Hygiene company Gillette released a controversial ad last week, in which they addressed toxic masculinity. Some respected Gillette for asking men to step up their morals. Others thought the ad was too harsh against masculinity.
Whatever your thoughts, the ad certainly did what it was meant to do: get everyone talking about Gillette.
I got to wondering… How are Gillette’s own morals as a company?
And I found out some interesting stuff. Check out my discoveries in my own 2-minute Gillette parody ad below.
Hold businesses to high standards. Vote with your dollars. Don’t buy too much in general, and when you do spend, support good businesses. This is one route to helping change the world.
