Axe commercials really annoy me!
What's up Media Studies Crew! How many of you have studied the Axe commercial? I actually caught a couple (a variation of three, sometimes back to back) when I was over at a buddies house the other day. They were watching some stand-up on comedy central. It was this Indian American, and he must've been targeted for the teenage-college crowd because the Axe commercials dominated the breaks in the show. They were on at least three times between the stand-up, and were ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. They were funny at first. Apparently the stand up was bad enough that the Axe company wasn't satisfied with paying for one or two spots in the breaks. They wanted to make sure anybody momentarily tuned in to the show would get a glimpse of some dude sprigging himself with a spraypaint can of some cologne/ deoderant, and getting mauled by a group of sex-starved women that sniffed in on his pheromone. I dunno, with a pitch like that on every single commercial, I would be really embarrased to be seen with a can of that. For the college man that's still a virgin, one spray of this, and you'll be A OK. RIDICULOUS...
