Procter & Gamble pulls Clairol shampoo commercial and apologizes to nurses
June 11, 2003 -- As a result of protests from nurses, Procter & Gamble promised on June 9 to stop running a Clairol Herbal Essences television commercial that showed a female nurse leave her patient unmonitored to wash her hair in his bathroom, then dance around his room, waving her hair in ecstasy....more
Clairol has been running idiotic commercials for decades, but they outdid themselves with the shampoo thing:( It was the last straw for me: I now willingly drive>20 miles to a beauty supply place to buy hairdye, etc., from any company not affiliated with Clairol, P&G, or their subsidiaries.
Originally posted by teeituptomYa'll make good points for its removal but as a guy I kinda get a chuckle from those silly commercials.
Yah Tom, they're silly and we (as nurses)can shake our head and grin. Sadly, the uninformed Joe public does form opinions of professions based on such silly things though. Sexualizing female nurses has been going on too long, IMO.
Would a male nurse think it just 'silly' if they saw a male nurse on duty faking an orgasm while their patient became tachycardic?
Whaddya say guys? Is it different? Would ya complain?
