“This is the new depiction of Dove beauty,” said Unilever marketing executive Marsha Rainwater. “Who wants to look at majestic, graceful doves and thin, statuesque women when you can buy products with fat manatees that have morbidly obese spokesmodels endorsing them? Our thoughts exactly.”

The company made headlines last week when it announced it was partnering with 400-pound Black Lives Matter activist Zyahna Bryant to portray a more inclusive stance on body image. “It helps score us some ‘woke points,'” explained Rainwater.
