This ad came out in 2017 and was blasted all over the internet for it’s obvious racism towards black people. Dove almost immediately took it down after the backlash they received. Many shared it as a display that racism, subtle or blatant, still very much exists in modern day society.

This ad is a bit more “human friendly”. Old Navy started this campaign in early 2021 for the promotion of women’s body equality. Accompanying the ads, was a series of clothing for all sizes: Lifestyle and Activewear alike.
