Life Imitates the Onion - Gillette

It almost ceases to be interesting, but I'm going to refer back to a classic opinion article from The Onion on Feb 18, 2004.

Well, f#ck it. We're going to five blades.
By James M. Kilts
CEO and President,
The Gillette Company

Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the f#cking vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no.

Today, MSNBC is reporting that:
Gillette ups the ante, unveils 5-blade razor

I guess I should keep in mind all of The Onion articles that didn't come to pass in a year or two, and be grateful.
