Talk about a leading candidate for the epic advertising fail of the year.

What kind of mental dysfunction are these Democrat leftists having that makes them think that being aggressively nasty towards people will win their political support or their business?

There is something mentally very wrong with anyone whose brain works this way. And anyone who is involved with advertising who thinks like this, needs to rethink their career plans, because they are not well suited for this kind of work.

The first rule of business is that you find any way that you can to accept someone's money. Alienating a big chunk of your consumer base is never going to work out for you.

While their idiotic "toxic masculinity" ad campaign wasn't geared towards me, I will never forgive them for all of the in house animal testing that they used to do that was not necessary nor required by the FDA. They lost me a long time ago.

Yeah the toxic masculinity ad was the reason Gillette lost customers. Not obscene pricing, stupid upgrades nobody called for, competition from lower cost razor companies like Harry's or Bromley (I can vouch for Bromley), subscription services like Dollar Shave Club or Shave Mob (I tried it but their blades cut me worse than a DE) and those that have switched to safety razors or straight razors. No it HASTA be political...

Hilarious to see "woke" companies squirm when it starts impacting the bottom line. Never will buy Gillette again. Hopefully other companies will learn before they enter the SJW abyss.
