The delicious irony of B&B online advertising

[raisindot]

Given our common advocacy of DE/SE wetshaving and our common disdain for all things cartridge, I find the Googlized posting of ads like these on this site to be deliciously ironic.

Even the headline for the ad itself is wonderful in that it can be read, given its context on this site, as a complete redpudiation of the product it's selling!

I wonder how much Gillette is paying for these ads. Talk about media displacement. Only on the Internet!

That's too funny. I missed that ad. I keep getting the Rolling Razor.

Wow! I hadn't been paying attention to the ads. Sort of an automatic thing.

That's hysterical.
