(em)ilwaukee through the eyes of a (kid)

In this corner; 188 cm and weighing in at 90 kilos wearing the black shirt and using tiger style kung-fu MiiiiiIIIIILLLL TOWNKID! (crowd goes wild of course) And in this corner; really short, has bad breath and is about to catch an ass kicking, Gillette (gel clean skin with tea tree oil). (Boooo hssss hssss) The events leading up to the fight are as follows. A couple weeks ago I ran out of shaving cream so the Pingster (that’s I Ping aka the wife) picks some up for me on the way home from work. It NEVER worked from day one. I tried shaking it, baking it, popping the top and pressing it in manually, nothing worked. Then, one day Namahottie, Pingster and I are walking back from the acupuncturist and I made a comment about how I’m gonna take it to the man for selling me some bum shaving cream. They made some silly girly comments about how silly guys are and how they like to talk (but not act). So now I’m going to chronicle the epic battle between me and the shaving cream. Well it starts with me googling Gillette to find it’s homepage. What’s this I see for #2 in the google rank? Boycott Gillette. Looks like I’m not the only one that wants to take it to the man (but they have different reasons). Going through the Gillette site is a nightmare, they’re contact page doesn’t seem to work so I ended up at another site they own and got a contact window up. Here’s the message that was sent:

What do I do with a can of shaving cream that doesn’t work? My wife bought some, but she doesn’t have the receipt anymore. I’d just want to trade it in for a new one if I could. I’m in Taibei, Taiwan. Thanks [Real Name omitted] aka miltownkid http://www.miltownkids.com TIGER STYLE!
