Unilever wants ladies to fret over unsightly pits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last night’s Colbert Report had a hilarious, eye-opening segment about a new Unilever campaign.<\/h3>\n

As Colbert points out, part of the way the beauty industry sells to women is by playing on our insecurities<\/a>. When that well seems to be running dry, they invent brand new things women should feel insecure about. This might sound like exaggeration, but check out the segment:<\/p>\n

This campaign seems a little bit over the top, but I think it highlights what the beauty industry has been doing for decades. High five to Stephen Colbert for calling them out!<\/p>\n

Have you guys run across any other blatant campaigns to play on our insecurities? Share away in the comments!<\/strong><\/p>\n
