Jillette™ : Razors For Little Bitches Gets A Lesson In Capitalism

h/t Grouchy Old Cripple
 

Since apparently everyone at Jillette Pussy Products™ was asleep the day the business econ 101 professor was teaching about Adam Smith's "invisible hand" of the marketplace, he may have mentioned somewhat that it frequently comes in the form of a bitchslap from your competitors.

Barbasol's brilliant ad, above, and old but newly current, just left stinging red hand prints on Jillette™'s face.
On both sides.

Jillette™ will shortly rank behind Lady Schick in men's razor sales, in all likelihood. They may as well sponsor revivals of RuPaul's Drag Race and Queer Eye For The Straight Guy over on Bravo!, because they're done as a men's product company, unless they walk this disaster back, with cleats, over their own bleeding manginas. 

And while we're giving GOC props, here's some more payback come a'calling:

The Barbasol ad is freakin BRILLIANT!I
Phillips, like that weenie Blumenthal seems to have been content to let folks assume he was a Nam vet. As a "Vietnam Era" Marine he shoulda been able to differentiate. Instead his (possibly) honorable service is now tainted by his subsequent actions. Seems to be a serial violator of Rule #1 - which is "Don't be that guy"

This Barbasol ad's about 5 years old...but it will ring in Gillette's ears for eternity.

Barbasol ads rockin' it. And I mean like Led Zep's "Thunder, Lightning & the Hammer of the Gods" tour.
Most excellent Sir!
Muchas Gracias.

I saw the Barbasol ad elsewhere yesterday and promptly ordered the $9.99 starter kit. How's that for effective advertising?

I use a straight razor and thus don't need to buy blades. I will consider using their shaving soap though.
