DECEIVER MADNESS Round 1: Sudsy Insincerity vs. Beefy Blowhardiness

activists-headerd6-dove-baldwin

Unilever/Dove vs. Alec Baldwin. One has done so much to entertain us and improve our lives. The other is Alec Baldwin.

deceivermadnesslogo091

Unilever needs to stick to selling soap and quit trying to make its Dove customers feel better about themselves. “Uncover your real beauty by making yourself look different! Oh, and it’s okay to be a little chunky, but we’ll Photoshop you anyway.” I just need to get the dirt off this, okay? You got something that’ll help me out?

Over the years, Alec Baldwin has transitioned from leading man to leading cause of heart disease, but he’s never given up trying to boss people around. The peaceloving porker wants the government to keep your kids from getting fat. He also wants to spare them the pain of marrying Kim Basinger and starring in The Shadow. And don’t even get me started about the leather seats in his speedboat. (I guess “Meat Your Meat” doesn’t apply to the outside of the cow.)

This poll — and today’s seven other Round 1 matchups — will be open for 24 hours. Updated Brackets will be posted tomorrow.

    Alec Baldwin is nothing but a whinny whore who want to use tax-payer money for his cause. Dove, on the other hand is just a private company selling soap by any way they can find. Alec got my vote.

  2. 2 Chronic Malanga Mar 12th, 2009 at 9:36 am

    Another close one. However, Dove wins my vote because they are so blatantly hypocritical selling beauty products that we presumably don’t need because we are all beautiful… well, unless they can photoshop you and bleach your ethnic skin.

  3. 3 Carlo Mar 12th, 2009 at 9:36 am

    Alec may get the upset here, but I went with Unilever. Don’t they own Ben & Jerry’s? That would make a great tie-in for their self-esteem campaign: “Love yourself, but you’re fat and ugly so eat some ice cream.”

  4. 4 angry army wife Mar 12th, 2009 at 9:48 am

    Alec, hands down. No comparison.

  5. 5 bigmama Mar 12th, 2009 at 9:50 am

    Alec just because he’s louder and more annoying, though not by much.

  6. 6 Beige Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:18 am

    Baldwin. Because big as Unilever is, Baldwin is a blowsier target by far. And he’s also more obnoxious, and he contributes nothing to society, while I love, love, LOVE creamy Dove lather. Mmmmmmmmm…

  7. 7 Saro Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:28 am

    Alec is a total douche, and I agree with Beige, I just couldn’t vote against such foaming moisture…

  8. 8 D---- Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:35 am

    Alec because I despise him…yes it’s personal

  9. 9 Habanada Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:36 am

    Baldwin. Because he has infiltrated my Hulu experience and his soul-sucking eyes make me weep blood every time I try to watch Psych now!

  10. 10 Beige Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:38 am

    I hope Baldwin wins, because he is a THOUGHTLESS, INCONSIDERATE LITTLE PIG, and he has insulted us FOR THE LAST TIME.

  11. 11 Swede0319 Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:50 am

    Baldwin. Because he is funny on 30 Rock.

  12. 12 MrsCman Mar 12th, 2009 at 11:14 am

    Baldwin – I expect beauty companies to lie to us. If we were all “good enough” we wouldn’t need them.

  13. 13 Nivek Mar 12th, 2009 at 11:55 am

    Baldwin.

    Gary Johnston: “We’re dicks! We’re reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole.”

    (what a great movie…)

  14. 14 Anna Mar 12th, 2009 at 11:58 am

    Voted for Unilever – I love Alec too much in 30 Rock – sorry /shrug

  15. 15 Runolfr Mar 12th, 2009 at 12:12 pm

    Alec, just for the Hulu commercial.

  16. 16 jenn Mar 12th, 2009 at 12:49 pm

    Unilever/Dove – Baldwin seems self-aware. He know he is a dick. Dove acts like they are doing women a favour

  17. 17 heather Mar 12th, 2009 at 1:14 pm

    Unilever/Dove… because they actually had me going for a while… grrr

  18. 18 Minnow Mar 12th, 2009 at 1:32 pm

    Alec, because I took him at his word when he promised to move to Canada.

  19. 19 Reed Mar 12th, 2009 at 1:32 pm

    I’m going with Dove! I LOVED their campaign! Real women, real bodies. I was so pissed when I found out they photoshop.

  20. 20 StrawberryGirl Mar 12th, 2009 at 1:56 pm

    Another tough call.

  21. 21 LabRat Mar 12th, 2009 at 1:59 pm

    Dove. How dissapointing that their “real women” were to real for the ads.

  22. 22 California Dave Mar 12th, 2009 at 2:00 pm

    Baldwin, but it was close.

  23. 23 kbug61 Mar 12th, 2009 at 2:18 pm

    I went with Dove because (and I know I’m in the minority here) I thought that message to his daughter rocked and was probably exactly what she deserved. More fathers need to have that same talk with their bratty kids.

  24. 24 luscious_t Mar 12th, 2009 at 2:19 pm

    The Dove deception is probably worse but I have to go with the blowhard.

  25. 25 X Mar 12th, 2009 at 2:38 pm

    baldwin in an upset. dove is seeded too high.

    baldwins are homunculi

  26. 26 Crow Jane Mar 12th, 2009 at 2:52 pm

    Dove is just doing what any company does. Alec by a mile.

  27. 27 Fortunate Son Mar 12th, 2009 at 2:54 pm

    I like Baldwin much more back when he was skinny.

    Fat Baldwin just seems too entitled.

  28. 28 cattirun Mar 12th, 2009 at 3:03 pm

    dove…. because true beauty hides under several hours and layers of air brushing and liquify

  29. 29 Rocco Lore Mar 12th, 2009 at 3:11 pm

    I hate Alec Baldwin with a passion. Remember, this guy said he would move to France after the 2000 elections. However, I went with Dove because any company that brags about true beauty while selling skin lightening cream in the Middle East and India is truly disgusting.

  30. 30 Kristine Mar 12th, 2009 at 4:08 pm

    Hahahaha, Beige wins. I too voted for Alec.

  31. 31 The Irish Mar 12th, 2009 at 4:15 pm

    I’m still bitter about how Alec Baldwin almost caused the world to end by siding with Kim Jong Ill against a US Task Force trying to stop 9/11 x 1000

  32. 32 Pastafarian Mar 12th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    Alec gets my vote. I’ll let “BIG CORPORATIONS” get away with murder if it affords me a comfortable lifestyle I enjoy, and so richly deserve.

  33. 33 Scott F. Mar 12th, 2009 at 5:02 pm

    Baldwin: at least Dove produces something of value to society.

  34. 34 Nick Mar 12th, 2009 at 6:21 pm

    Baldwin. Dove just has a stupid advertising gimmick here.

  35. 35 Christine Mar 12th, 2009 at 7:40 pm

    Alec.

  36. 36 californiaflame Mar 12th, 2009 at 8:00 pm

    Dove, those lying lame-ass fakers. Plus Alec can be a dick in my bed anytime.

  37. 37 Matt Mar 12th, 2009 at 8:01 pm

    Baldwin – he could have been double-listed as a douchebag. . .

  38. 38 Marc Mar 12th, 2009 at 8:36 pm

    Remember…you can’t spell “total hypocrite” without A-L-E-C! This poor excuse for a human being won’t be winning any Daddy of the Year awards…might as well have a shot at the hypocrite!

  39. 39 k Mar 12th, 2009 at 8:53 pm

    Dove. I hate their line of overpriced products…sure, some of them are nice, but who can afford $5+ for body wash? And the airbrushing of the models was the last staw. We love you as you are, except when we don’t.

    And I loved “The Shadow”! Alec was a hot piece back then. Now he’s several hot pieces. But that’s okay with me…as long as he doesn’t open his mouth. Man, he ruins it when he starts talking.

  40. 40 k80 Mar 12th, 2009 at 9:33 pm

    Dove! Those bastards!

  41. 41 Hjay Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:12 pm

    I like Dove soap on my sensitive skin, but I doubt that I would like Mr. Baldwin on my skin.

  42. 42 Rocko Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:42 pm

    Technically Dove is the bigger hypocrite here but Alec never left the States if I recall. He’ll always have a special place in my hypocrite shelf for that. He gets my vote.

  43. 43 randomstalker Mar 12th, 2009 at 11:19 pm

    Dove, hands down. Because there are millions of women with an already low self esteem involved.

  44. 44 Matt Mar 12th, 2009 at 11:49 pm

    I picked Alec Baldwin. He called his daughter a little pig.

  45. 45 Koka Mar 13th, 2009 at 12:29 am

    Had to give it to Baldwin………I hate anyone who is an actor who tries to tell me how I should live my life. I already got a husband that does that, thanks. Don’t need a nutcase on tv doing the same. Oh wait, I can mute the nutcase.

  46. 46 Nati Mar 13th, 2009 at 1:07 am

    I voted for Dove. Those “love your fat” ads are incredibly annoying. Plus, “it’s okay to be fat” is not the message that should be being sent to the fattest nation on the planet.

  47. 47 kp Mar 13th, 2009 at 2:49 am

    For lack of anything better to say:

    FUCK YOU BADLWIN! You FAT PIG!

  48. 48 Jill Mar 13th, 2009 at 9:24 am

    I went with Alec, because I just don’t like him.
