Just shown this ad on video.msn.com.

Does anyone else think this is really disturbing? And are those pants sexy on a guy?

And do you have any other confusing/disturbing ads you wish to share?

I find the new Quizno's "Toasty Torpedo" commercial to be rather disturbing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LQpRQh2KSQ

I really dislike ads like that. Really shows the degradation of the human race. I know we shouldn't be afraid of our sexuality but to do something like that is rather insulting.

Agreed 110% That commercial makes me shudder and NOT in a good way.

I know right...it is so disturbing how much they sell this scam act.

I went through 3 bottles of axe body spray and not one girl wanted me. In fact, it repelled them because they hated the smell.

Old Spice however...now THAT is sex in a bottle. I actually had one of my bottles stolen by a girl because she was head over heels over it.

I actually turned down a job offer once from an ad agency when I found out Axe (Lynx) was one of their clients. Their ads are immature, lazy attempts at taking the term "sex sells" to a whole new level that treats their potential customers like naive tools.

Str8 for the win. I once mentioned near my schoolmates (girls) I use one. And boy, did they jump and ask "REALLY?! WHAT COLOR??". Kinda funny.

Oh god! That's wrong on so many levels.

Anyway, do any of you guys know those 360 ads where you see a person, and then the camera turns around them to show they're missing the entire back half of their head? Creepy...

What's wrong with the lynx adverts? They are funny and make (and exagerate) the point that you can't get a girl if you smell :p

'Disturbing' is a label fit only for Cadbury's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVblWq3tDwY
Try watching that on a cinema screen..

I found this Victoria's Secret ad disturbing. It just makes no sense.

The way he says beware of paper cuts is almost prophetic. Since then, I have been cautious of paper cuts...

Bob Dylan loves lingire? That or Bob Dylan is loved by women at least old enough to be his daughter. At least it's better than the Swiftcover ad with Iggy Pop in or the country life ad with Johmmy Rotten.

I personally didn't find it especially disturbing. But maybe I've been desensitized by years of exposure to similar marketing schemes?
