BAHAHA ALLCAPSDOUCHEWASH! I lol’ed! Also lol’ed at the opportunity to smell like ancient leathers such as Hippogryphs. Teehee. That said, AXE is an older product no? I remember the first smells not being horrible or having douchetastic commercials. It still gave me a headache (I’m allergic to almost all smells like that) but it didn’t smell asstastical. I agree it does now =/.

Damn you MGK! I have been totally ear-wormed by that song ever since I read this post.

*shakes fist at MGK*

Utter failure at marketing, or clever guerrilla ploy by AXE’s competitors?

I hate it when marketing idiots decide words mean whatever they want them to mean.

I also hate AXE just based on their advertising. Next time I’m in a store that sells it, I’m going to make a point of finally finding out what it smells like, just so I can differentiate douchebags who smell disgusting because they voluntarily applied AXE to themselves from douchebags who smell disgusting for other reasons. Now I know to bring a barf-bag with me. (Now I also know why those “cleanup on aisle 5″ announcements are for the HBC aisle so often.)

@Fred Davis: “ALLCAPSDOUCHEWASH” is genius, sir. Pure genius. Why isn’t there body wash that smells like *you*?

An anonymous female student at my University once took out an ad in the campus newspaper BEGGING the male student body to quit using AXE in the locker rooms and reeking up the kinesiology complex. I think the words “for the love of all that is good and holy” may have been used.

I automatically assume that anyone who says, “My fiancee/girlfriend like AXE/TAG,” that they have a real significant other the way *my* pet bear wouldn’t ever eat me.

Reading the request, I THINK they’re trying to define “power anthem” as “night you lost your cherry”. The “wild night that changed you”, where you partied [or other euphemism of your choice] so hard that you might need to clean up afterward…

So I don’t think they’re as confused about “power anthem” as they are about how to communicate.

Not that it excuses them their myriad other offenses, mind you.

So, the big takeaway here is that you want all of us to know that Kia wanted to send you on a trip to Korea. Got it.

I use AXE deodorant just because Old Spice smells like my grandpa. And not the live one.

I’d suggest you reply and just include a link to this article to see if he replies asking where to send the bag of crap.

I’m sure he just got your address on a list that some intern handed him and likely has never read nor has any intention of visiting your site, so if you sent a link he might assume you posted without bothering to check, just to reach his quota of 25 packages sent out to various bloggers.

On the other hand once you acknowledge them, they’ll never leave you alone. Another lesson from internet dating.

Wait, you DON’T want to hear about other people’s pukefests, then?

(Passive aggressive voice:) Well! I guess I won’t bother sending you that e-mail about what happened to me on opening day for The Corpse Bride, NOT THAT I MIND EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY WROTE IT AND IT’S RILLY RILLY FUNNY.

Fun fact:

Axe was developed from chemical weapons the U.S. confiscated from Saddam Hussein.

When I was a teenager, the guys who were desperate to get laid wore Brut. It was ghastly. The first time I smelled a guy wearing Brut, I was really confused as to what he’d been doing that would make him smell like that. I thought maybe he’d had some kind of accident with cleaning fluids or something, and he didn’t have time to go home and wash it off. It never occured to me that someone would smell like that on purpose.

I’d like to point out that my fiance does like the smell of axe, but that just means that *she* wears it, not me.
