.
Do you really want to be the type who would cause such madness and destructiveness in other people?
More of Pond’s commercials here.
We should have more of those real beauty campaigns. Like the one that Dove has. Dove campaigns for real beauty and although I have my concerns regarding their fund called - the self-esteem fund - the messages their ads have are real and true and honest.
The irony of it all is that both these brands are owned by only one company, Unilever.
Tsk tsk.

unfortunately sa Pilipinas if you look pretty and are a mestiza you get away with almost anything. They have it easy. They forgive you if you don’t submit your projects on time. In school, teachers are biased towards the prettier people. security guards follow you if you don’t look nice enough.
If you are not blessed with white skin, if you don’t look pretty, you have to work 100 times as hard and still get the short end of the stick. If you demand what’s due you, people tend to look at you from head to toe. It’s the reality. Look at the people who populate the the higher ranks of companies. The pretty ones get all the breaks. Advertisers exploit this reality in our society.
