This is why I shop at dollar tree more and more often. Screw paying the upfront full price for stuff. For Christmas I buy on auction a pallet of the Target returns and seel it back on ebay...

[Sirius Lee]

I switched to Bulldog the day the homo ad was released. Will never go back to Jill-ette.

[a fool in paradise]

The real Black outrage at the NFL was about not enough black people in the office jobs. They were threatening a viewer black-out boycott.

Check youtube postings from black activists.

I use a Bic single blade. All good until we have reason to bash the French more than we do.

Gillette’s CEO and president, Gary Coombe, says that angering some consumers with its #metoo campaign was a “price worth paying” if it meant the brand could increase its relevance among younger consumers and turn around its falling market share...

Hopefully this genius CEO will be fired by the board of directors for degrading shareholder value.

I now go out of my way to not buy their products.

Gillette’s infamous “toxic masculinity” ad may cost Procter & Gamble more than anyone imagined in January.

Who would have guessed that insulting 98% of your customer base would be bad for business? I'm shocked!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Since the ultimate goal of SJW’s is Global Socialism
they don’t really care.

[It’s amazing that people make 7 figure salaries to make stupid mistakes like that. It will continue to happen.]

Over-paying for acquisitions is something CEO’s do routinely because that’s where next challenge is. It’s similar to why mountain climbers look for new and dangerous peaks to scale. For CEO’s, the bonus is that the stakes are far lower than mountain climbing - at worst, they lose their jobs and get the consolation prize of a golden parachute, a big final paycheck to go away quietly.

I started using the Bull Dog shaving gel about a year and a half ago, really great stuff.

[Democrats hate too much]

I had started buying Harry’s razors.

[Bullish]

There’s plenty of alternatives to using their overpriced shaving products. Hell, I’ll grow a full beard before I ever buy another one of their products.

Apparently this SOOOOOOOOPER Genius has never noticed that Millenial soy boys tend to like the full beard.

[ConservativeMind]

The Schick Titanium razor rocks and works well for a much longer time than most. It can be used against the nap, not cut you, yet give a completely smooth shave.

[Fiji Hill]

Like Nike, they see growth in the anti-American global market.

Not sure that's a good idea, especially among anti-American Muslims who probably don't buy a lot of razor blades.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I stopped buying their products and I had used them for years. You can’t throw out gratuitous insults and expect customers to stay.

[Blue Highway]

I wonder if the idiot SJW types that are making these decisions within the companies like Dick’s Sports, JC Penneys, Target, Starbucks and now GIllette realize the error of their ways when it affects their bottom line? Will they take responsibility and admit they screwed up BIG TIME?

[hal ogen]

Good for them. I hope they go out of business. Sexist pig losers.

[Roccus]

In a word

NO
