  1. I think the commercial has a good message behind it. I think people are criticizing it so much because a few people think that they are saying all boys do these things when only some boys do this. I do not think that the ad should be banned because I personally see nothing wrong with it, some people do but I do not.

  2. Thoughts on the advertisement shown above is an advertisement that no on would use because its cringe. People criticize commercials because it takes to much time away. It annoys everyone because its not important at the moment. Tv without advertisements would not be best because then no one would know what to buy and how quality is. No its should not be banned.

  3. I think this video/commercial has a great message behind it. I think people are criticizing it way too much saying all boys do this because they’re boys. I think this ad should not get banned because it has done nothing wrong and in fact it’s teaching us what is going on and what needs to be stopped. Some people want it to be banned, but I don’t think that it should.

  4. I think this Commercial should definitely not be banned because like the others said it has a great story behind it. I think they are criticizing this ad so much because, well on the news in the morning the reporters have to say all the things that are happening all over the world and they probably had nothing to say and were desperate so they just started criticizing about this ad and then I guess everyone else started doing it too. So ya I do not think this ad should be banned. Also this ad to me is very sad because everything I saw and heard is true. All the bullying and fighting it happens,it's not like they are making things up.

  5. THE Gillette commercial is fine because they made other inspiring commercial like theres one about to football players who were getting though by there dad how to shave and one of the guys only had one hand .IT was inspiring because that guy would train everyday to get better and finaly he play in the nfl for the seashawks

  6. I do not have many thoughts on this but my thought is that I don't like that they say boys always bully and they will always fight. i kinda like that they add the dad breaking up the fight and when the dad stops the bullies from bullying that kid and the son and he sees how his dad saved that kid from the bullies.people are probably criticizing because how the boys are bullying and the boys are portrayed as bad people in this ad because girls can be bullies and they can be bad and the dads are shown that they are all bad people and moms can be bad.in my opinion, this shouldn't be banned because its just saying some [males] are bad they are just trying to make a story so people can buy their products so i think it shouldn't be banned.

  7. My thoughts on this video can be in a couple of words what did I just watch. First thing is that boys are not the only ones who get into fights girls can to and when people fight like the two boys fight the parents just say oh its okay they are boys. So if they were fighting to the death oh they are boys so its okay, now that is mest up. I think the people that are wanting it banned they are so right. If I had the power to get it banned I would.

  8. I think that this video/ad has a good message behind it. I think that people are criticizing so much because they think all the boys fight and do bad stuff but only some of them do and it is not necessarily true because it is not always boys. But it is true that it could be seen that way. I don’t think that it should get banned.

  9. In my opinion, I never understand why they are talking about something completely different to what their advertising.I think why people are criticizing this ad because of all the inappropriate things that are happening and if an adult is watching TV with their kids it would be inappropriate.I think it should be banned because of all the bad things in the ad like bullying and the inappropriateness.

  10. I think that the advertisement is not really a shaving commercial and is more about how people get bullied. I think a lot of people are criticizing it because it advertises people touching girls buts and it also has bullying in it. I think it should be banned because it is a bit too inappropriate for little kids and it advertises bad stuff.

  11. I think this advertisement was good but the sexualassalt part wasn't good. I think they should stick to shaving commercials. I think people are not happy with it because all men are different they should be the way the want to be . But this add is like saying that all men should not get into fights or even take risks, men should a be the same. I don't think they should ban in but they should make some changes, good ones.

    I think people are criticising it because Personal grooming company Gillette has drawn a lot of attention for its latest ad campaign, which urges men to take a more active role in fighting toxic masculinity. I don't know if it should be banned that you opinion.
