“Goodbye Gillette. Brilliant.”

Nike made something like six billion off the Kaepernick ads. As one advertising executive said, “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” I looked at Gillette’s (Proctor and Gamble) stock price and, like Nike’s, it went up yesterday.

While I find them disgusting and will try not to buy their products, I can’t blame them if they did something to raise the value of their company. Conservatives do not, apparently, have much effect on a company. (I think Penny’s was already on the ropes when they got woke with the gay themed advertisements.)

It’s a pretty sad statement on our country, at this time, with both of them.

If that were true, why then do corporations settle embarrassing lawsuits quickly with an iron-clad confidentiality clause?
