Man sues over lack of 'Lynx effect'
A luckless Indian romeo is suing Lynx after he failed to land a single girlfriend during seven years of using their products.

Vaibhav Bedi, 26, is seeking £26,000 from parent company Unilever for the "depression and psychological damage" caused by the lack of any Lynx effect.
Court officials in New Delhi have agreed to order forensic laboratory tests on dozens of his half-used Lynx body washes, shampoos, anti-perspirants and hair gels.

Yeah, I should add that I use some of their hair products. I just think their marketing campaign is ridiculous.

I think the Chocolate Axe commercial is hilarious and disturbing. The scene where the woman on the bus takes a bite out his ass is hysterical although there's a version of the commercial in which she's shown with brown smeared all around her huge grin. That's might be taking it a bit far.

the only time I ever use axe is if I sleep somewhere that's not home and I need to go somewhere. I keep a can in my car for emergencies

The Chocolate ad is amusing, but weird at the same time. I don't want to get bitten. Why would I even want to smell like Chocolate anyway?

Probably attract more overweight, chocolate hungry girls instead of the slimer healthy diet girls anyway.

On this note, I coach boys in the exclusive Axe target market, guys, do not apply a spray on deodorant when you're in a soccer locker room, or enclosed environment of any kind.

I know a lot of the guys keep a can in their soccer bag, but dont put it on in the locker room.

That would be brilliant.


Btw, my daughter got a hot wheels car in her treat bag last night. She was not impressed with the car shaped like a toilet or "Hot Seat".

So one part of the company encourages men to be bad boys, encourages misogyny, objectifying women etc while the other part tells women that their inner beauty is important.

Effing lame if you ask me.
I think it's great that you pointed that out. When the dove ads came out I got flamed by my female friends who ate it up when I mentioned that dove was just patronizing women to sell more crap and did not give a flying fata about 'realistic,' 'curvy' women.

I say, keep using and buying AXE. It makes all of us who know better that much more appealing.

I agree, I find that commercial really creepy as well.
