Get woke, go _ _ _ _ _.

Do you really need to buy a vowel?

Dunno.
So far, the marketing has gotten more attention than any normal pitch would have. Gillette has reached a lot more people than it normally wood.
It remains to be seen if this a good thing, though.

One of the scenes shows a man giving a playful swat to his wife’s derriere while she is doing something in the kitchen.

I later asked my wife what she thought of me doing that to her sometimes. It turns out she likes it. She sees it as playful.

It’ll be interesting to see the next couple quarters of sales statistics for P&G. I’d lay money down on what little boost they get from feminists doesn’t make up for the loss of men who don’t care to be lectured to and can easily find plenty of product elsewhere.

A radical lesbo man-hating feminazi lecturing men about masculinity.

Like I know nothing about being a man. I didn’t need the lecture from Gillette.

Anti-male diatribes are legion in our society. Last place I expected to hear it from was a company selling men’s care products.

Now that’s a low blow, indeed:

My wife buys my shaving cream but would never ever buy my blades. I assume they think tge audiences for blades are women.

This idiot has done another ad featuring singing female genitals. Great creative minds in the ad business nowadays. Sarcasm.

I don’t by anything from any company whose ads make men look stupid, foolish, inept or treat them in any other derogatory manner. Plenty of other companies out there selling.

Insulting customers is a bad business practice. Gillette did not get the memo. I have shaved the last time with a Gillette razor, I am heading with a stubble face to buy a new razor.

Someone should make an equivalent women’s ad. It would be along these lines ‘ we know most women are s**** and whores. But that has to change. Women should be caring and prim and proper. That’s what’s infuriating about the ad it makes the assumption that most white men a misogynist jerks.

Related from the Daily mail.

Somesuch produced the ad for Grey, a part of the advertising giant WPP. It was first shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month in a presentation fronted by Marc Pritchard, the chief brand officer of Procter & Gamble, Gillette's parent company - a display of how keen the multinational is on the new campaign.

The commission for Gehrig was itself consciously social activism on the part of P&G, who found her through Free the Bid, a non-profit which tries to raise the profile of female and non-white advertising directors.

Very importantly, this Gillette thing seems to have been initiated by corporate P&G. Any boycott of Gillette products won't impact the global bottom-line. But P&G is 54 brands. If anybody wants to strike a cost for this activism, the proper target is the P&G universe.

In the near future, the surviving Business schools will document how many CEO’s including the owners of the NFL/Apple/Gillette~P&G have destroyed their companies.

Or they came close to destroying their companies with their liberal attacks against America and those who love America.

Many CEO’s have started the destruction of their businesses with their vile attacks on those who live a positive lifestyle instead of a self destructive liberal one!

Politics at its very core embodies the selective. i.e., once a political position is stated you have to account that you are now on the opposite side of 50% of all current, as well as potential customers. Sometimes the numbers can be higher.

But that’s the rule-of-thumb. That’s why it used to be the absolute last thing any CEO worth-their-salt would argue publicly, let alone place its business and customers directly into any political fray.

It seems that many of these CEO’s like NFL/Apple/Gillette~P&G and ? forgot they were in the business of business – not the business of abetting destructive liberal politics.

Many of us have a suspicion, the price they are going to pay in loss of sales, reputation, as well as share holder condemnation will be legendary.

Notice how they use the word “WE” without asking you for permission to be included in that “WE.”

Radical feminazis are now in control. Boycott them.

The whole thing is a big yawn.

The root problem is not this ad. Who cares, really? What is at issue here is the underlying business model, which sets the PRICES of these razors to reflect 1) actual production and distribution costs PLUS 2) advertising and branding costs.

Gillette and other leading brands need to pare back #2, presently enormous, so that going forward they can compete with the startups that are foregoing that cost altogether to manufacture a darn good blade at a much lower price.

I don’t care about the commercial. What bugs me is the massive waste surrounding the big ad budgets. This ad tells me that P&G feels like it has advertising money just to burn. Please, folks, just produce a good blade and sell it to me at a fair price. That would make me very happy.
