Disgusting Deodorant Advertisement.

arynne

Unilever must surely now have hit rock bottom with their latest Lynx Deodorant advertisement. This TV commercial talks about "premature perspiration" and how to prevent it. This is a despicable attack on already vulnerable men.

The creators of this crass insult know full well that there is a common sexual dysfunction that affects many men. In fact "premature ejaculation" is the commonest of all sexual dysfunctions. There is nothing funny about it. It can, if not properly treated, permanently destroy human relationships, reduce a man’s confidence to zero and drive him to suicide.

Would women, for example, tolerate an advertisement for a perfume that made facetious reference to vaginismus? Of course they would not. But, because we are only men, it does not matter. No, according to Unilever, you can laugh away at men’s sexual dysfunction!

These people make me sick. Unilever make me sick. The slick copy writers who came up with this commercial make me sick. The TV stations and the people in charge of Advertising Standards make me sick. They should all be deeply ashamed of themselves. Is there no bottom to the pits of depravation into which they seem so readily to crawl in the name of vulgar commerce?

How very Victorian of you!

They were shown a long time ago... but yes smack of double standards all the same, but I think you'll find it's actually aimed at men, so basically it's men laughing at.....men.

Mr.David

The ad is a bit of a flop alright.....it requires a stiffer moral tone.

There are treatments available OP, you can get help for your problem these days.

OP, you wouldn't happen to be one of these "many men" would you?

OP is a drag.

Mr.Biscuits

OP, seen the ad and agree but you won't get the discussion you're looking for here as men complaining about such things (and those seen to be agreeing with 'em) are seen as weak and therefore, unmanly (worst nightmare for those among us wanting to impress our female regulars).

Incidentally, the Club Orange 'Some Bits Are Crucial' commercial was more reprehensible, only on that occasion it used impotence as a punchline.

I suggest you post here.

Bentest whimpiest moaniest thread ever.

I didn't like the ad either, though it certainly didn't bother me enough to start a thread about it. I don't suffer from the dysfunction alluded to - it's just that the ad isn't as funny as it seems to think it is.

There are far more irritating ads out there at the moment though.

for example, which pops up quite loudly before all the youtube videos I'm trying to watch these days, has ensured that I will never purchase a KIA.

Decent rant OP but you finished too quick, you could have went on for longer.

I once attended a help group for premature ejaculators.

But found myself sitting alone in an empty conference room

I soon realised that I had came too late.

I'm trying to remember the name of the film that Grace Jones was in as the Director of the Company and she wanted to make a deodorant called Steel Vagina. After much debating with the marketing people who happened to be all men, she ripped of her panties and threw them at one fella shouting "That's how it should smell".

Sounds tacky but it was all done very tastefully imo.

I hate the ad for canesten - keep your itching to yourself!

Probably deliberately disgusting in order to seek public attention.

United Colors of Benetton have been at this game since the early 90's.

Same thing with the donedeal advert. Taking the piss outta dudes is totally OK.

Sounds like it touched a nerve if you ask me...

If this is what happenes when they start rebranding Africa, i want no part of it

Thats the way it is nowadays, young white straight men are the last group that advertisers can make fun of without being un PC.

anyone else it can be deemed as racism,agism,sexism,anti religios prejudice ...etc ...

Did you make a complaint?

The last ad I was surprised to be let through was the lindt one with the airport security wanting to strip search the tennis player. I read some victims of sexual abuse did put in complaints about it. If it was 2 sleazy men threatening to strip search anna kournikova there is no way it would have even been considered to be made.

Clearly, for the OP, a nerve got touched ... lucky it wasn't a muscle he would have shot his wad
