Hrm, to be "outraged" against P&G or not...

[RblDiver]

Saw this story about Proctor & Gamble getting flack from Germans for supposedly having a neo-nazi code on some detergent bottles:

At first, I thought it was a ridiculous story about some people getting in a tizzy over nothing (the use of "18" on the bottle, supposedly a code for Hitler in Germany). Then I saw P&G's statement:

"We very much regret if there are any false associations and distance ourselves clearly from any far-right ideology."

Why oh why does everyone associate Naziism with the right? National Socialists, it's left-wing, not right!
/feels some faux outrage of my own starting up >.>

So Payton Manning is a Nazi?

[Ah Pook]

I'm guessing a P&G faux pas.


Like this warning.

To clear the matter up, P&G will add the following warning labels to its product: "For clothes cleansing, not ethnic cleansing" and "Meant to clean jeans, not genes."

No, Naziism was definitely far right.

Lol Ah pook.

[MrPrena]

It is as dumb as the rumor in the 80s. During the 80s, people were calling out on Proctor and Gamble for supporting devil.

Something about devil worshiping or liking Subarus.

Something about devil worshiping or liking Subarus.

There's a difference?

[GilpinGuy]

Do they distance themselves from far left ideology too?

Label, schmabel...All I care, is if it works. Some people are far too sensitive, and have way too much time on their hands.
