I'm a saddo ... I actually boycott products with crap annoying adverts. Unfortunately I wasn't going to buy one of these before anyway so I don't have the pleasure of boycotting this now
That's the worst part- the cheesy 'stache and the new slogan "Leave Nothing Undone" seems like a lower class Debbie Does Dallas kind of thing.Def
You know if it was just a little bit cheesy, it wouldn't be so bad. I'm thinking a tongue-in-cheek spoof on the MacGyver idea would be kinda funny, but this guy's just a smurfhead that would make you run away screaming if he offered you 'help'.
Has anyone wrote a E-Mail to customer service letting them know how bad this makes the company look? If not I might have to.

If not I might have to.Don't think it will help, response has been positive on facebook, so we appear to be in the minority.As a matter of fact, "Wingman" has replaced Juli for the next few weeks on FB:From Juli:"GONNA STEP AWAY FOR A BIT :: Hey folks...Gonna be stepping away for a bit here to let someone new take a crack at the page. If you haven't already heard the rumblings and seen some of the first shots being posted here...The Wingman has arrived."Wingman:"Wingman's got this!!!Everyone remain calm!!! This Facebook page isn't messed up... The Wingman is here. That’s right, amigo – me and the new Wingman tool from Leatherman. Sometimes a bro needs help with important stuff. You know, fixing things that need fixing. Lady problems. Whatever it is Wingman's got this. So for the next few weeks I'll be the B.I.C around here. That’s right, the Bro in Charge."
I dunno... Unless you're already a member of this forum, multitools just aren't sexy. How do you promote a product that most people don't get excited about? Always having a handy tool just in case does not get you the girl unless you have literally just saved her life with it. My wife always just rolls her eyes when I come to rescue with a pocketknife/multitool, even when she'd be inconvenienced if no one had a tool handy. I got her a Juice XE6 and she completely forgot about it.I mean, eye-catching, mildly amusing, and slightly annoying might be just about as good as it gets. That said, I still liked the lobster better...
