Most hilarious news item of the week

Believe me. You can't make this kind of stuff up.

'The Axe effect is having opposite to intended results' on Minnesota bystanders who feel teenage boys are substituting the spray for showers.

If boys, teenage or not, are not washing themselves, maybe they should be taught basic hygiene instead of banning a deodarant spray.

Just because my Narcisco Rodriguez For Her parfume smells nice doesn't mean I forgo brushing my teeth. This is common sense.

However, the Associated Press reports that Minnesota moms are banning Axe products in their households and a school district proposed banning fragrances in schools altogether.

Axe's response? Fight the sprayer haters via anby educational campaign that "focuses on the best application" of the products.

HILARIOUS. I wonder if Gilette will have to do the same.
