Unused Sub Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Quite like McFaddens Cold War. Not one to contemplate modern life, but I simply enjoy the silliness of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2019 Neither of my kids have had proper flu yet. By the time I was their age I had got it probably 3 or more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 i think its a purposeful marketing campaign, same as the palm oil iceland one at xmas, i bet 90% of people saw the controversy before they saw the ad, i bet their social media and youtube hits are better than their TV viewing figures, its all a ploy, would be interesting to see how it compares to the millions they threw at federer, tiger woods* etc maximum exposure minimum spend at a time when i would lazily guess Gillette is being hit hard by electric razors and the decline in people shaving the advert itself is shit "men are bastards and should start acting better, buy our razors" im not offended by it or anything daft i just think its a bad advert *surprising lack of tiger in this campaign...

I'm all for people having a cause , but sharing it on Facebook isn't a cause it's like a drug for some people to just share stuff , the M25 speed camera thing (again) the other week being a prime example ... no they haven't turned on every single camera , there isn't a magic turn on switch they are the Highways Agency not a James Bond villain Mrs H , who always has the best intentions sent me the palm oil advert last year and spent the next few weeks religiously checking ingredients on everything for palm oil whilst bringing palm oil up in nearly every conversation ... she appears to have given up on the palm oil crusade now ( not forgotten it totally tbf ) .. I also think she is aware the day she starts the meat is killing our planet and vegan conversation is the days the divorce papers get filed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same gillette who charge women far more money for the same product because it comes in pink plastic, deciding to virtue signal and wantonly misinterpret the term 'boys will be boys' for the new dickhead generation who are addicted to demonising everything the male of the species does these days. Yeah, no thanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no thanks. I think it goes without saying that every single product which has been marketed has been aimed at certain demographics.. Look at the Diet Coke advert in the 90s with women swooning over a good looking, topless window cleaner, or older cleaning products with tags like "perfect for cleaning your man's home" etc etc. In a way it's a good message i.e. don't be a prick to people and make women feel uncomfortable, but then again, to me it just feels like more preaching. I know I do my utmost to make anyone from any sex/race feel like they can act anyway around me, but I'm sure I've done things in the past which contradict that. So it just feels like Gilette are jumping on a bandwagon whereby they aren't exactly golden, so it feels stupid. I literally don't know what to think anymore, because I think we should all celebrate our differences and have fun around stereotypes, but then again, I hate the thought of being racist and divisive and I'd hate to upset someone. But as a white bloke, I am finding it more and more common that I'm having to be mindful of what I say and to who, even though I literally have nothing racist/misogynistic to say! All I will say is, is that as long as we can call out gingers, that gives me something to hold onto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
