Go woke, go broke.

The damage has been done, changing advertising tactics wont reverse the fact that you tried to take the pi$$ out of your customers.

Haha when will they learn, just like the all women Ghostbusters remake which was a total woke fest, LOST $100 MILLION...hang on no they don't learn, black female James Bond anyone?

Pleasingly, their pitiful "woke" advertising campaign has been exposed for the ludicrous nonsense it really was, and a huge financial hit has reportedly been taken. Precisely what they deserved.

They've now belatedly decided they liked their core male customers after all (and their money), as opposed to Trans Herberts, and done a complete advertising turnaround.

Too late for this previous customer though. Good riddance to them.

Two more businesses that don't deserve a further penny from their customers, such is their spectacularly poor judgement.

1. The supermarket giant that reserves the right to pass judgement on an employee's viewing habits, his likes and dislikes, and then rushes to sack him when a special minority objects to those viewing preferences. The word 'spineless' seems wholly inadequate to describe this employer.

2. The once stellar business that is now reduced to jumping on any pitiful bandwagon in town. As yet I'm not aware of any special products to celebrate heterosexuality, and the couplings that have produced the generations of customers for this business.

and it ain't how real men shave either.

Little boys shave with cartridge razors
Little men with safety razors
Big men shave with a straight razor
Real men don't shave at all

I've certainly boycotted them, in fact I was just thinking about them the other day  -which brand I'll switch to when my last gilette is used.

Buy a straight razor from Feather. Just like their razor blades, their straight razors have unmatched sharpness.

and they're Japanese, which has two advantages

1) You know the Japanese don't get involved in this woke nonsense
2) Not made by stupid Germans or something like that

when will they all learn that this "woke" stuff is getting them nowhere

They are talking about replacing jodie whittaker as the Doctor with a bloke now as well, and replacing the showrunner as well, because their merchandise sales have taken a hit LaughLaugh

you see its all about the wonga with these people, if you ain't bringing it in you can take your agenda elsewhere

Shows all of them up, the "woke" and the scum that run these corporations as well. one is money driven and the other is a psycho that want to bring down western civilisation

Talking of "Woke" it's C4 news on C4 + 1 covering exam results. As usual it's a case of "spot the white kid". I've seen none so far. Again. It's apparently filmed in England.

I'm only watching it to laugh as it's so amusing as this C4 does this EVERY FREAKIN TIME! Laugh If ever there was "Woke News" it's that.
Apparently, according to C4 news, having English questions that involve kids having to know English is unfair if it disadvantages kids whose knowledge of English is lacking due to their "diversity". Sorry for thread hijacking but for ****s sake. I'll shut up now.

Gillette are not the only business this year to have taken a well-deserved multi-million pound hit for their desperately poor judgement.

COMIC RELIEF suffered an estimated £8 million shortfall in anticipated receipts, because they inexplicably failed to properly address truly disgraceful comments by (surprise, surprise) the completely non-racist MP, David 'The Mastermind' Lammy.   

Comic Relief didn't start this row, but their reaction was wholly unsatisfactory. They should firstly have stated in the starkest possible terms that they wanted nothing to do with Lammy. They should additionally have recognised publicly that their organisation has effectively been bankrolled for 30 years by the very “White Saviours” that the Mastermind seemingly had a problem with.

Alas they didn’t, and can probably expect to continue suffering financially until the matter is properly addressed. I certainly won’t be giving them another penny until they do.
