Personally I'm against any publicly owned building being named after a corporation.
The stadium is owned by The Kraft Group

All the conservative whining all over the internet is giving Gillette a billion bucks worth of word-of-mouth advertising. If I was the CEO, I would commission a sequel to the ad.

The slogan is actually "The best a man can get" (rhymes with "Gillette"), but I digress. We have far more pressing problems in this country and far more pressing needs for the expenditure of funds than the naming rights of a sports stadium.

Yep. All of my life I have used Gillette Foamy shaving cream. Last week I bought Barbasol cream. See how it works? Ads have consequences.

This isn't about the ad. Gillette has partnered with the Building A Better Man project, which seeks to reduce male violence. What could be more violent than having sex with a sex slave? I have not heard that a Gillette spokesman has replied to anyone asking about this. They should have a spokesperson make a statement at least, shouldn't they?
