:sarcasm:

Not just offensive but creepy. What kind of pig comes up with this stuff? Scarier still, there must have been enough pigs in charge who felt it was a good enough idea to actually make it a reality.

3. Well, you know
Some folks do get a weird sense of gratification from operating a computer. I can see how that can be a little creepy, though, and if it is used at all it should be used in the privacy of your own home.

4. Hmmm. Are those mens' cut-off shorts? (oops, target audience gaffe!)
:spray:

Sick and pointless and I agree... made in China too, no doubt, and I wonder what they think about us as a country. Not badly enough; they happily make 'em for us to buy... (note: I don't have one; I like to see where my hand is going.)

Some people believe their commercials too... You know, the ones where you spray that stuff until you you can asphyxiate the people around you and lots of women will come running up to have sex with you.

6. Eek. That is a skirt. I thought they were low-cut shorts...
Either way, it is sick...

I think I'll go back to the expensive name brand colognes. They cost more, but you don't see the makers of the posh names resorting to crudity such as what's pictured in the OP or those commercials... so misleading they deserve a lawsuit if laws existed saying misadvertising is illegal...

9. I just got that Propagandhi song in my head again...
Lyrics to Refusing To Be A Man:

I'm not going to try to tell you that I'm different from all the rest. I've been subject to the same de-structure of desire and I've felt the same effects; I'm a hetero-sexist tragedy. And potential rapists all are we. But don't tell me this is natural. This is nurturing. And there's a difference between sexism and sexuality. I had different desires prior to my role-remodelling. And at six years of age you don't challenge their claims. You become the same. (Or withdraw from the game and hang your head in shame). I think that's exactly what I did. I tried to sever the connections between me and them. I fought against their further attempts to convince a kid that birthright can bestow the power to yield the subordination of women and do you know what patricentricity means? I found out just a couple of days/months/years/minutes ago. It means male values uber alles and hey! Whaddaya know... sex has been distorted and vilified. I'm scared of my attraction to body types. If everything desired is objectified then maybe eroticism needs to be redefined. And I refuse to be a "man".

10. I think it's perfect.
I mean, it really says it all, doesn't it. He doesn't have a hand up anyone's skirt and here is why.

12. I use BLADE, a Canadian competitor
To date, I haven't seen a single ad or promo from Blade, let alone one that would be considered offensive. Hope they keep up the good work, because the body wash smells great.

As for that Axe promo - well, uh, that ain't exactly workplace-friendly, is it?

15. LOL.
Yes, that's as offensive as the boobs TV remote and the erotic light switch cover.
