Man's Stinky Cheeks Invite Rape by Woman

And now, a Friday Flashback. (flashback, flashback, flashback)

The year - I don't know. The agency - no idea. The product - High Karate "Gamesman" cologne or aftershave or toilet water or something.

Axe, Lynx, Tag, Old Spice, all ya'll - take note.

This is just as suggestive as anything the body sprays are putting out today. One major difference: the man is in his 40s, whereas today's stuff is aimed at teen boys and younger.

I wonder if "Caress the King" and "Kiss the Bishop" were euphemisms for anything back then.

Labels: Axe body spray, High Karate, Lynx, old spice, retro ads, sex in advertising, Tag

Not to mention the timeless classic delivery of “Oh dear.”

And so true! - that IS the response most of us women have to the overpowering stench of men who play to win.

jp - I think that means advertising does work–it’s not a lie as some would have us believe!

So advertising doesn’t work then?

Shit.

I disagree that advertising doesn't work. I am freshly divorced and prowling the pubs for fresh young ladies who wouldn't mind a romp in the sack with an aging Peter Pan type. I've purchsed copious amounts of Lynx to assist me in my efforts, convinced through their advertisements that I will be an irresistible magnet of virility and prowess, able to convey the ability to satisfy many women at once, all through the power of my manly musk.

Here's to Lynx!
