Actually, I meant to ask you about this when it first happened, jefe considering your marketing background- what was your opinion on the whole Gillette ad controversy?

We actually discussed that in my team back in January.

Companies now are taking steps they believe they need to take, it happens every cycle. Usually all the little SMEs will do this kind of stuff first, before the bigger boys start changing their stance.

because Gillette's sales plummeted after those ads, if I'm not mistaken, right?
Chase
Director
Actually, no. Gillette sales are completely unaffected.
Deric Storm
Consul
really???
Chase
Director
Yeah, and they're actually receiving an unprecedented level of consumer engagement and coverage.
Deric Storm
Consul
wow
Chase
Director
Gillette isn't only selling in America or to men. Many women shave, many women buy razors for their household. The ad appeals to the 'correct base' of decision-makers.
Deric Storm
Consul
i'm honestly surprised. Usually, when you're a product that caters to men and you basically call all men rapists, you'd think that would affect the bottom line
Chase
Director
You'd think, but no.
Deric Storm
Consul
Then again, it's weird living in the US right now

Joan of ArcLucy said:She led an army before she was old enough to vote in most modern countries. Who am I?

Very good derek but this one surprised me: I wore armor, heard visions, and terrified experienced soldiers while still a teenager. -
Lucy:
Edited because the answer was wrong and needs rewording: I am one of the great world cities that sits near major fault lines. Cats roam my ancient ruins. Empires fought endlessly over me because I connected continents. Where am I?”

Lucy:
Why do we say "Excuse my French" when about to swear. When something crappy happens why do we ask "If we're having fun yet." and "Why do we say "For pete's sake" are these all just American phrases?

Lucy:
This is becoming a fun rabbit hole....the alphabet has been rearranged a few times. "A" came from a Phoenician symbol that originally represented an ox's head. "B" came from a symbol meaning "house." The names Alpha and Beta evolved from Aleph and Beth. ...

Lucy:
The letters J, U, and W are relatively new additions compared to the others. For a long time, people used I/J and U/V as the same letters.

I was out today minding my own business at a restaurant when I over heard someone at a table near me say this "The United States is the oldest country in the world." I was thinking...It can't be. At least the "United Kingdom" was around before we came to the new world.
