With all the oil spills, corporate greed, and his habit for putting razor blades in apples, the Man has a busy day. In fact, it is hard to keep up with all of his misdoings.
Recently, we caught the Man up to no good again. This effort was particularly nefarious, since he disguised his evil by claiming he was helping clean the environment.
Proctor and Gamble’s Dawn dish soap recently claimed that they give $1 from every bottle sold to help clean up oil spills. They spent millions of dollars advertising this point. Unfortunately, it was almost complete hogwash. They added a secret loophole that keeps them from making most of the donations.
For your $1 to count, you have to go to their website and register your UPC code. If you don’t, they make no donation. Essentially, the Man is advertising that he’ll clean up the oil spill, when he will make a small donation. The fine print also puts a cap on the total dollars donated.
We think it is a good thing to make a donation to clean up oil spills, but this advertising campaign is so twisted that we had to report it.
