has anyone seen..

theres this commercial that i saw tonight..it was advertising men's deodorant..this manican (sp?) uses this deodorant and is delivering pizza to some sorority..the girls open the door and smell the deodorant and they think the manican is a real guy because he smells good? so they start like petting the manican.. i dont know, i was really confused...so they are saying that the deodorant can make anyone into a man i guess? well whatever, i dont really care about the deodorant, but i was confused as to whether they were trying to imply something about sorority girls...that they arent very smart or something..cause why couldnt they have used regular girls? instead the girls were wearing white tank tops with their letters on it..and their door had their letters on it too. i got a quick glance and i know that the last letter was Pi..i wanna say Alpha Sigma Pi but i'm not 100% sure cause like i said, i only got a glance.

has anyone seen this commercial? maybe i am misinformed because i wasn't paying very much attention until i saw the letters on the girls' shirts..by that time half the commercial was over..

i have seen that commercial. it is for Axe body spray. they always have trampy girls on it. they are trying to say that girls become slutty when they smell that stuff.

it is a shame that 'loose' sorority girls sell products. what can we do? we have been outnumbered by horndogs

As a real live sorority girl, I find this commercial funny. You know what it makes me think? That AXE's marketing department and some agency felt that sorority girls were desireable, and that by wearing their product, the mannequin was attracting desireable girls - so by being desireable via the wearing of AXE, he attracted desireable girls.

There are worse things in the world than to be seen as beautiful and desired.

to paraphrase, it's not our fault we're so hot. I'll drink to that.
