Can I return Gillette's merchandise because I was cheated through Tiger Woods ads?

Hi,

I bought a Gillette shaving cream and a razor because they showed in the advertisement that Tiger Woods uses them. They also seemed to claim in the advertisement that Tiger Woods is a nice and reliable guy and so is Gillette. They never said about him being the top class golfer, they only claimed that he has a good personality and he uses Gillette's products.

Now since we all know that he is not such a nice guy, so can I return back used Gillette's products because they used a phony person in their advertisement? I bought their products only because Tiger Woods uses them, now it does not make any sense.

Update:

Well I understand that only because the celebrity in the advertisement is "not as good as expected" does not mean that the product advertised is also bad. However, that is what the Gillette advertisement seemed to claim. That was the sole purpose that they paid millions to Woods to work for them.

I am looking for a legal answer. I know returning my product because of this reason is as stupid as Gillette assuming that people will buy their products because apparently Tiger Woods uses them. But is it still a legal possibility?

    Yes.

    And you also need to piss out all the gatorade you drank, rebottle and return it too.

    I watch sports; not so much golf. I can't remember a single gillette commercial with Tiger. I know the Buick (why was he driving a Caddie when he crashed?) and the Tag Hauer. But I don't recall a single gillette commercial.
