Dove's Viral Video Sparks Discussion, and Other Top Comments
  1. What do Dove soap, Korean pop star Psy, and BASE jumping all have in common?
  2. They all scored viral video hits this week and were the subject of some of our most-discussed stories.

  • In this week's Top Comments, readers debate the motives behind the viral video ad that Dove released on YouTube this past Monday.
  • In the video, a former forensic artist for the San Jose, California police department sketches two portraits of women without knowing what they look like. The first sketch he creates based on how the women describe their own features.
  • The second, based on someone else's description. The results are extremely powerful, and the video spread like wildfire across Facebook, Twitter, and StumbleUpon.
  • While many were touched by the video's message, many people also decried Dove's parent company, Unilever, of being hypocritical in its marketing strategies.
