    This is absolutley ridiculus. So your telling me that the axe comertial that when he sprays it on all of the sudden there are naked girls or they come running is tooken seriously over there? Did they ban that commertial?

Bleh bloody british have to mutch time on their hands, go get a job or a hobby. lol
