$8 Billion is hardly a “small minority”.

However Gillette’s biggest problem isn’t the stupidity of their marketing campaign... it’s that their fundamental business model is doomed.

The days of $2.50-$3 for a razor blade are over

This guy needs to get his ass sued off by the stock holders for abrogation of his fiduciary responsibility.

Don’t forget JC Penney and Ellen Degenerate for their “new” advertising program in early 2012. That program cost JC Penney shareholders immensely.

“I’m done with P&G products as far as I’m concerned.”

I keep a list of all P&G products with me while shopping. Turns out I’ve been buying them out of habit and there is better out there. Win, win.

This is reckless leadership. He has had a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. This disgusting sleaze needs to be fired.

What do you purchase instead of Dawn or Tide? The generics?

I’m ready to totally ban PG products in my home.

I have not found anything to replace Dawn.

However, there a laundry detergent called Percil, which is very pricey but very good.

[But the day we have companies running ads against the left, or their allies, it will be WAPO and the NY Times hammering the companies.]


That’s true, and I sort of understand it. Wasn’t it Winston Churchill who said “In war-time, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies”. And we are in a war, for the heart and soul of America. Which is why we should equally be aware that the other side is thinking the same thing, and lying as naturally as they breathe.

Oh so this liberal moron triples-down on his stupidity.

He must have a great golden parachute. Dang, I need one of those jobs where they pay me $50 million after I screw up.

Read the comments here. Gillette ad is one of the most hated on YouTube. It was at #24 of most-disliked videos at one time.

I’ve gone with Seventh Generation for detergents. I used to use Dawn for all sorts of stuff. I think SG is just as good.
