I noticed the beginning of the "brand ambassadors" at automotive events 10 or 15 or so years ago.

Any Subaru owner could become one, unpaid, gushing over their car and handing out bling (junk).

They got some junk for free for their efforts.

The ones I asked about it seemed to have no life otherwise, and barely able to afford their vehicles.

I guess it gave them something to do, maybe some purpose to their lives?

Dove has had multiple Bud Light moments. Dove was one of the first brands to support BLM. I’ve banned Unilever products from my household since. Take a look a at Dove’s website. It is repulsive. Here are some of the images they use to sell their products.

I truly despise the push to make obesity acceptable. It advocates gluttony and sloth. Who wants to be around someone bound to the eternal reaches due to unrepentant sin? Plus, it is just gross at the most basic instinctual level. I really pity young men today looking for a decent feminine woman that isn’t fat, ugly and bat chit crazy.

Oh here’s some eye wash. This is what a woman is supposed to look like and we also know she behaves like a lady.

Somebody told me in college, a long, long time ago, of an axiom that stated: “All things beings equal, it takes more soap 🧼🧼🧼🧼 to wash a fat person than a skinny person”.

Now that I weigh more than I did in college, I must admit this may indeed be a fact.

Perhaps it was only postulated but may have been axiomatic. 🤔🤔🤔

Strange indeed.

And why nobody calls it out for the real racism that it is is beyond me.

The not-so-soft bigotry of low expectations.

Please, no pictures. Please.

I second the call. I went to the site to read the full article because I didn't hear about the first story with this "ambassador" getting a woman suspended at school. Trust me when I say it wasn't worth looking at "it".

But what I do think it is, is the typical white liberal arrogance of having to be the “savior” of people they think are beneath them.

She needs a trophy. It has to be harder than hell to get that big in only 22 years. I guess is shows her big mouth works a lot of overtime.

On the plus side (no pun intended), she did beat anorexia.

Just heard a report that obesity cuts a minimum of 10 years off of the average life span due to diabetes, heart issues, high blood pressure and other life threatening aliments.

It should not be glorified in any way whatsoever.

That said, I’ll never allow Dove soap in my home again.

Boycotts work. Ask Anheiser-Bush.

I think any board who entertains this Woke crap as a business model is kicking the hornet’s nest. As Butt Light found out.

“I hope this is Dove’s “Bud Light moment“

Unfortunately it won’t be. Everything is different in such a way that it won’t happen. Especially when it comes to the customer base that should be outraged. Half of whom broke down in tears when the Floyd videos aired.

Dove is a personal care brand owned by the London-Rotterdam consumer goods company Unilever.

Bud Light was a singular event because:

-Their customer base was in direct opposition to that person they hired to promote their beer, and

-It's very easy for people to simply pick another product in the beer aisle.

I think you are correct that this might be a tougher boycott because a lot of Dove's customer base LOVES this crap.

well, Dove seems to be trying to veer in the opposite direction to its previous actions

And even older

“How would you share soap with her?”
Could you even find the soap?
