Dove apologizes for a social media post


Dove apologizes for a social media post that the company says "missed the mark". Dove took down the ad Sunday and posted an apology on Twitter. 


The offending ad was a 3-second GIF hawking Dove body wash representing black women in GIF that was posted Friday to the brand's Facebook page. It was taken down Saturday with the line "Ready for a Dove Shower?". It shows a looping image of a black woman removing a dark brown t-shirt to reveal a white woman. She then removes her beige t-shirt to show a third woman.

Image
The Scientific Reason We Fall In Love with Our Polar Opposite: We're all pretty familiar with the term "opposites attract" . It's practically a major story line in most romance books and movies; people who have next to nothing in common fall in love and live happily ever after. But even though Hollywood makes it seem like this is the norm, just how true is that for us?
