Axe Snake Peel (yes, I know you see what is coming next; I wish I had) is through a semi-clever website, Order of the Serpentine, a secret society that men can join to remove the “shame caused by questionable hook-ups.” This seems to be defined as any hook-up with a woman who is not physically perfect as defined by current western model standards. Because god forbid that guys should never be grateful that any woman would be goodly enough to want to sleep with them. Nope. They should be embarrassed that they gave in to regular women’s beastly urges. My guess is that most of the guys who use this soap are no prizes themselves. I hope that they are generous enough to share some snake peel with the women who are probably regretting (or should) hooking up with them.
I do love the spoof of the Masons and Shriners, though. Gotta give props for that. Why is it that so much creative energy is wasted on bullshit? Sigh.

If my life were different, I would be a slut that kills people that use this product, the people you describe. I would, however, work in advertising.

ReplyDeleteRemember that line about "Good for GM, Good for America"? Well, it's morphed into the claim that what's good for the Shareholders is good for.. the Company's bottom line and that is, somehow, good for America. Utterly missing the demonstrable fact that Cheaper means crappier, not better.
At best, cheaper is kitschy and good only in very small doses.
(Sorry if this seems off-topic. I've got a post on it which I just can't seem to write, so had to share the linkage somewhere.. .)
I think Old Spice or Adidas or whomever got it right: there is NO such thing as a hot, sticky, sweaty GUY.
ReplyDeleteSeriously... Axe has got it all wrong! I'M the one who feels the need to hop into the shower and use my man-slaying body wash to cleanse myself of the man-sweat from any and all regrettable hook-ups!
