This is so shockingly brazen that I can't even be disgusted. I'm just stunned by the sheer chutzpah.

Must be how the typical Soviet Union farmer felt upon reading in Pravda that crop yields were up 800%.

Been using Feather blades in my DE razor for four years now. Waiting on a shipment from the Traditional Shaving Company right now, in fact. Less than 30 bucks and I'll have blades that will last me two years.

Honest question.

Let's say you're in a thin hallway and that thing went psychotic then came barreling down the hallway at ramming speed towards you.

Do you think you could drop that monster or would you get mangled?

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

Ya it was hard to believe this was real when I first saw it. However, the public seems to not be accepting this crap as tons of comments say they will not be buying their razors anymore.

Won't matter. Gillette is owned by Proctor & Gamble and good luck boycotting every brand they own:

Not hard to boycott em all.. which I am doing.

RE: Gillette releases new toxic masculinity commercial: "The Best Men Can Be"
The comments on Gillette's Twitter were interesting. The responses from the SJWs amounted to reframing any criticism or negative comments about the ad, the model, or the message as denying fat people the right to exist.

Which I suppose has some thread of truth. I wish fat people didn't exist, because I'd rather see fit and healthy people. But that means I merely want better for fat people and for fat people to be better, not that I think they should be exterminated or whatever paranoid horrors these loons are visualizing when they fart up these mental copypasta responses.

I'd love to ask someone who thinks like this what it is they see in their mind's eye when they use this verbal imagery. Unfortunately (or maybe not) I don't know any people who do this in real life. I'm sure the answer would just be a rabbit hole of rote slogans and jargon that they've memorized but don't comprehend themselves, though, and not something enlightening or even interesting.

Third option: I'd pull out a Twix bar and toss it in front of the lumbering monstrosity, then sneak off while it was devouring it.

Obviously any man who lifts wouldn't have a problem.

The question is, which brand of hand sanitizer would you bathe in afterwords?

RE: Gillette releases new toxic masculinity commercial: "The Best Men Can Be"
< Commercials like that will one day be laughed at, because they are utterly propaganda driven.

It's just pure feminist politics in one. That woman is morbidly obese and needs help and a therapy - not more encouragement to "slay the day".

The entire ad is akin to Soviet propaganda that tells you that you are living in the greatest country on Earth while your kids are starving and everyone knows that the West lives much better. But the Soviets expected you to bend your mental knee and accept their lies as truth.

Just as now the Gillette propaganda workers expect both men and women to bend their mental knee and pretend this picture to be "empowering and beautiful".

For over a century modern advertisements idealized the feminine as well as the masculine:

[Image: 1950s-uk-gillette-magazine-advert-EXTJ28.jpg]

[Image: telly-savalas-for-gillette-twinjector-bl...by-tom.jpg]

Then the reality-twisting propaganda began to permeate our perception thus predating the imminent collapse of the West, since you cannot get to this stage without being utterly sick and unwell. When companies feel comfortable enough to shit on their male customer base or push insane sick body perversions, then you know that the West hasn't much longer to go in this civilizational cycle. It's tantamount to ancient Rome serving you cooked embryo babies amid huge wife-sharing orgies.

I used Feather blades occasionally before. They're very high quality, very sharp, and very unforgiving on technique. One poorly executed stroke and you're getting cut.

I can get behind that company more than I can P&G.

The question is, which brand of hand sanitizer would you bathe in afterwords?

I guess I'm just assuming she's seven feet tall based on how the photo is shot.

I know a woman who's damn near 7 foot and probably weighs about as much as that beast above though in her case it's distributed a bit more evenly. I'm no slouch but if she came at me at a trot then the weight combined with the velocity would be difficult to stop. Even if you managed a world-star shot to the head then they're still going to crush you in a sort of mutually assured destruction.

I used to know guys who had to deal with fat fucks like this in hospitals when they went apeshit for want of extra gravy and whatnot (not even kidding, some of them would get violent if their food serves weren't large enough).

It's apparently a real nightmare. There's virtually nothing you can grab a hold of because the skin flops around so far and if they fall on you it's harder to get out from under than a futon mattress. If you've ever had to grab a really fat person by the arm you'd know what I mean. Your hands are programmed to feel skin then muscle then bone when you apply certain amounts of pressure, but what happens when you grab a fatty is that the skin rolls away from the muscle AND the bone and you're left with nothing but a handful of skin. It triggers something in the psyche. Ever picked up something that was the opposite of what you were expecting and the unexpected tactile sensation makes you violently withdraw? (picking up something really cold that was meant to be warm or vice versa)

When you grab at a fatty's arm and get nothing but skin it's like you thought you were grabbing a human but suddenly realize you've grabbed an alien that just looks like a human. And there's that horrible moment when you realise the alien knows that you know it's not human.

I had a high school teacher who was a scuba diver and did search-and-rescue work in the nearby lakes. He described for us one day what it's like to recover a drowning victim after a prolonged time in the water. The part that stuck with me was that the waterlogged corpse appears fat, and is very difficult to handle because the skin is like that of an overripe tomato - try to grip it too hard and it disintegrates.

I think of his description whenever I see doughy fat people like this model, or fat people with that tight-skinned, inflated look. (Encountered one of the latter this afternoon. About 5' 10”, 400 pounds of solid lard uniformly distributed from top to toes. Wife drops him off at the door of the grocery store as I'm walking in, and I see him a few minutes later walking out of the candy aisle with a couple bags of Starbursts in hand. Slay the whole bag!)
