A Better Shave For Gamers

[mokes310]

I will settle for nothing less than <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV42I26tx2s' target=_blank>this.

I must have the quintippio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bah. Real gamers have BEARDS.

 

[Rodger]

I figured it was already marketed toward gamers. I mean, their naming convention is definitely comparable to a series like Resident Evil.

 

[ArchBlade]

What is with everyone trying to market everything towards gamers? Do they really think us that simple?

Bah... I'd still like that one from Penny Arcade though. If it was proportionate, I could perform a fatality with that thing.

Is it any worse than Mountain Dew's Gamer Fuel? It was just re-bottled Amp. We are as gullible as any other demographic.

Will the shaving bonus stack with my +3 Ring of Clean-shaviness?

 

[Andy Chalk]

If internet quizzes are to be believed (and they are!), if I keep scruffy-looking I'm Gandalf, but if I shave I become Saruman. The line between good and evil is razor thin...

 

[luckshot]

just to be clear, this is the standard razor only with extra blades and a battery? to me the fusion (i will not acknowledge the existence of a gamer version) seems like a cheese grater with a battery...as in they expect me to use that on my face/neck?

ill make my own razor, with hookers and black jack...

God damn it, every time you talk, I picture Mentok talking, and that just fit what he'd say perfectly.

Bah, there's only one razor advertised by sportsmen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJlSAj4H4tg] this gamer needs...


On a side note, I wonder how long it's going to be before Gillette releases the razor for porn actors, to use to shave their balls?

That's one group of people they haven't specifically targeted yet, and they'll be a whole lot more interested in a safe, smooth, close shave than gamers.

I found this bit on violent games on the Onion as well.

What presumptuous pricks! They should be expelled from the face of the Earth! Just because we are gamers we need a special razor for our facial hair!. We are people to you motherf**king twats. No different then they are, do not treat us like the special kids in school, just because we enjoy a different form of entertainment. They may as well be the jocks in highschool taking pity for the nerds but still treat them as lower class and still believe it is fine to treat them badly because we are viewed as lower, but guess what we are human! Go bankrupt gillette.

You know, as ridiculous as this is, it IS just only an advertisement. Good lord, is it really that upsetting to your day?

That being said, the target market is obviously not going to be fooled by something like this. Granted, niche markets exist and should have some untapped potential, but marketing something to an audience with little to no relevance to its practicality is disjointed at best.

Or maybe that was the intent all along. Think about how much press this has gotten.

More proof that advertisers are morons.
