What Photek doesn't know is that the two kids fighting in the garden are a metaphor for Sony and Microsoft.

And the dads are Nintendo.

I wish everything didn't have to be so political, it's a blooming razor company for fudge sake, give us reasons to buy your products, leave the politics to others.

They've already hit five blades, I'm not sure there's much else to come up with.

I'm now posting this from my comfy prison cell that YOUR TAX money is paying for.

Couldn't help but torture myself with Piers Morgan bursting a blood vessel about this on GMB earlier, ironically not realising he was making himself look anything but what his vision of masculinity seemingly is.

Anyone who got their back up over this needs to get a strawberry floating grip.

So it's alright for Gillette to get their back up about an issue but no one else?

The left feeds the right and vice versa - as displayed in this thread.

I don’t think Gillette have their backs up. They made an advert that they knew would get mass coverage. I doubt Gillette the company gives a gooseberry fool, it’s calculated to get their name onto every news broadcast.

The advert itself has a decent enough message, it’s a bit too preachy for my tastes and has that sickly sweet American feel all over it.

But to be offended by it? The reaction is hilarious as it comes from the same people that accuse others of being snowflakes. People that fly into a rage over vegan sausage rolls and a Gillette advert think that other people are too sensitive for complaining about actual misogyny and racism. :lol:
