Gillette, the company who makes the razor dubbed "The best a man can get", put out a political ad that showcases a play on their famous slogan asking, "Is this the best a man can do?". In the wake of the #MeTooMovement, Gillette is jumping on the band wagon to get political with their ads and prompt men to think about their words and actions. While the company is thinking they are being noble and going with the tide of society right now, we ask do you want your companies getting political or just stick to selling products and leave the politics out of it?
Take a look at their latest ad that tells men they need to change for the sake of our future men...
This ad put out by Gillette really gives you all the feels. It's sobering and thought provoking. However while this may be an inspiring message and I'm all for everyone, whether it be men or women, or other reevaluating their behavior, is it a good idea to mix politics and business? This is not about whether it was a good message or not. Sure, it's inspiring but should it be Gillette that's putting out this message? That's the question. Can they just stick to promoting and selling razors? What do you think? Yay or Nay on Gillette's new ad?
