More on axing the dove

Why has the latest iteration of the Dove campaign generated more of a backlash and more accusations of hypocrisy than previous versions? David Taylor's theory (here) is that the latest campaign has gone a step too far and climbed too high up the brand ladder, too far away from the product itself.

Or, the new Dove campaign has more of a corporate than a product perspective and people are, therefore, judging the campaign at this higher level where they find the disconnect between this message and those for other products more difficult to accept.
