Just Say No to Dove

No one dresses up as Requiem for a Dream characters for Halloween, either because not enough grandmas do cosplay (a shame, really) or because cutting off your own arm for a costume is going a wee bit too far.

But one person who's a huge fan of Requiem for a Dream works in Dove's marketing department. (Dove the makers of soap-like soap products, not the makers of soap-like chocolate.) In 2008, Dove's "Go Fresh" marketing campaign featured a woman who was really excited about her body wash. The style of the ad, especially the dilated pupils, mimics Aronofsky's technique when he shows his characters getting high. (Source)

Hmm. Maybe the FDA should look into the addictive nature of body wash?
