Anyone else sick of these Axe/Tag body spray commercials?

[Lethe]

gimme a break....jeez. It's degrading to women and patronizing to young men.

[Cannikin]

1. I'm gonna have to axe you not to wear that

[khashka]

2. I kinda like them

Women are portrayed as dumb as dumb can be and men are even dumber sex objects.

But there is no real nastiness there, they get the joke.

8. i dont think the teenage guys who buy it get the joke

they buy it because they think women like it, just because a commercial says so

:shrug:

[DS1]

3. eh

I use the body wash now and then - progmom seemed to approve, and that's all the validation I need :D

[progmom]

14. yep - you definitely smelled very good

:hi: and smells are very important :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. I can agree that I am sick...SICK of the smell of it on prepubescent

boys who haven't yet gotten the idea that less is more. My daughter's boyfriend was over. Twenty minutes after he left, my son comes out of his room and says,"Ben was over....?" Blech.

[Fox Mulder]

5. I wear the stuff.

I'm thinking about suing both companies. Whenever I wear the stuff, no one ever jumps me in public to have sex.

(I'm kidding, by the way.)

[Loonman]

6. You don't need AXE

You get all the horny middle aged women you want over at the supermarket, during the day. At least that's what I heard.


;)

[realisticphish]

7. meh

equal degredation cancels itself out ;)

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. Axe/Tag commercials can go away along with the Dietech ones

Am sick of the Dietech BS ads being played ad nauseum

[Taverner]

10. Could be worse - the BOD commercials were truly a work of art

Had the subtlety of a Herpes Ad, the style of a phone sex ad that ran in the late 80's....

[ghostsofgiants]

11. The commercials are almost as bad as the product itself...

Jesus that stuff is rank. My brother wears it. I'm just glad I don't live at home anymore.

[MN ChimpH8R]

12. Awful ads they are

Never smelled the stuff but I can guess that it's probably this generation's Brut or Hai Karate. Blech.

And will someone PLEASE pull the plug on that f#$%^ing Subaru ad with the Kansas song? :grr:

[Beer Snob-50]

13. those of us who allure women with our natural hunkiness

scoff at those who feel the need to buy artifical phrenomes to attract the ladies.

scientist have been known to wipe mens crotches with towels and then wipe chairs with that same towel. most women in that study sat in the chair that was wiped with crotch odor.

[anarch]

15. somehow that sounds more like something from the show "Jackass"

than it does a scientific experiment.


Also, I hate those damn commercials.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. So I can get chicks by using ball sweat as aftershave?

(slaps forehead) Why didn't I think of that before?

[asthmaticeog]

19. Brilliant!

(slaps balls on forehead) And to think of all the money I've wasted on soap!

[StopTheMorans]

22. well, that, or else you just hang 'em out and put a fan behind you

and watch the women come a'runnin!

[Kellanved]

23. fan = spinning blades

Sounds like a manly idea.

[StopTheMorans]

24. only if you got some to spare

;)

[TimeChaser]

28. Well, you've got pheromones from the glands in your armpits too

So there's always that alternative

[SammyBlue]

17. Is it any worse than "drink this beer and hot chicks will blow you"

or "wear this piece of clothing and the woman will be all over you!"

"Drive this car or you're a loser."

"Get this diamond ring and she's bang your head off"

"Get this insurance or you're going to die."

Sex and fear sell. You want ass, you want to be popular, you want to live.

It works, mate. Sadly, ad execs and corporations things we're mindless, shallow scum because their ads give them away. And, with alot of people, they are right, sadly.

[WillParkinson]

18. I wear it...

Several girls at work hug me and tell me I smell good. As a gay man I'm considered "STH" (Safe To Hug)

[arwalden]

20. I Like Them... You'll Get No Complaints From Me.

Except that Axe is a UNILEVER product... and Unilever fired Whoopi Goldberg because she supported John Kerry and made an off-color comment about Bush's last name.

[WCGreen]

21. It's this generations Hi Karate...

Only this time, no pro football player is that desperate to endorse the crap.....

[Deja Q]

25. I don't watch mainstream tv. Sorry.

[In_The_Wind]

26. They Are Bad!

:thumbsdown:

[jmowreader]

27. It's like "Crazy People" except it's not true

Like the ad Dudley Moore drew that said Jaguars were for men who want handjobs from women they hardly know. "This...is for that."
