Really, I would think all Canadiens would smell of some outdoor scent instead of Axe or Old Spice or any other deodorant body spray. I just imagine most Canadian Men spend their days chopping trees, wrestling moose, and bathing in creeks. So if I had to guess what Canadian men smelled like, it would probably be something like the scented automobile rear-view mirror pine trees. Those scented pine trees should really get into the deodorant body spray business and market to Canadiens! They would revolutionize deodorant business forever!!

*All sarcasm here people; no need for the overly-sensitive’s to reply back with some pro-Canada mumbo-jumbo.

Canadians are so sad, this is by far the LAMEST thing I’ve ever seen and not to mention the only men Canada has been able to provide us with are Bryant Adams and Justin Bieber.…

Blatantly sexist, like all stuff Axe. Replace “be with” by “riding”, or what?

Just because it targets the heterosexual market and not the homosexual doesn’t mean it’s homophobic. It simply means they know who the average buyer is and they’re trying to reach to him.

Hey, when I was a teenager, I loved and used Old Spice! As I grew up, however, I discarded Old Spice in favour of “more mature” scents. To me, Old Spice has always been a younger man’s fragrance, so the marketing is right on.

Every girl I know says Old Spice, Hai Karate, Brute 33, all remind them of their dad or old men.

It’s clever marketing for OS to revive their brand. It will work for the short term, but long term it’s a failure. Old Spice needs to wait out another generation.

Um, no it’s not homophobic at all. Did you look at the youtube commercial for Old Spice? If you saw the whole thing, you’d understand that Axe is just poking fun of its competition. Even if you didn’t, you’d be kinda over sensitive if you thought the ad is homophobic. I mean anyone can ride a horse, nothing wrong with that.

Also, Michelle I think you’re reaching because I don’t think there is a stereotype about men or women caring about smell.

Yeah..it’s definately like gay men don’t care what the other men smell like (sterotype) and women only like a certain smell (sterotype)..and real men would rather be with women (homophobe)..stupid advertising!

Brilliant! I literally LOLed! Personally, I really dislike the new Old Spice commercials.

Did anyone see the spoof Sesame Street did on the OS commercial? Love it!

old spice was always an “old man” thing to me because we would always see it in our friends parents bathroom and stuff like that, but I absolutely love the smell!! It’s all my bf buys, that and sometimes addidas (which also smells yum!) Although I would have to say I dont like AXE… something about the smell lol

I LOVE the smell of old spice on my man and hes only 33 and I’m only 29. That being said I like the smell of Axe as well. Old Spice doesn’t have a a smell I associate with “old men”. I’ve known some old men and young men who cold stand to smell like old spice instead of the aromas they were putting off. Lol. Its all just preference.
