Say It, Don't Spray It: Axe Body Spray Not Welcome in Minneapolis
Heading to Minneapolis anytime soon? Leave your Axe body spray at home; it's not like the flight attendants have fallen into your lap yet, anyways. You see, Minnesota isn't too happy that Axe's hyper-sexual advertising campaigns have been working so well, causing kids to drench themselves in the potent scents and offend sensitive nostrils.
Apparently the overuse of Axe is so widespread in the City of Minneapolis School District, that they've called for a ban on the stuff.
You'd think that with all this hubbub, flying into Minneapolis airspace would involve descending through a fog layer of aerosol Axe spray, but instead it's simply a case of teachers trying to encourage teenage boys to shower more often. Says StyleList: "One concern prompting suburbia to sound the alarms is the idea that Axe Body Spray is somehow enabling teens to adopt poor hygiene habits."
Don't teens already deal with poor hygiene habits enough without Axe? Nonetheless, the school district will most likely tone down their attack on Axe in favor of implementing an "awareness campaign that teaches youngsters moderation in their application of perfumes." These are your tax dollars at work; now hopefully the SATs will incorporate some Axe analogies.
