Nutsack too hairy? Let Philips Electronics help.
What's this about? I'm at work and don't have sound on the comuputer.

My mom used to work with a guy who hated body hair for some reason. He would take a couple of hours and he (or his girlfriend) would shave (or wax maybe) every single hair from his armpits to his feet.

If the concept of wearing a cock and balls like a roman gladiator mask can make it into a major corporation's advertising, there's still hope for America yet.

it took me a while to accept that this was a real Philips website promoting a real Philips product, but I believe it now - the domain name does indeed belong to Philips (Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V).
I so want one of these things. I'm sure it works on wives too.

Body hair doesn't weigh much, but if .001 of a second is the difference between first place and second, it couldn't hurt to ditch your appendix & tonsils.

Maybe you have to shave carrots so they're more easily pear paired with peaches. I also thought that he was going to say "...extra optical inch on my [beep], life is a pretty sweet fruit."

My wife likes giving me a trim every now and then, and I really can't complain about the fringe benefits. All I can say is that this shaver looks a lot less scary than her scissors.
I'm not a sasquach, but let's face it... there are some guys (and girls) with "OMG too much" body hair. And if you're like one-in-ten men out there (i.e. gay), chances are you've got a fairly active grooming habit already.
It's not a fashion/advertising issue, really. It's a basic issue of attraction based on symmetry, I suspect. Most historical cultures have traditionally been far more active groomers than ours, so I expect there's something pretty significant going on, even if it's only to distinguish between those who are part of a culture and "the rest of the barbarians" out there.

Oh gee, I hope this isn't a trend. It gets chilly here and I find a hairy barbarian to be quite cozy.

insomnia_lj, I agree, some trimming from time to time isn't a bad thing. But scissors are scary down near your tallywhacker. This is alot less scary.
And I bet it works just fine on women too.
And dogs, for that matter. And cats. But we're not going there. Oh wait.

I'm shocked nobody has pointed out the true nature of this advertising. I suppose it's obvious, but that's never stopped MeFites before. This is just another example of classic viral advertising and you guys are just eating it up. They're just being edgy because it's the Internet and they can, and they know everyone will love it and send the link to all their friends.

I say it is about damn time somebody came up with a more effective way of removing male body hair. Don't get me wrong, I like my men to be hairy - but to a point. The whole male porn star thatch of gonad glory gets sloppy. I find it particularly galling beacause to appease my handsome husband, I reluctantly submit to a 'ahem' full Brazilian on a regular basis. Turn around is fair game, and payback is a bitch. I can't wait to buy one of these puppies and shave my man's manfruit bare. Now, how did that nice young man tell me how to buy it?...

I hope this product works better than the Phillips wet shavers my partner uses. We've gone through 3 of the damn things. When they work, they're fabulous, but the engineering is total crap. Little plastic clips that hold on the head, which break.
I loved the flash ad, but I kept wanting him to open his robe.
Viral marketing? Maybe, but I'm a prospective customer, and hadn't heard of the product, and wouldn't likely have seen an ad for it otherwise (I don't notice most advertising).

Me and My, I'm not sure that's the problem. I was thinking that even with this wonderful toy, there are a couple of places that I won't be able to reach without help.
Of course, if I already had somebody willing to shave me there, then I wouldn't really need to shave there. So to speak.
