One of the world's foremost brands of feminine hygiene products wanted to join in on the discussion about how the platform is going to die at the hands of its new owner. The newest addition to the hall of fame was probably meant to be a sarcastic joke.
On Monday morning, the company said that it wouldn't let the social network die without sharing something. A person who asked someone out online and then compared that person to someone who inserted a feminine hygiene product was idiotic. Since it was inside the person, it was superior according to the company.
You're in their messages. They're in us. We are not the same as the other brands owned by P&G. It said that it wouldn't let the social network shut down before it shared the message.
Always, which is owned by P&G, chimed in as well.
How long have you been saving this one?
The response was similar to dumb middle school boy jokes.
The maker of feminine hygiene products said that since last period.
There is more than gross-out humor at stake. It sexualizes the bodies of people who menstruate and makes a joke at the expense of men.
It was a dumb sales move to send a weird and disrespectful message. Many people on the social networking site said they would stop buying products from the brand. Many began to use the #boycottTampax on their social media accounts.
You are not good at anything. A company that sells products to women publicly mocks them in a degrading way and then takes joy in doing so is not something I have seen before.
Gizmodo tried to get a response from P&G on Tuesday, but they didn't reply.
