Where's Kristin Reilly so we can get her opinion on this?

They make men go all crazy in commercial's for women's perfume commercials too, but of course no one will say anything about that.

Don't you love how things like racism and sexism like to reverse themselves after a while? Everyone demands equality, and then demands to be treated special. The hypocrisy is sickening.

You're spot on man. The scariest thing about it is that people can't see it.

Hang on... HANG ON!!!! What the fuck? It's called "Axe" in the USA. I never knew that.

It's called Lynx in the UK. "The Lynx effect".

Well you learn something new every day.

All that ad does is advocate cannibalism. And yes, it is called Lynx in the UK.

Actually I find it an "improvement" over other Axe commercials - it "objectifies" the chocolate man just as much as the women and it's silly.
I don't like Axe commercials because they have all these women fawning over men - I'm just worried about that sweaty overweight guy thinking "If I dump this on, women will love me!" so now he smells like sweat and axe.

>They make men go all crazy in commercial's for women's perfume commercials too, but of course no one will say anything about >that.

I think the complaint is that commercials in general are more geared towards males. Let's say the perfume/cologne commercials are about equal. Then there's beer commercials, then there's that Twix set of commercials where women are all dingbats and will believe anything a man says after he eats a Twix, etc. There are others, but I've been trying to tune them out over the years, and when the commercials go on, I read a couple of pages in a book.

Insane teacher? One time I was at the mall and you know how you open the door for a woman. Me being polite, I keep the door open and she looks at me like, "What?" She apparently thought women were lower than men so she smirks at me because I apparently open the door for her. I was like, "Fuck you stuck up, Bitch!" LOL, FEMINISM. (Can't we all be equal?)

Your teachers an idiot. I didn't realize this up until now that "AXE" is the same deodorant as "LINX" in my country cause I've seen that exact same ad for linx.

Not to the point where the guy tears off her limbs and devours her.

I wouldn't say the commercial is sexist, but it certainly is dumb.

It probably is demeaning to women, but there are plenty of adverts out there that are demeaning to men. This is an example of equality at its finest!!!!

Its actually more degrading to a black man since the guy was white and putting the chocolate stuff on basically black faces him.

I saw this commercial while on break at work, when it was over everyone said "What the hell?" in unison.

First of all why would you want to smell like chocolate?

Anyways, your teacher is probably just a crazed feminist.
