#1 ...At this rate, I expect King Gillette his own self to come back to their corporate headquarters swinging a razor strop...

#9 When Brady retires from the Pats, they could pick up Manning.

Bradley Manning.

#12 Proctor & Gamble

To quote a long-ago company executive’s business card, “It’s -er, dammit!” The -or ending goes to Proctor Silex. ;-)

Beyond that, I suspect this will become another of Harvard Business School’s famous case studies.

#13 ...really, Harvard? At Harvard they'll blame the neolithic white male population for the failure rather than the 'geniuses' who cooked this up. Maybe the Booth School of Business at University of Chicago, unless they have sunk to the PC morass as well.

Once happened to capture a leprechaun:
"First, fatten my purse.
Make everything worse."
"And?" "Endless clay tablets to write upon."

#16 There are a number of very serious technical reasons why this rebranding is so bad, only a graduate of Harvard would come up with it.

One of which I mentioned, sponsoring a football stadium for the Patriots, a team notorious for the very storyline the razor advertisers rail against and right before the second biggest game of the season.

And in direct conflict with the recent, previous campaign of being the working man's razor, the Boston tradition, side crapping on Boston as well.

I'll try to get to the technical flubbary later, like the pre-pubescent boys hanging out on the small couch together, staring at the TV like Cinemax is still scrambled on Saturday night, and the laziness of blatant racism unseen since The Phantom Menace.

#17 I'm sure Gillette sells a lot of products to the ladies but they are courting the unshaven segment of the ladies which seems silly.

#19 Should have stuck to philosophy; her directing and storyline is awful.

Like a door to door salesman trying to sell me expensive ok razors by telling me I'm not folding the towels correctly.
