It wasn't so much the message as it was the delivery. Gillette's ad was smothered in sanctimony and condescension. There might be a good way to do an ad like theirs, there might not, but the way they approached was very insulting. It came off like a schoolmarm lecturing her class. After seeing the team behind it, this was no coincidence. It's the way those types talk to everyone that doesn't agree with their ideology. I don't care how valuable a lesson you're trying to teach, don't talk down to me and accuse me of things I've never done.

Its just silly... Its asking for praise making an ad about something everyone agrees on.


The many people vowing to never buy another Gillette product again clearly think it’s much more than “just silly”

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


That's the one statistic that made me the most proud to be a man

But seriously though, it's crazy how a man can have everything taken from him and still find a way to support his family financially.

Still a crappy Chinese catalog watch company. They make commercials just like they "make" watches: aping something else.

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


Well there's bad marketing too. The Gillette commercial was bad marketing. This watch commercial was a positive commercial.

You shouldn't try to piss off half of your target clients.

Good for them. They saw an opportunity and took advantage of it in order to sell some watches.

LMAO. After reading this and watching the video, my ad banners on TD changed to Harry's Razors and some watch company. Google sees ALL!

Hell, I think Camille Paglia had something to do with that as. She's been saying that shite for years.

That was worse than the Gillette commmercial. Good lord. That commercial was made for men with inferiority complexes.

As a mother giving my all to raise a kind, intelligent, strong, hard-working, fun, confident young man, I’m thankful for any media outreach that encourages their path.

Is every commercial about female power or [insert race] empowerment the same thing?
