A couple of weeks ago my husband received something in the mail from Axe. “Open to get an edge” it states on it. On the back it describes a movie with innuendo weaved into the wording by way of a junior high boy.
“A Diary
Even with an award-winner under her belt, budding novelist Jill McGowan finds it hard to open up - except to her diary. But when Peter discovers her precious journal on the subway, he finds himself touched in unexpected ways. At first, Peter’s soft demeanor clashes with Jill’s thirst for something more. but when Jill’s friendly roommate takes things in hand, Peter’s pride swells - and takes aim at the Jill within.
While Jill’s self-exploration is gratifying, only through Peter’s intervention does her talent truly bloom. In the game of love, even shy girls can end up on top. Critics rave that, “A diary starts with a kiss and ends with a bang.”
All this “flix” really is is a short 2 minute short about things that drill, screw, go in holes, etc. Just about as juvenile as you can get and as the music increases in speed and intensity, so do the repeating images. all to finish off with the popping of a cork off a bottle of wine. Which you know what image that can invoke. Then you get a 20-minute long virtual fireplace.
Hrmm, so before you think this is some gushy movie to watch with your sweetie, think again and chuck it. It’s just a scheme to get unilever to mail you even more junk by responding via a text message to a certain number! All for a years worth of axe?
We get enough junk mail as it is, I was intrigued by this DVD so I was curious and had to check it out, well my curiousity was unfounded. Jr. High has struck the marketing department for Axe, that’s all I know. For one thing, my husband doesn’t need to coax me in bed with a movie, sometimes we just junk into bed for fun in the middle of the day, we’re like that. Another thing, his skin is fairly sensitive to chemicals, dyes, fragrances, etc, which your products have in abundance, and I’d never buy him anything but the soaps and shampoos that don’t irritate him.
And the last thing? We’re both grown ups and bought a house with a real fireplace. We have fun but without stooping to jokes from 7th grade.
Thanks for filling the landfill even more axe.
