Link-o-rama playoff edition

I'm assuming you've all heard the hullabaloo about Gillette and its anti-toxic masculinity commercial.

They do realize they are the name on the New England Patriots football field, Gillette Stadium, correct? Big supporters. So, even though it's a road game Sunday, will they be asking these guys to curb their toxic masculinity too? Or do they want them to wait until after the playoffs?



I was going to shave my toxicity this weekend but figure I'll give it another month since it seems we're heading into another cold snap.
