That goes for the watch company too.


I didn’t find that one as preachy.

I think it’s the condescending, look down their nose, arrogance of the gilette one that irks people. (Plus all the black guys cockblocking the white dudes and being all “hey, you haven’t obtained her consent form, flirting is not ok).

100%. That would be like a company weighing in on religion.

what are you implying?

I have never stated where i agree or disagree with what gillette or what ever this watch company did.

there you go assuming someone stance just because they called you out.

You seem to be implying it's okay for the watch company to make this commercial because they're firing back at Gillette. Meaning it's okay because you agree with them.

It was very straightforward.

Some of those stats didn’t really make sense with the “we believe in men” message

For example the “49 percent of fathers without visitation rights support their children financially” I mean that’s just child support man and most of the time that’s not very voluntary

Reminds me of the old Chris Rock skit about people bragging. "I take care of my kids" "Yeah, you are supposed to take care of your kids"

I agree with the message of this commercial

I also agree with the message of the Gillette commercial. I don’t understand why calling out bad things is seen as bad.

Its just silly... Its asking for praise making an ad about something everyone agrees on. I am going to start a company, and I want to make an ad standing up against murder. Because I want it known that my company is against murder.

If they had done this, the ad wouldn't have reached us. Wouldn't have been OT worthy. Marketing is a funny thing.
