The Axe Effect ;)


We had the Doppler Effect…..then came the Joey Effect and the newest phenomenon is what happens to be termed as the AXE Effect….a case of societal preferences taking a serious dip!

So what is this Axe Effect? Allow me to explain….You look like a dude…..and then you chidko this magical Axe Deo potion…next thing you are a stud with a good thousand pataakaas (read it as hot girls ;) ) following you and tearing off their clothes for you. Oh and the guy doesn't scream 'Help Help'!!!…No surprises!…..
Bottom line…Buy the product….Use it and you become the nukkad ka newest hottie. Cool naa ???


Hello whatever happened to these stupid advisement makers, its all embarrassing!….And I have a serious doubt….just for the sake of argument even if these commercials were true, what happens if all the guys started using it…..wouldn’t it leave the situation exactly the same as where it began?

And that’s not all….you even have it in a chocolate flavor!!!!!......Why on earth would anybody want to smell like chocolate??? Just watching the Cadbury Silk advertisement with hands covered in chocolate put me off as gross……this is like all of you smelling with it…AND HERE YOU DON’T EVEN GET TO EAT THE CHOCOLATE!…Am I falling behind in fashion sense or are people just losing their hinges by the day???

Honest to the T, I think these Axe wala’s need to get creativity that has at leasttt 1% substance to it…….you can’t roll the same crap in different formats…..and if the money is really too heavy for the pocket to handle, then might as well give it to charity! Kisi ka bhalaa ho jaayega plus saves you from going to hell as a dushtt paapi!!!

Oops *covers face* i love the Axe Chocolate lol but i must say the ads are weird though,guess its a global thing....

vinayak said...

i totally agree with you. Axe 'was' a good brand. the number of ads showed in tv are just 1% of what they totally make. many are censored. creativity has got lot of value now a days because few have it today! its not just with Axe many are in the list. i hope at least your post poke them about their faltu current brand and ads.

ha, ha...Who do think they are fooling? teens perhaps..Cause adults wont fall for the Axe trap...

Mi said...

You know there was a guy who actually sued AXE, because he applied it, and no gurl turned back and saw him. So he said, how can the product not fulfil what it claims of :D :D

AXE ads are horrendous.. I hate them..
But this was a lovely post :D

Nice blog!!

@Daanish : I don't understand why people are such fools that they fall for their traps..

People want to smell like chocolate so other people who love chocolate would awnt them :S and for guys in their view its a great flavor as girls are always dieting and watching their calories :P

Prasoon Khare said...

Someone told me, a guy filed a case againsr Axe as he was still single even after using it for two longg yearss. :) :)

I second your thoughts on it.
AND
Seriously that cadbury silk advertisement is one of the most ghatiya advertisement. I dont like silk!!

S. said...

Lol seriously i even hate those fair and lovely one..ek hafte mei gore ban jao,No matter how dark your skin has been since childhood! :P

Madhulika said...

@albusclosethedoor : witty :P

@Prasoon : hahaha.. i guess filing a case was the best thing to do ;) and i am glad that we share the same thoughts on this.

@Sunakshi : Agreed.. they people think that we are fools to fall for their stupid traps.

Mrsupole said...

As long as they don't overdo it then it is nice. It is better than having them stink.

But I do get so tired of advertising and I usually watch recorded shows so as to skip them. It works out better to not watch them and then they don't bother you.

I also use perfumed body washes but the smell is not as strong as what they sell the men. Subtle is always better than overdoing something.

God bless.

Harshita Srivastava said...
