In its first days on the air, Al Jazeera America's short commercial window has been dominated by promotions for the network itself and some direct-response ads. There are only a few national brands, including Gillette and ThermoSpas, that have bought time on the new cable news network.
-snip-
Procter & Gamble, parent of Gillette, did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

Well, P&G makes deodorant and detergents and Gillette makes sharp blades, so they know their customers................

Just heard an ad for Al-Jazeera America on NPR, which creeped me out.
To: Red Badger
Muzzies don’t use deodorants. It’s a bunch of wishful thinking by P&G to think they’ll persuade the cult of headchoppers to change their minds and starting using the product.

CEO Ehab Al Shihabi said the network wanted to keep the focus on unbiased, fact-based journalism and not clutter up the news with advertising. Now that's funny!

Ehab Al Shihabi prefers to clutter up his news with beheadings and other forms of stone age barbarism.

What about DOW chemicals, muzzies buy a lot of acid to throw in womens faces. Or Johnson and Johnson? They need baby powder for all those baby girls they marry, oh and diapers.

I’m shocked that any national company would dare take a chance on advertising on this channel. Unless they’re extremely out of touch they must know how people feel about this.

As expensive as the blades were that I just recently bought, I’m switching to Schick. Hard to dump P&G but I’ll look into it.

Anyone know if Comcast or if Charter carry this station? If so, I’m dropping them.
