i see on the news where "gillette ad is focusing on a transgender man shaving for the first time" using a damn heebee jeebee abomination of nature! SICK

John: hard to believe that outfit once sponsored the "Fight of the Week" on ABC ...

Here's the reply to that video

I've been using Dollar Shave Club for about a year...no Gillette, and I always have a fresh blade.

Bill, if I remember, wasn't that called the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports?

unfortunantely i live in the sticks and have the DISH, meaning limited data and if i watch a utube video it eats up my data. it kicks over on the 8th so i may be able to watch it then. was it good?

Bill... that was one of the BIG 3 my grandfather made me watch with him if i wanted to watch Gunsmoke. Lawrence Welk, fri (?) night fights, and one other i can't remember. he would get a huge kick out of my bitching and complaining, but i sure wanted to see Gunsmoke so i sucked it up.

Why in the hell get upset about a Gilette ad??

more to the point....why not?? could it possibly be the subject matter?
its really kinda self explainatory why. i'll try though.
BECAUSE ITS WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS
but if its ok with you, have at it. theres only like 25 dems running for president that agree with you. pick one.

Gilette can do what they want - I'm not doing it and I'm not watching it.
Good luck dealing with it.

As I have commented before on anti gun companies that tout their agenda;they need to know that we will not buy their product.Their sole interest is the bottom line. If they see that way too many people are pissed they WILL change their ways. Case in point. You remember in 79 when the Shaw was ousted in Iran?Up to that point Camel cigarettes was using a swarthy moustachioed middle eastern model known as "the turk".Overnight they switched their model to a big red haired strapping Irishman.Enough folks let the companies know + they Will make a change. I know your disgust;I saw a posting tonight about a transgendered youth up north going to be the homecoming king.PUKE!

When a company is involved trying to change the fundamental values of a country.

One should know about it and then they can take the action they deem appropriate.

right. too many times in history the attitude of "doesn't affect me, why should i care"? has allowed this kind of crap to spread and become the norm. i was born and raised right on the US mexican border. for years i tried to tell friends and relatives farther inland that we needed to get a grip on immigration or soon enough they would be suffering the effects too. their attitudes were oh well good luck. not a priority. they bitch constantly about it now. if some ho "thing" don't want to have a hoo-haw she should swap out with some bro that don't want his carrot. in private. in another country. don't think it affects you just because it you don't watch a gillette ad? your tax money right now is paying for some scum bag in a federal prison to get the "swap" done. when one moves into your neighborhood and brings the rest of the pervs, and your property values go to hell, you WILL wish you had boycotted gillette et al.

That's quite a leap from a Gilette ad to declining property values and transgenders becoming the new norm (usual, typical, standard). But it can all be stopped by a Gilette boycott?
Not sure there's much of a comparison between immigration and Gilette ads, but if it makes sense to you, then OK. The good thing is you can do whatever you desire to deal with this type of thing as long as it's legal. Good luck!

A boycott of Gillette would be complete bs. Branded Consumer products build a massive captive base.

Lots of talk of boycott but typical ar member is off a age when little really changes consumer behavior patterns for products like razors or soft drink or other consumer products.

What Gillette is appealing to is next generations of consumer who are actually choosing alternative products.

The ad is to appeal to next generation of consumer who Gillette really fears losing. The boycott by existing consumers is of little risk.

Oh! Right! So the CEO is not concerned about his yearly bonus or his stock options or his retirement, or his contract buyout or even his salary. He is concerned about "changing the fundamental values of a country". Complete B---S--T!

Well here is another. Still don't think they play politics?

Business software maker Salesforce is telling gun retailers they must stop selling AR-15s if they want to continue using the company’s business applications. The Washington Post reports that Salesforce is a $120 billion San Francisco-based company whose “skyscraper…towers over the city as the tallest building and a major landmark.” They are now telling customers who sell firearms that they are barred from using Salesforce “technology to market products, manage customer service operations and fulfill orders” unless they cease selling AR-15s. Salesforce’s “Acceptable Use Policy” goes beyond a ban on AR-15s, to include any semiautomatic firearms “that have the capacity to
