There's a (vitriolic) write up on "The Last Psychiatrist" blog which generalizes this to the idea of the "The Long Con" by discussing the Dove Beauty campaign [0]. It's a more thorough write-up, in part because The Last Psychiatrist says things the NYT can't, but also because they diverge off to examine why this marketing works and where else it's applied.
