Gillette Launches NoScruf Viral Campaign

It seems Boston’s Digitas has been busy creating a Geocities-like site for Gillette called NoScruf. NoScruf stands for National Organization of Social Crusaders Repulsed by Unshaven Faces, a group ,headed by apparent swimsuit model Terry Tarentelli, that is sick and tired of the unshaven, male scruffy look. In a sort of protest, women on the site appear unshaven with hair on their legs and under their arm pits. There’s a couple films that document the movement. The site is purposefully designed to look like crap and just like Geocities sites of yesteryear, there’s broken links, cheesy graphics and really bad typeface. It all kinda makes you want to go out and by a really good razor…from Gillette, of course.
