Gillette Comes within A Whisker Of Disaster

"Your stupid boycotts will never make a dent in a company like P&G," one liberal scoffed back in January. Turns out, they didn't just make a dent. After a string of male-bashing, transgender shaving ads, the parent company of Gillette got nicked so badly, market experts wonder if the brand will survive. Gillette's CEO insists the radical activism was "worth the price." Let's hope so -- because so far, that price is a whopping $8 billion dollars.

Ok now its time to up our game. Not only don’t buy Gillette. But grab as many high priced razors as possible and hide them throughout the store so that the Wokes cannot either.

“But I am absolutely of the view now that for the majority of people to fall more deeply in love with today’s brands have to risk upsetting a small minority and that’s what we’ve done.”

This is what the company is calling white, heterosexual men: a small minority.

This is the ceo doubling down trying to save his ass o er his massively backfired, hugely negatively-received pc bs campaign.

I hope they go full bankrupt.

Does anyone want to invest in a company that’s been hijacked by left wing activists?

Mr. Coombe, I am positive your shareholder whole-heartedly affirm your value judgment about alienating a core market for your product, losing $8 billion in the process. . . . /sarcasm

This idiot needs to be shown the door along with the amoral board that hired the bum.

“I decided that my views and opinions were far superior and moral compared to those who think differently than me. Therefore, my decision to run the company into the ground is completely defensible and justifiable. I mean, I have a golden parachute, so who cares. It’s unfortunate that thousands of our employees will lose their jobs, but hey, it’s not my fault that our customers aren’t as moral and woke as I am. How can they look at themselves in the mirror every morning to shave anyway?”
