Gillette Now Including Free Manly Side Bag With Every Purchase (Satire)
Babylon Bee ^ | 1/15/2019

BOSTON, MA—As part of its new ad campaign designed to target a new, more sensitive American male, Gillette announced Tuesday that the company will be giving out a free manly pink side bag with every purchase while supplies last.

The bag will reportedly contain a copy of The Feminine Mystique and instructions on how to treat any toxic masculinity you may have come down with. To get the free bag, you must spend at least $20 on a Gillette razor or other hygienic product and mail in your man card to the company.

"We want to appeal to the modern man," Gillette spokesperson Beau Petite said. "So we're offering this extremely manly, attractive side bag for a limited time if you buy one of our really manly razor products." Petite said the side bags have many great uses. "You can store a little concealer or blush for an afternoon touch-up, your coin purse, a pair of spherical objects. Whatever you want."

Gillette's promotion reportedly launched with a whimper, as few men wanted the "manly side bags" for some reason. The company has said it is regrouping and considering offering a free man bun hair tie with every purchase instead.

This is a Brit LOTTERY commercial by the same director (1 min):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsP0W7-tEOc

She seems to really, REALLY love chubby women.

What gives..?

Are ALL lottery tix sold to fat chicks, or something..?

There is absolutely NO HINT of lottery tickets until the last 1 second of the whole ad. You would have mistaken the ad for Weight Watchers, or maybe 24 Hour Fitness.

This director is 100% about women, fatness, and women fatness.

This is the real face of the SJW director of the Gilette ad.

There’s a tiny little lottery logo in the last half second at the very end. I would have had no idea that this commercial was trying to sell lottery tickets.

I can’t believe this crap.

Everyone knows that “real men” (like in the movies) shave with a finely honed Bowie knife, bear grease or soap, and without mirrors. As for the rest of us mortal men, thank GOD for the safety razor, shaving cream, and a unbreakable mirror.

Gillette and others should stick with the one they brought to the dance. And leave the purses to the gals and wannabes.

I can’t wait until the lawsuits caused by misuse of product due to lack of fail proof instructions (translated into hundreds of languages for the many cultures of this world), health warnings, etc. begin piling up in the courts.

Of course the snowflakes and other morons are soo bumf**ked they would attempt to use a safety razor to “safely” slash a wrist or circumcise a penis.

Look for a new book: Safety Razors for Dummies at your local bookstore or Library.

Then ask yourself what would you do if your life was being threatened and all you had was a razor in your purse to defend yourself? Yep, I thought so... which is a good reason to get a firearm.

Before I forget, my Grandpa used a straight razor and a leather strap, Grandma’s lye soap (nasty stuff), a old broken mirror, and lots of bandaids/alum to stop the bleeding. Talk about the misuse of product. I still felt his hurt...AND the leather strap which my father inherited and misused on my backside.

To show respect for its new demasculinized customers, Gillette has introduced three THRILLING new lines of razors: The Castrato, the Eunuch, and the Gelded. All feature flimsy little blades for stringy little beards. Available in pink, lavender, and chartreuse!
