Website of the Day

Let me preface this link with two items.

First, please refer to my post, back in April, regarding the giant inflatable Axe Body Spray can. I have no love at all for this particular sundry, or anyone who wears it, or anyone who is at all influenced to buy it based that incredibly obnoxious ad campaign.

Second, a coworker told me a story today about how she and her boyfriend saw the Axe Body Spray Car, apparently - complete with a vanity plate that read, "BCWW" (grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!), driven by five Axe Body Spray bimbos. They parked the car at Walgreen's in order to have lunch at Portillo's across the street.

I guess the manager at Walgreen's wears TAG.

But, forget all that. And feast...your eyes...on THIS:

Axed

If you have been walking down the Mag Mile at all this week, you've certainly noticed the giant inflatable Axe Body Spray can that was in the middle of Tribune Plaza, complete with mini-skirted 18-year old "actresses" jumping around inside it, much like the Moonwalk at the carnival. Written on the side of it: "Now, With Added "Bom Chicka Wah Wah." What great place for this thing, four blocks down from the Disney Store.

Anyhow, notice I say, "was."

I was walking back from the bank about an hour ago and just happened to glance at it when a huge gust of wind blew the thing nearly sideways. Almost immediately, the top of the monstrosity split open with a huge "bang!" and immediately collapsed to the southeast down onto the grey-tiled plaza. I just stood there gaping for a couple seconds, then started applauding and whistling.

Made my day. I hope who's ever idea that was is getting shit-canned at this moment.
