Dove has issued a statement apologising after one of their social media adverts went viral for all the wrong reasons. Good enough response?

This Dove saga is one of the most mind-boggling acts of stupidity on the part of the cosmetics giant. One has to wonder how that advert even got made let alone how the concept was pitched in a meeting and no one said anything.
It all started when a video was posted to the companies American Facebook page. It showed a black woman taking off her t-shirt, using the product and then turning into a white woman.
ADVERTISING
After social media erupted across the globe, Dove deleted the advert and have since issued a statement admitting that it got things completely wrong.
The brand said that it had “missed the mark” with regards to accurately representing women of colour. They apologised for any offence caused and stated that the company does not condone any activity or imagery that insults any audience.
While the advert was deleted quickly, we all know that nothing can ever really disappear from the internet.
Us South Africans also had a lot to say about the Dove disaster, none of it looks like its going to help the company’s soap sales anytime soon.
#DoveMustFall began trending as South Africans vowed to no longer buy the brand’s products.
Some even took shots at Dove through humorous skits showing just how ridiculous the advert really is.

Vey sudden was me,born again today

                                             Very sudden was me,born again today I thought I was disgusted by them and  but I'm not.They are so scared of some people in this time that they don't really care of fellow citizens and partners to say I'm just  a person.That I only care about myself but,I'm not  strange and people are even stranger in the effect of something that is there,like a problem or circumstances that is there.Can we beat it or can we just look at it and stare at it. Or just let it go cause where do we go otherwise,do i shrug my shouldered and say goodbye or who do we tell other wise. Like I'm saying I'm nothing in this case like me I'm not said in this matter of time too forget there as anything is possible.I don't know anything is...

                           My year so far My year so far was so rediculous to sumber. That I can only rely on the concentrate of my name which is nothing. To some it may sound funny but its not the case in the delirium in the case of me its nothing. But its the fact in Africa to stay in the case of nothing most of the time and its like a sin to just stay here and not say travel in the case of throwing my own intros in this place.it is so night antis p[laceto say I'm there sick of it is outright steady to say its not a place of boredom is necessary.`to state that things are not fair is comp[licit in the case of them in the case of me it os nothing to say that `I'm just in the case of the matter in the case of the study of the next thing.
