#1 Fake Media. And the newest generation of corporate execs who advertise on Fake Media are low IQ losers.

#2 I wasn't outraged. I was disgusted. No more Gillette for me

#3 True. A grand disappointment. I remember saying to an elderly chap it couldn't get worse and his immediate reply was "you wanna bet". I have avoided the mainstream media for years now. Vietnam was my tipping point. I am thankful for alternative sights like Rantburg.I might get chewed out now and then but no harm done. Another old gentleman said to me one day "if you want to be happy in this world don't read the newspaper or watch TV". That was long before Internet, cell phones and so on. OH happy days. I must say myself that congress is as corrupt as it always has been. Then the media more so.

#4 I have a mantra for this:

"You can hate me. You can hate yourself. You can't make me hate myself."

While others are outraged, Ima go play golf...

Life is never so bad that it can't get worse.

#6 Agree 100% with Frank G. I'm not mad enough to toss $40 worth of blades bt when they are gone I'm going non-gillette.

#7 40$? I started using regular safety razors 10 years ago - I don't think I spent 40 $ on them yet.
