>>905 Thank you for very detailed explanation. Because there's no such campaign in Japan and I'm not overweight, I couldn't exactly imagine such situation. But I can say that creator of the commercial and sponsor of the commercial are not the same. Both motive are different. When somebody posted the DOVE video to YouTube, distribution of the video switched over from nationwide to worldwide. But DOVE is not running a global campaign. Sponser's influence has comparatively weakened.
I don't understand a meaning of the "real people" what DOVE thinks about... But I understood that American was fool for the word "real people." I think that "real people" is a person who has true self-esteem.
Probably overweight person watches you as a Barbie Doll. It's understandable. They judge you only by appearances. Because you have been posted many video on YouTube and sent message to 2ch, we all know you are smart and have a guts. I think, you have found a way to grow with true self-esteem. (Sorry, I am a bit obsessed by self-esteem theme.)
I kind of dislike overweight person. Perhaps some of them can't control oneself. They may have under the influenced of some gourmet programs on TV. Whoever "equating being overweight with being real" are already brainwashed. I just remember a sentence from some book. "If one becomes totally immersed in any particular facet of life, one cannot help but absorb that facet."
