Gillette's idea of Chivalry for Movember

This comment from youtube sums it up well.

"This is like a breast cancer ad with a bunch of women running to fix a man a sandwich, because his girlfriend is too stupid to do so."

Really Gillette, for a month dedicated to men's health, the focus isn't on men's health, but on being servile to women?

This should be offensive to both men AND women, in my opinion, and I'm amazed this was approved.

Guess I will only buy Schick razors in the future.

At the end it says

"ONION LABS"

Does that mean its some kind of "official" troll by The Onion?? :S

never thought i'd see the day that a commercial rustles my jimmies so much that i would boycott the product

Ok. This needs to be front paged. Gillette wants to poke their customers. Let's poke back. Has gillette made a response (to the dissent) of any kind?

Movember is about men taking care of themselves. Not men taking care of women.

Portrayal of women as dainty, fragile "creatures" who can't solve their own problems? Check

The most over the top display of fedora-tipping in existence? Check

How anyone could find this ad anything but sickeningly patronizing and mindblowingly sexist is beyond me.

Not to mention it has nothing to do with prostate cancer.

Don't y'all know that Men's health is about making men be able to serve women longer? It's just obvious. </sarcasm>

For anyone who now does not want to buy the Gillette brand. Try dollarshaveclub.com, it's way cheaper and the quality is just as good if not better than Gillette.

This is absolutely absurd.

Capitalsman · 2013-11-24T23:29:01+00:00

The fuck was that bullshit? is Gillette saying while we have mustaches we have to behave like Victorian men and not let fragile women get their shoes made of sugar wet?

2013-11-25T01:15:02+00:00

Wait... what? I legitimately thought it was supposed to be showing the moustached coat-droppers as foolish and overly-eager without reason. I mean, the absurdity of like 5 dudes tossing their jackets in the mud for no reason seems patently absurd (yes I know it's supposed to be a thing, but just walk around the damn puddle, you're not a child) but apparently it's something to be emulated. Alllrighty.

2013-11-27T09:11:24+00:00

Gillette needs to be boycotted.

MuFoxxa · 2013-11-24T15:03:05+00:00

That made me throw up in my mouth a little.

2013-11-24T11:02:48+00:00

I'd like to say I'm offended, but I actually don't get it. At all.
