School shut due to overwhelming smell of Axe body spray

[ehrnst]

Emergency crews rushed to a prep school in Brooklyn Wednesday following reports of a "hazardous smell" in a classroom. The dangerous and disgusting chemical responsible: Axe body spray. A student at Medgar Evers College Preparatory School released the spray in a classroom full of sixth graders, and prompting a shutdown of the school. Emergency workers transported eight students to hospitals, and parents took two others to see doctors. There were no serious injuries, but school officials say disciplinary action is pending for the student who sprayed the classroom. As if smelling like Axe all day wasn't punishment enough.

1. middle schoolers ...

... it figures. They are somehow too young to notice just how nasty that stuff smells.

2. This happened at the high school here

last year. Some kid was using, just the right amount I'm sure, Axe after showering and it set off the smoke alarm in the locker room.

5. Great commercials ...

The supermarket couple is a brilliant spot. Thanks for sharing.

21. I keep going to supermarkets hoping that will happen to me

someday...

I go to organic co-ops and refuse to wear Axe though so maybe that's the problem.

11. Better: GOP school shut down due to overwhelming smell of body odor.

Talk to your kids about the GOP before its too late.

12. I'd rather smell like Axe body spray than body odor.

13. Friends don't let friends wear Axe.

14. Gawd I Remember - High School & AXE

I made a kid take off his shirt and put on one of my son's shirts because of the AXE.. Chemical fragrances give me migraines - my son would try putting on just a little - but I could smell it a mile away. So many NEW fragrances on the market from AXE to every pop star having one for the girls.

It's a problem, they should ban this shit in schools.

17. One (lucky) school did ban Axe because of an allergic reaction:

The cast of the MTV show The Jersey Shore, had to unexpectedly cancel their visit to Medgar Evers College Preparatory School today, shortly after showing up.

16. Careful with that Axe Eugene

Not sure what to think about emergency workers needing to get involved.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. Good one.

It'd be funny if the kid's name was actually Eugene.

19. A lot of old guys like Axe too!

My job takes me into many kitchens and bathrooms and we see tons of old guys with the entire Axe kit. They even have the manly black scrubber

So embarrassing
