What the fuck!!!!?!?!?! Why do they have to breathe life into these delusional anxieties about what might happen if you have a little bit of body hair? I know it's meant to be funny but it's obvious that they seriously do want to keep people believing that body hair is bad.

Yeah it's not funny really, even if you dont care about the message it's sending. its just... really... stupid...

Like imagine all those dudes and one chick sitting around a boardroom table going, "What will really sell our product?"

viva · 09-04-14 04:24:12

"So to conclude, without our product, women ARE actually men! THAT is the message we need to be sending."

The woman joins in the pompous chortling, reaching down under the table to self-consciously rub her smooth, nylon'd calf. "Great idea, Steve. It's just what we need to get us back on those eye-level shelves."

dudes should be offended by this shit too.

Gah. The Dude minds.

Without this product we're not just men, we're also second-class men, too disgusting to be picked up by a taxi or cuddled in bed. Thanks a lot, veet!

It reminds me of this stupid marketing campaign by dove to make people "love armpits". It seems so bizarre to me to have women saying "people shave you, people pour hot wax on you" like it's terrible mistreatment, while lifting their arms to reveal shaved, waxed armpits.

Also, great video Aven!

so what about this one?

It's messaging is a bit confusing. It's political but it also seems to make fun of men who might hold these views. Do we want these excellent fellows to eat a snickers and then not be excellent progressive feminist fellows? I don't, it was a nice time when they were yelling things about equality. They'll probably get laid heaps more than usual with attitudes like that.

Im really confused after snicker commercial. I think, though, that they are saying that being hungry was why those guys yelled nasty things instead of feminist things. A well-fed man is... a feminist? Okay. Okay? What? What the fuck did I watch.

aven frey · 10-04-14 01:26:45

I want them to be saying that but I think they're actually saying that if you don't eat snickers you turn into a feminist when really all builders are not feminists. Anyway it was nice to hear some mans say those things. So nice.

It was nice especially the very long one that had many words and I liked the surprise and pleasure of the women when they realized that the things being yelled at them were nice and interesting.

Hey the shock horror about the Veet ad led to them being retracted. The plan all along?
