Oh great... we’ll I never joined their shave club and I bought about fifty packets of razors a couple of years back. I guess when those run out, I’ll have to find other options. Too bad, their Truman and disposable cartridges were the best deal on shaving I ever found.
Just sent Gillette the following e-mail:
To whom it may concern:
I am a 58 year-old man. I have used Gillette razors for my entire adult life - actually, since age 16. In those 42 years, I have never had imposed upon me so grievous an insult as that which was recently propagated by your “toxic masculinity” advertising campaign.
Perhaps it is the case that the executives of Gillette’s parent company, Proctor & Gamble, believe they may with impunity declare this so-called “gender war” of political correctness against myself and those of my sex? If so, then they are sorely misguided in their presumptuous attitude.
In fact, they have made the most amateur of errors against their customer base: entering the fray of the sociopolitical arena - a move guaranteed to alienate a substantial percentage of their customer base.
Perhaps P&G seeks to impress the “Millennial” generation; however, the reality is that P&G and Gillette have made this poorly-conceived attempt at a high cost indeed. For those of us who are principled and value our integrity above all else, let me respond that your calculated risk was a choice of poor judgment and bad business practice.
As for myself, I will never again purchase any product made by Gillette, nor any product produced or distributed by Proctor & Gamble. I trust you will understand my “business” decision.
“How’d American culture fall so far in three decades?”
1.) We allowed the abortion industry to corrupt our women.
2.) We allowed public education to corrupt our children.
3.) We allowed sodomites to corrupt our entertainment.
4.) We allowed communists to corrupt our government.
Second Amendment, my ass.
What good is a “RTKBA” when, no matter the offense committed against our nation, our culture, and our children, we refuse to take up arms - even when it is morally and existentially justified?
Our nation fell far and hard because its people refused to “occasionally water the tree of Liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots” when we were absolutely obliged to do so.
You can keep your Schlitz - I’ll stick with Budweiser.
No sh*t, eh?
With just one movie, the dimwits at Disney destroyed the most successful franchise ever created.
