Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

I read some of the comments and most are from women fed up with the BS.

I dumped Gillette products months ago, like many. They should have stuck to making razors.
Now with even more aplomb

Gillette is hardly the only company trashing their base. Nike, Levi’s, Dicks Sporting Goods, and many others are working harder for social justice, than they are for their stockholders

I sure quit using Gillette.
But that brand could go tits up, and proctor & Gamble would never miss a step...
Trying to rid myself of all P&G products. There's lots out there.

Here's hoping they all loose bigly. One wonders why any company would denigrate their customer base. Political Correctness must stop and the only way to stop it is to punish it.

Before we all pass out from orgasmic schadenfreude, I might want to note that in the past 12 months P& G stock has gone from $85 to $120.
If bashing white men will make stocks go up 50% in a year, brace yourself for more of it.

Yeah, but that is because poofs use more panty liners than straight men.

If I ever start shaving again, it won't be with a Gillette.

I couldn't be more pleased to hear this. When I saw the commercial, I vowed never to buy another Gillette product, and have stuck to it.
This line was funny as hell: "The company decided the best way to promote their product was to attack their customer base."
The article also correctly noted the message in the commercial that White men typically mistreat women, and that Black men often come to the rescue of women when they are being mistreated by White men. Also hilarious.

It's a "non-cash" write down. In other words, it's just an accounting adjustment to the value of assets acquired during a merger or acquisition.
This will result in Gillette being able to use the write off to offset future taxes, and increase their real cash flow.
Sales of shaving products were down, but overall sales were up, lead by diapers.
An no, I'll never buy another Gillette product again.

Gillette is a brand name owned by P&G whose stock is at an all-time high.
The mantra is to maximize stock price for the shareholder i.e. screw the employees if it helps the shareholder. You can bet your ass that if the current ad campaign results in a decrease of the Gillette brand profits, there will be changes. Theses things do not happen overnight but over reporting quarters, over a year, possibly longer...
OTOH, with the S&P 500 Index also at an all-time high notched on July 26 going into August, would you buy P&G or sell it?

I think thats Awesome and Maybe I helped. I switched to Harry's shave club, I get the 5 blade razors 8 for $16.00. Thats 2.00 each and they last longer and are extremely sharp. If fact, Warning if you switch,I cut myself 3 times the first week, you gotta learn to go slower and only one pass

Piss on any company that tries to be the social justice police.
