I don’t mean like scams or anything like that. I mean what’s the ad that has done the worst job as an advertisement? Instead of making you want to buy the product you wanted to avoid it.

    Gillette had an advertisement and it was a bunch of different hot men lined up and a woman fondling their bodies, evaluating what trimming style she found most sexually appealing. They were encouraging you to buy their trimming products.

    I just thought, let’s flip it around. There’s a bunch of busty and tight women in swimsuits, and a man comes and lustfully fondles their bodies, and then they’re telling you to buy makeup.

    Edit. I should add that this was what made me decide to just stop buying their products. It was just one commercial, and I’m not making a big whoopee about it, but it motivated me to make a change and there’s no reason to go back. I pretty much realized through this that I don’t need any of their products that I formerly used, and I can shave myself for pennies versus what I used to pay them for disposable blades.
