Just looked at the Gillette commercial. I don't get why anyone would have a problem with it. Stop a fight, or bullying attack, or sexual harassment attack, that's what a good men would do, nothing strange about that. I just assume some agent provocateurs will use it to get some media exposure.

There was one part that was odd, or poorly shot... where a chic in tight clothes walks by on the sidewalk and a dude started to walk off to go talk to her, and another dude blocks him and says, "Bro, not cool, not cool". I don't know why it would be wrong to meet a lady on the sidewalk... I assume the writer or director meant to show a guy, stopping another guy harassing a lady on the street, but they didn't get to that... such as showing the guy catcall obscenities, or go up to her ask something obscene, or brab at her. Too bad they screwed up that part... unless I'm missing something?

There's a lot of shit people make a big deal out of and I don't understand why. I don't understand the whole Nike thing. I do however feel like the Snickers thing was a bit derogatory though. There was this very bizarre holiday commercial for a local Furniture Company here in Vegas that only aired for about a week. In the commercial the guy who owns the store was wishing a merry Christmas to all these different races and then this Asian guy, among a bunch of other people who I guess we're employees were standing there and he looks over at the bus and smiles and the boss says nobody likes those people. Then at the very end it showed some other guy all together walking away and the boss said his name and wait. It's like it was an outtake added to the end of the commercial but apparently that remark must have pissed someone off or they tried to make it look that way anyway. Considering it only lasted for about a week though I'm sure someone took issue with it.
