Since the award winning Real Sketches ad, there have a been a couple of parodies on the subject, like the Dove Real Beauty Sketches Men
But what deserves a memorable mention is the Dove Real Beauty Mirror Test by Above Average Productions, which explicitly challenges the way women are portrayed in the popular Dove campaigns by Ogilvy & Mather Brazil.
The video aims to show a more realistic approach to women's self- perception as well as their natural reactions to seeing themselves in the mirror. Even though a bit grotesque itself, the video raises some good points about Dove's overly melodramatic and sometimes contradictory campaigns about women and their self-esteem. It also shows that women are human beings with intellect, not just body issues.
