I can only imagine being a fly on the wall at the SURE Marketing meeting where this advertisement got approved.
I can’t tell if they are selling the “stick” of deodorant or the chains. My oh My.

    Do you ever notice how the commercials for mens deoderant are all about being manly and getting the hot girl. What about us ladies? Where are all of the men chasing us for being streak free? I am just saying.

    My favorite part is that in the lower left corner, they are “bringing it all together”. I am glad that you clarified that it was a deoderant. I thought it was another erectile dysfunction ad.

    Wow. I’m not sure that is a marketing play for men though. Maybe it is to get the wives to buy it for their hubbies?? Maybe Bob Dole could be the spokesperson.

    Oh My! Falic symbols, chains, “blow-ups”, “bringing it”… it’s like advertising gone BDSM, they just need to present it in a black leather pouch. At least they didn’t say it was unsheathed power… someone might be worried about getting AIDS from the antipersperant!
