And yet no one appreciates our efforts to show some beauty in this disgusting world, and by the way Dove sucks they're trying to get us out of the business.

This is just mind-boggling. I watched the video 3 times in a row to be able to fully comprehend the change. True I knew that women's images in ads and mags get brushed, but I never imagined it is to this extent. No one claims that the finished product is not more appealing to the eye, but the whole point is that it is fake. The problem comes when men and women hold these fake images as ideals to strive for. It is devilish brain washing, and unfortunately many women are resorting to plastic surgery in real life to achieve what photoshop does. The results are many times freakish. Yaaaah!
