People don't like to get preached at by corporations.
They don't like the pretense that companies that are all about profit have superior moral standards.
In recent years, Procter and Gamble has been restructuring and laying people off, and they have plans to lay off more in the next two years.
This shouldn't be a right-left thing, everyone ought to object to the hypocrisy, and the same should be true if they tried to wrap themselves in the flag, the troops, and traditional morality.

Amen. That's why I can hardly stand to watch ads anymore. Even if the message isn't explicitly preachy or political, the choice of actors and the contexts in which they are shown are often clearly made according to PC criteria, e.g., the disproportionate percentage of black actors; the practice of dividing up the message into small fragments, each delivered by someone of a different ethnicity or gender; and the tendency to always portray the white male as the goofy or stupid one.
