There's really no such thing as bad publicity!

Now, while I'm all for making media and ads more inclusive, sometimes people need to understand not everything is supposed to cater to absolutely everyone.

I remember a few years ago some people on social media got outraged at a famous brand of razors for a (very bland) ad, whose message was something along the line of 'unleash your inner goddess'.

You know, the brand being named after a Greek goddess and all.

A bunch of people apparently got pissed (and I mean seriously pissed) that a razor company was trying to sell their razors, implying that, to be beautiful, a woman should - well, shave.

According to them, the company should have instead reassured women that they were beautiful whether they decided to remove their hair or not.

Because that's what a razor company is supposed to do.
