Ford only did one parody commercial, pulling a Chevy out of a ditch and saying it was "like a rock".

Welp, time to find another product.
The Left is fully aware that the kind of toxic masculinity they abhor is overwhelmingly a characteristic of young black, Latino, and Muslim males. They dare not admit to this, so they cleverly attempt to pivot and make it a “white male frat boy” issue, for partisan political gain.
Walgreens’ version of the Gillette Fusion is just as good... and cheaper
Why isn’t anyone telling all these single moms not to raise shitbags? Who will hold the women accountable for not having a father in the home to guide a boy into manhood?
Thanks for posting that, I remember that growing up, way better than the commercial crap today, this and Ford’s “like a rock” commercials were among the best back then.
Feck off, Gilette, I think I’ll just be me.

“Another bizarre corporate PC virtue-signaling marketing action that effectively shoots itself in the foot.
What’s wrong with these people?
”
Completely bizarre.
What a strange advertising message to send.
There will be another one next month.
There is a cumulative effect of such messages, as there was with feminism in advertising.
But it won't go as far as advocates hope or opponents fear.
Before this is over, they will teach this in B-school next to the example Tylenol set when their products were being poisoned.
This time, the lesson will be: “How ‘getting woke’ killed off one of the most powerful brands of all time.”
Now that they shave cream for men’s chests, arms, legs, etc., the pretty boys will get the message. This might play well in Thailand or Korea where they have “gentle men” and “soft boys” in ambulance... as well as major cities in the US where the women long ago rejected marriage, or hetrosexuality in favor of the flavor of the moment, leaving the real men to order Sex Dolls.
Hey you know if it’s good enough for Bruce K Jennyer, it’s good enough for the Olympics.
Consistent, endemic group examples of toxic masculinity:
Ghetto
Moslems
Latinos
Oriental cultures
They literally HATE their own customers!
Gillette SPITS IN THE FACE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THEN HAS THE UNMITIGATED GUAL TO EXPECT THEM TO CONTINUE BUYING THEIR OVERPRICED GARBAGE.
Time to switch brands - tried Harry’s Shave Club when Walmart had some of their stuff - razor design sucks...will have to experiment with some brands.
Harry’s blades are the worst. Painful.
Try Shick Titanium.
Thanks - going to Walmart today and will pick up a “starter set” to check out.
Dollar Shave Club and screw them.
