@CalminHeart     I was kinda shocked that Fox and Ice would even appear in something like that Car Shield ad...

 

Guess it's whatever company can sign the biggest pay check

I know he has a lot of fans here, but I find his willingness to shill for such a company much more offensive than butt crack wipes.


 

I worked in the insurance/securities industry for decades. Reverse mortgages are dangerous. The SEC and FINRA require registered principals had to review and approve sales of securities and variable annuity sales - and we automatically rejected those funded by reverse mortgages.

Re: The Most Obnoxious Commercial !

Since I bothered to read this entire thread I'll add my 2 cents.  Lume's men's division is called Mando.  I've tried the Secret roll-on in place of my normal Arrid XX Dry and so far it's working, although I don't expect 72 hours out of it.  One does have to shower occasionally.

The latest Lume commercial where the inventor says: "You know that smell you notice when you sit down?"

 

I'm thinking: "Gosh woman, you must really stink, what smell are you talking about??!!"

 

Obnoxious and annoying? - Yes, indeed. Smiley Sad


The woman in the commercial is the MD who invented Lume. I assume she saw a need through her practice and got the idea for the product. I think it's great that she did that.

 

As for the smell thing, many things, including microbiome issues, aging, and menopause, can cause a "clean" person to smell. A little empathy is nice.

Another "visual" I can do without is the woman who pulls out the waistband of her panties so she can spray some body deodorant down there...

 

Why don't people take showers if they are so dirty they stink? Same for guys!


I totally agree!

Just last night I saw a new ad, or at least I had not seen it before in the Mando line.  The guy was talking about his different needs or something in protection from when he was young boy to now and how he wanted to smell good when he was naked, ugggggg

I have not seen that particular ad yet, that is just plain gross.  Where did society's dignity  and manners go?

It is a sad world when people need to learn personal hygiene from TV ads.

Shower or bathe, shampoo, shave, use grooming products and you should be set. Wear clean clothing that is in good condition and fits appropriately. I would hope parents teach their children these things.

I know some here use and like LUME, but when the commercials and ads first appeared, I was mortified. Why not just shower if you stink? I've gotten used to seeing the ad now. I watch most TV shows that have been recorded, so I can FF through all commercials.
