Okay I went and looked it up and a) yes, but b) this seems like the same “be a REAL MAN MAN” tack that razor ads have been on since I can remember, just with a 2019 update

I had to stop myself from buying a set out of political spite, and now I understand why it's really easy to get racists to do stupid things.

So what’s this Gillette thing

Gillette made an ad that is about toxic masculinity and uses the Gillette "the best a man can be" slogan to stand up for generic feel good pop feminism.

It's very corporate feminism-y but on balance, it's an ok advertisement I guess, if you let yourself forget it's being used to sell men's razors.

Right-wingers, predictably, threw a massive hissy fit tantrum over this.

Imagine realizing that corporate marketing is a cynical business but responding to it by watching the video repeatedly, posting all about it, and talking with your friends all about it.

it's too accusatory. any good ad writer/student of humans knows men are weak pissbabies who'll poo poo their pants and prolapse their eyeballs crying about being told the truth too hard. contrary to what some might think, don't be direct with men; u need to talk to men way softer, craftier than w/ women.

If I wanted to complain about quality, I'd have shown a deep-dish. I'm upset over the tongs. Your Oettinger example would only apply if it came exclusively in crazy straws and/or Canadian milk bags.

ehhh kemp has gone hard center since he got inaugurated - he passed a 2% raise for all state workers and a flat $3k raise for all teachers, which is normal for georgia - act like a lunatic to get elected and then try as hard as you can to make sure you can eat out at night anywhere in atlanta without people throwing food at you

but georgia is also pretty pissed about the shutdown right now, suburban republicans don't like disruptions to business, there's a shitload of federal entanglement with the atlanta metro economy - the CDC is here, messing with the airport is bad, various other federal offices use atlanta as a regional HQ like the FBI, the Fed, etc. rural south georgia got hosed by hurricane michael which hit exactly at harvest time so they're waiting for crop damage payments that aren't coming. also everyone agrees kemp is kind of a bastard, i think most people voted for him not because they actually liked him but rather because they were terrified of abrams. plus i'm sure trump's unpopularity is reflected in the suburban republicans who are generally more moderates, remember that in the primary the metro counties broke for rubio. my wife's father is normally the kind of guy who likes to make passive aggressive comments about politics and he hasn't said a single word either for or against trump which indicates to me that he's internally seething, also he's a fed contractor lol
