In the world of suggestive, banned commercials, Axe Body Spray takes a back seat to no one. Playing quarters into a shot glass nestled in a woman’s bra? Genius! This new one, however, takes sexual innuendo to glorious new heights. Banned in Canada (of course), this TV spot, entitled Axe Ball Cleaner, features actress Jaime Pressly as tennis champ Monica Blake, and hostess Denese Saintclaire, well, cleaning balls. Denese playing with a pair of golf balls is worth the price of admission.

Not everyone is amused, however. A comment from reader Bibleyes at The Gloss.com:
I was watching TV on Sunday on the TNT channel when this commercial from Axe came on. This is a totally inappropriate commercial. On one in our household will purchase any of their products now. If a company has to resort to filthy and suggestive narratives and scenes, then you as a consumer will be on their level if you give your hard-earned dollars to them. This country constantly mocks the Godly values that our fore-fathers established when they came to this country. If you can’t say or do anything uplifting for the people, then just shut up!

For starters, I must say that I understand the parents who want to protect their children from a world where boundaries and social norms are constantly challenged and broke, however this commercial is funny. In fact, it is very witty and brilliant. I was also shocked the first time I say this commercial because of the sexual innuendos. However, in the eyes of a child, the Axe commercial is literally talking about cleaning sports equipment and more specifically, balls. What is alarming to me is how adults are trying to use their children’ to get rid of a commercial that PERSONALLY pisses them off. So let’s be real now, this commercials in no way harms children. All it does is piss off some conservative adults. FYI, I’m sure Jesus would laugh at this.
