Right, so we all know that Axe / Lynx attract horny females to the extent that you have to swat them off with sticks... Now apparently, they've invented an Axe that ejects any girls who don't fall in to the category of perfect, also known in the medical community as lobotomized. Any lady with keen observational skills that concludes "he can't dance" is ejected and goes fly flying away. Yeah that's not at all offensive. Perhaps the funny is lost in the translation.

PermalinkIt's not good. But I'm intrigued - is there any evidence at all to show that Axe attracts women? Even a bit?

PermalinkSweet smells better than sweat, I guess but I can't say I ever ravaged an Axe-wearing man.

PermalinkI dunno. I'd rather have the smell of fresh sweat than a noseful of dodgy deodorant. It's deodorant, for God's sake – they all smell like toilet cleaner.

PermalinkI concur.
Also, there is a piece missing in the translation "Now with more yes" indicates that all the girls lines were "no" - that's just not clear in English. Though, I don't know if it makes sense anyway.

PermalinkYes, it's not at all clear. And the implication by the 'ejection' is that if women don't like you, they're just plain wrong - so why do you need Axe to change their minds?
- reply
PermalinkWhat's really off here (axe-strategy wise that is) is that Axe isn't changing their minds.
Ah, we've come a long long way since the brilliance of Paid Pipers Revenge haven't we?

PermalinkI liked the last lady flying away "He is my cousin!". Sounds like a mostly good reason to NOT hook-up with him (except maybe in the back-woods areas).
