    URLs are tricky. Whenever I hear a commercial for Big Al's telling me to go to "I love Big Al's dot com", I can't help but think, "Their website also spells 'I love bi-gals'; I wonder how many people have visited them on accident?"

    It was panned by many back then as a transparent attempt to promote the political globalism so important to the continued expansion of the corporation.

    How can someone possibly not like this ad? (and be a good person)
    Lots of times white people say, "I am not racist - what do you (black person) want me to do about it?" And the answer is "Start with people you know or interact with and promote tolerance and don't put up with racism" - meaning - white people need to fix a white people problem. So here is an ad that is from Gillette, for men, by men, targeting men, saying, 'hey guys, lets be better men". Let's be a good example to boys who imitate us. This is a good thing.

    Right wingers often say that "American family values" have fallen apart. That men need to be "men" and role models etc. Ok, great. This is what the ad is saying. Step up and be a better man.

    I swear to god nothing at all anymore is non-controversial.

    I'm sure Gillette is really upset about their ad going viral and being the #1 trend on worldwide twitter. Only bad can come from that, right? Just ask Nike.

    Somehow, Gillette and Old Spice go together.

    They're made in the United States, Poland and Mexico. I think they also might be made in Canada. Not sure if they're made elsewhere.

    I have never seen any difference between hating men and hating blacks.

    If you want to criticize a specific cultural behavior, go ahead. Anyone older than 12 knows that the behavior is practiced by at most 70% men and at least 30% women. But manhaters ignore the women doing the same things.

    Their motive is not to change that behavior, but to vent about their mundane frustrations with life, in a non-economic way which can never succeed in changing anything. There is no difference between manhaters and the legal/religious system. They share the same screaming morons ignoring changes in the economic system necessary to change behavior.

    So if I were registered on YouTube, I'd downvote it. It's no different from over-general racist propaganda. Imagine the video with black men.

    The ad is from a feminist nutbag trying to lecture men since men are bad.

    The lecturing shit a company like patagonia does is cool. This is just some cliche sjw bullshit.

    I don't really mind a company having morality, this is just a company getting tricked into hiring idiot feminists to push a platform out of the companys ass.

    It is completely and totally racist but whatever.

    20 seconds in there is some tv show with an all white audience where a white man pretends he is gonna goose some poor black maid.

    Next we have a fake "rap video" section with all white people in it showing the evil white rapper degrading women.

    Then we have a white frat boy in a striped shirt saying something like "come on sweetie" to which the taller more handsome dark skinned guy puts an end to right away.

    Somewhere in there we do have some kids wrestling at a bbq and one black guy does say "boys will be boys" to balance it out.

    But no, then we got another creepy white guy about to catcall a girl on the street only to be stopped by another black guy.

    It's as phony as Lizard Lick Towing or any other "reality" show and they should be embarrassed.

    Anyone who likes it should be embarrassed but whatever. Knock yourselves out.

    I didn’t take it that way. I don’t think it’s targeting every single man in the world. Just those who need it.
