“...Duracell is owned by Warren Buffet...”
That is a false analogy to the Gillette advert. Duracell puts money into the hands of conservatives like all of those contractors that pour through its gates with Trump stickers and TEA Party stickers on their trucks. The Duracell brand is not synonymous with snowflakes. Gillette is synonymous with snowflakes/faggotry.
You’re right, we can’t boycott absolutely everything but we certainly ought to send a message to Gillette. It should be on the top of our do not buy list. After their flagrant attack upon us we should respond. Then the corporate weenie world will take note.
LOL! Are you kidding? Warren Buffet has done a LOT more for left-wing causes than the executives at Gillette have ever done.
You don’t think Gillette plants have “contractors that pour through its gates with Trump stickers and TEA Party stickers on their trucks?” OF COURSE they do. I bet the great majority of Gillette employees are as insulted by that ad as you and I are.
Yes the corporate world will take note to the reaction to that ad. It already is when Gillette is concerned... As 5 years ago or so, they had no effective competition, now they do. This is why they tried (and won’t try that again!) the “toxic” ad—as an (idiotic) attempt to appeal to a new market.
Protest, complain, by all means. But boycotts have never changed many minds. When you cease being a customer, you cease influencing a company.
