Enjoy sex and death with Lynx cologne
 So, who else is creeped out by Lynx cologne? Not that I’d ever use it (here in the U.S., it’s Axe), being allergic to that stuff as a general rule. But if I did, I’d never shake the image from this commercial of the old man beaming at me from the porthole in his tombstone. Equally disturbing is the revelation that the worms in tequila bottles are harvested from cemeteries. The whole ad exposes some kind of Poe-novel dystopia where there’s a good chance of dying after the nookie this product all but guarantees you. Too bad they can’t sign Spalding Gray to an endorsement deal. He was an expert in the target market.

That almost exact commercial, (with the exception of the tequila worms coming from the grave) was used for Axe here in the U.S. about two years ago. Glad to see they're rehashing such a..err..gem.
