Axe fails to attract!

Quote:
AN Indian man claims he has been cheated by the cosmetics firm that makes popular deodorant Lynx after failing to land a girlfriend for the past seven years. Vaibhav Bev has been using Lynx deodorant since 2002, in the hope the company's promotional campaign - which features scantily clad women throwing themselves at men - had some basis in real life.

Mr Bev is suing the maker of Lynx - marketed as Axe in his home country - for more than $100,000, seeking compensation for "depression and psychological damage".

"I used it for seven years but no girl came to me," he told the Daily Record.

Indian compensation lawyer Ram Jethmalani advised the company that makes Axe, Unilever, to settle out of court.

He said any claims by Unilever that Mr Bev failed to find a girlfriend because he was unattractive were unlikely to succeed.

Hahaha pompous much?

Has he tried doing things like saying "hi" or "hello"? Heck, Indian and Middle Eastern guys I saw in clubs were aggressive as hell, grinding up on women who want to be left alone and chasing them if they ran away. Those dudes were reportedly the most "likely to be drugged" in night life places in Thailand because they were considered to be the least generous foreigners when it came to tips.

I dunno what smells worse 12 year old boys who no longer bathe because they can douse themselves with axe, or pre axe 12 year old boys who bathed but doused them selves in Stetson and Johvan Musk. All I can think off in this article is the wonderful curry, axe and armpit smell that must have been wafting from this guy.

Americans know how to work the ladies I guess.

And it doesn't HAVE to involve a purchase of cheap sent.

On a related note, I plan on suing Gatorade because it failed to make me into Michael Jordan.

On that note, can I sue Red Bull for not giving me wings?

I'm pretty sure that's what axe wants you to think. Who wants a product that people can sue you for faulty advertiseing. I'm starting to think that maybe you work for axe.

Axe is a load of garbage. I can't believe the commercials are the way they are.

ROTFL!! You know this makes me think of..Pepe Le Pu. Boy does this story really stink.
Whats next Suing jewelers for every time one person in a relationship dumps the the other because the stone isn't big enough?

Let see..do the commercials say anything about "guaranteeing" that the product will score you women? No at least not that I can think of.

lol unbelievable what people will do just to scam for a buck.

I think human men should take guidance from our animal brethren when it comes to what fragrance to wear. Roll around in bison feces, in order to mask your scent, increase your undetectability, and make a successful kill. Women love a man who can provide.

Mmm, smells like Success!
