A marketing campaign disguised as a Public Service Announcement. A series of ads by Dove/Unilever featuring several thick-waisted, moderately attractive women that are supposed to change the face of beauty, er, sell lots of soap. Mainly appeal to insecure, middle class female bloggers who can't deal with the fact that there are women out there who are thinner and prettier than themselves or their overindulged daughters. The revelation that many of these ads had been heavily airbrushed has pretty much brought this nonsense to an end.
Laura: I bought the Dove firming cream because the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty is trying to make women love their bodies as they are.
Caitlin: If our bodies are beautiful as they are, why do we need firming cream?

Beavis: My guidance counselor said that same thing, you know, that I don’t have to feel like a waste of space, but when Katy Perry says it, and she has fireworks coming out her boobs, it kind of uh, kind of gives me a special feeling, you know what I’m saying?
Butthead: Yeah, except Katy Perry’s not talking about you Beavis. She’s talking about that Dove model by the pool.

Get the Doved mug.A fanfic tag that warns you to take the other tags seriously. For example, if one tag says 'non-con', expect non-con. Don't think, 'ah, it's probably just dub-con.' If the tags say 'organ harvesting', expect literal organ harvesting. Don't take it as a joke or exaggeration. You were warned.
Very commonly misunderstood as a general warning of bad things to come, because it's so often used beside more serious tags, when really it's a specific warning not to take the other tags lightly.
(Originally comes from the TV show Arrested Development, referencing a scene in which the character Michael Bluth finds a bag in the fridge that says DEAD DOVE, DO NOT EAT. He opens the bag anyway, before wincing, and saying, 'well, I don't know what I expected..')
