I've wondered about Gillette for a while. Ever since the infamous Superbowl commercial I've questioned their advertising abilities. Hell, I can't see anything I like about this ad. Does anyone see anything cool besides the really expensive car few can afford?

What a "bleh" ad! Even with the $400,000 car in the picture, it's bleh! I don't like the fact that there are only two colors in the entire ad...it's boring! Honestly, the car doesn't even look good in this ad...tsk tsk tsk.

How I see it; Firstly, the angles really put me off, the completely jar the image, making it look like a 5 minute hack job. It's obviously saying "You're a real man if you use this." (big red throbbing sportscar). Which always makes me laugh, as long as it does the job and all that. The red is obviously to say, this will be faster, as everyone knows, red cars are faster than any other.

I don't really like this, could you tell? :)

The car I might buy .... the razor? No Way!

I've yet to grasp why advertisers feel they can only sell these cheaply made bits of plastic and slithers of metal by conning us into believing it's a macho thing to do. Macho is using an open blade dry razor! :)

I suppose all the Lynx and Brut buyers .....
