Hummer for Men

Saw a leaflet ad for a cologne named "Hummer for Men". It's in reference to those useless-for-civilian Humvees. But why would anyone think that'd be a nice scent??

I guess it's supposed to be a very manly scent, whatever that is, musky, sweaty, desert-dusty. If the ladies are into that... I guess that's a different kind of lady, a different kind of manly man, than might be found in my circle.

maybe they are, ummmm, not? referencing those damn hummers and in fact referencing a different kind of hummer. not that that brings up a great scent, but if you smell good it may help in the hummer department.

oh the play on words....yeah neither is an appealing scent at all...but then i'm a guy and maybe this works on the ladies.

Yes, this other hummer occurred to me, too. But then I thought that the first hummer was more timely, aimed at support for the troops (another sort of magnetic ribbon). But what do I know? I have allergic reactions to most of these scents.

S'definitely the smell of a High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle cuz it's using the trademark logo and stuff. I guess they thought they were being clever with the whole "sex in advertising" thing but why bother? They should just name the thing "Blow Job for Men".

yeah, and i know a few guys would be like, "hey, a blow job in a bottle! i'm all for that!"

Mr Anigans said...

I have smelled this Hummer man-fume and it smells awful. Of course I imagine people who ride in hummers and smell bad. And "hummers" as in "your mom gives great hummers" also smell unpleasant.
