    It doesn't need to hurt them for it to be a failure. If you launch a controversial (and fucking retarded) ad campaign, its supposed to HELP you.

    How many people bought more gillette because of it?
    Zero you say? Wow what a great ad campaign!

    Blob and lying Atl to the rescue! Gillette is not as valuable today as it was in 2005 because the shaving market is shrinking and direct to consumer brands like Dollar Shave Club are undercutting them, not because some ad hurt the feelings of conservatard snowflakes. Pretty smart of P&G to write down Gillette's value to 49 billion as should set it up for success going forward which is why their stock hit a record today.

    In its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report, the company said Gillette has consistently generated “significant” earnings and cash flow and continues to be a strategic business with growth opportunities.

    The consumer products giant gave two reasons for the write-down. First, the company said that currency devaluations since the carrying values were first established in 2005 played a significant role.

    P&G’s second reason for the write-down is the market contraction of blades and razors, primarily in developed markets.

    So they are really doing great and the $8B write-off was a good thing and nothing more than a flesh wound, Got it. I knew you could put your head even further up your ass Scotty.
    It wasn't a write off, it was a write down. Fucking idiot.

    I'm sure they only spent a hundred million on that Ad campaign. According to Scotty hemorrhaging cash, especially cash spent on a shitty Ad campaigns that turns off some of your customer base is a good thing.

    Stupid pro-feminazi ads and 10-cartridge refills for $25 will get you the middle finger from a customer or two.

    Yes, if you're a fucking moron who thinks Gillette did great this past quarter you'd probably think that.

    A write-down is performed in accounting to reduce the value of an asset to offset a loss or expense. A write-down becomes a write-off if the entire balance of the asset is eliminated and removed from the books altogether

    Next time you can fly speck my spelling Scott.
