"The public is not ready to see that," one post noted; another called the ads "a little too vivid." What many think is beautiful and refreshing, others find jarring and offensive. "The ad isn't pretty," says Patricia Pao, CEO of the Pao Principle, a marketing consulting firm in New York City. "Dove is right that we don't want to look 25 when...
