Didja hear about Gillette?
Proctor and Gamble recently released its quarterly earnings report and things were mostly positive. Quarterly revenue was up, and the stock performed well above Wall Street estimates. Share prices rose to new highs as the company appears to be performing very strong.
Just not all of the company. Amid all of the great economic news there was one dark cloud:
And that dark cloud was?
So while the rest of the company is doing gangbusters the only sector seeing a massive loss was the Gillette division. The report mentioned a number of factors leading to the losses, such as foreign monetary rates and an overall slump in the grooming market.
So what happened with Gillette? Could it have been that stupid ad campaign that insulted all of its customers?
I can see it now. A Gillette executive called in one of his underlings.
“So Jenkins, what I want you to do is find some man hating feminist to design an ad campaign that makes men out to be pigs.”
“Right on it chief! That’s sure to sell a lot of products.”
The company that used to sponsor boxing on TV now tells men that they are a bunch of pigs in ads. What’s even funnier is that almost all of the pigs were white while the male voices of moderation were African. Maybe they could have gotten some of those African NFL players who beat up their wives and girlfriends to star in the commercials.
Needless to say, I’ll never buy another Gillette product.
But the Gillette boss is all in on this bullshit.
Gillette’s CEO and president, Gary Coombe, says that angering some consumers with its #metoo campaign was a “price worth paying” if it meant the brand could increase its relevance among younger consumers and turn around its falling market share.
Huh? WTF? Alienating your customers is a way to turn your sales around? What business school did this booger eatin’ moh-ron attend? And why does he still have a job?
Your job is not to increase relevance, your job is to increase sales. You failed. P & G stockholders should be demanding that this asshole be fired, just like Dick’s Sporting Goods stockholders should be demanding that their CEO be fired.
The CEO’s job should be to make money, not virtue signal.
Go woke, go broke.
It’s what you get for hiring gender studies graduates for your marketing department. I would love to see Gillette disappear.
Another corporation that needs to needs to see the dustbin of history is A&W – in Canukistan anyway. A&W has gone full tilt into the Beyond Meat bull shit.
Only the stupid will pay mega bucks for those space age multi blade razors they pawn off as being the best in the world. I use those old style double edge blades and can buy a hundred of them for 15 bucks. Enough to last me two good years! I get a BBS shave every time. They deserve to go broke!
No more Gillette products for this older consumer. Fuck ’em.
Wish I could find a substitute for Right Guard but nothing else seems to work. Also, it costs almost $7 now!
In this upside down world, proggy millennial menchildren and man-hating butch dyke lesbians don’t shave, but mantrannies do. It’s getting confusing. The market for grooming products is undergoing some weird kind of inversion. And they’ve ruined Pabst Blue Ribbon for me, too.
Almost enough to make me start shavin’ again just so I could NOT buy their stuff.
Amen. Buy generic. Shave the edges and a pack of disposables can last a year.
Nah, ain’t shaved since Oct. 16 of ’69, the day before I signed out at Oakland Army Base. No point is takin’ it up again at this late date. Don’t want you guys to think I look like the Wild Man of Borneo, though, ’cause everything gets trimmed at least twice a year, whether it needs it or not. :^)
“Hi, we failed at marketing and manliness, and if you too ever manage to hit puberty, we’ll freely share advice on all those manly things like, like…about that shave cream!”
Gillette Management must take their marching orders from the DNC…….Also as I posted sometime back” Dickless Sporting Good s “is another useless company, one I will never set foot in side on eof their stores again.
It is a great place to get your faggot bicycling attire ….but that is a French excuse for a sport & one must be fashion conscious I guess.
When I see these pussified jackasses pedaling down the road I have but two thoughts,
1. They should make them wear a matching tutu to go with the rest of their attire .
2. I wish I could bolt a cowcatcher on the front of my truck & sweep yhem off the road
I would love to have a cowcatcher on my car to sweep all those arrogant joggers of the road. Had enough of them jogging down the middle of the road and me having to come to stop to let the assholes on by. As for Gillette, the moment I saw that shitty, man-hating commercial I threw away all my shaving foam and never looked back, never will go back to them again. I can only hope they dry up and blow away, like all the rest of those woke assholes.
I used up my last Gillette blades in early June. I pulled out my 40 year old safety razor after received 1000 blades from Astra. A blade last about a 2 weeks so I will be in my 90’s when I need to buy new blades.
Most expensive commercial made ever. Cost 8 billion and the loss of large amounts of male customers who will never go back. All in one minute and forty-eight seconds.
