#3 I wonder if the P&G stockholders consider it a ‘Price worth paying’?

#4 I have used their Sensor razor for years and watched it climb in price to $22 for a ten pack. Utter highway robberyy by a company that insults their market demographic. Cretinous political blathering by a feminist that somehow has kept the job. Apparently a business loss of 8 billion is ok if you are virtuous!

#6 I suppose the the next ad could feature MMA fighters, clips of knockouts, swagger, blood on stubble. A tagline like;

"When you live rough, keep it smooooth."
gillete ♪ the best a man can ♫..

They can say later 'we fired the fags that wrote the last one'. One way to get that market back.

#10 Gary Coombe is listed as CEO of P&GGlobal Grooming

*shrug* It’s a big company, so they reorganized it into more manageable parts. Grooming (shaving stuff, both male and female) used to be under beauty care (hair stuff, lotions, underarm anti-stinkies). Before that, it used to include health care as well (toothpaste/mouthwash, Pepto-Bismol).

You want to scoff, think about bring in charge of feminine care. And then being the technician who had to explain to management why tampon sales suddenly went through the roof: “We’ve got a whole new market now, boss: armies! We’ll put them in Army green wrappers in waterproof packages of three, and ship them out bundled on skids for dropping from airplanes.”
