Why are we SO worried that these guys “can’t” get a girlfriend? It’s no longer nececcary to propagate the species by “being fruitful and multiplying”.

Your christian doctrine sucks…

simply they make you see some exemples of guys that had..sublimate the need of a girlfriend in some pretty much unuseful activities…Axe should help you being more attractive and sexy, helping you coming out from your “addiction” to finally enter in the “latin lover’s world”

1) Axe smells absolutely DISGUSTING. It’s more of a repellent than a deodorant.

2) Why should any of these guys need a girlfriend? Who gives a damn and why does one need a piece of arm candy to boost their social status.

3) All of Axe’s ads are ridiculous and degrading to women.

Have fun continuing to market your horrible product! :D

This is so stupid. What kind of girlfriend would want their guy to stop doing these cool things? Nerdy guys are the best. And by the way, AXE reeks something awful. REAL men don’t wear it.

Mera said,

August 6, 2007 @ 8:21 am

Real men get REAL girls by being themselves :D
None of these guys are fat stnky people who use axe in exchange for body spray… I’d rather date any of these guys than other axe wearing “men” I met xD

Anita said,

August 6, 2007 @ 12:59 pm

pffft! I doubt any girl could stop them from doing such awesome things. Nerdy guys are the best!

Also, Axe stinks.

These boys are way cooler than any jerk who thinks axe will get him a girlfriend.

Being somewhat experienced in marketing, I would say that this ad is pretty effective. (Even if the only reason people remember your product is because the ad made them angry.)

And by the way: these things are not nerdy. They are cool and much more productive than dinking around with some chick.

I hate Axe. A lot.

What kind of a girlfriend wouldn’t want her boyfriend to pursue smart, unique, and quirky interests? Geeks & Nerds are awesome, and way more fun than “normal” guys.

Also, most guys laugh at men who use Axe. And us girls think it reeks. Anyone gullible enough to think a cheap body spray will make them appealing is pathetic to the extreme.

I hate Axe.

Geeks and Nerds are the best and I wish I had a geek boyfriend to play stupid and funny games with. And Axel smells.
