Wal-Mart vs AXE

As a quick followup to my post a few days ago about free Facebook gifts that are actually ads, I thought I’d point out that today’s Facebook gift is an AXE-branded devil ducky. This is somehow even more appalling than the Wal-Mart ghost, but I’d be hard pressed to explain exactly why that is. Better to see for yourself.

And in case you missed it, here’s a Wired article on Susan Kare, the illustrator who produces the gift images for Facebook. She’s also behind the original Mac OS icons, for what it’s worth.

For fun, if you ever come across someone wearing Axe, take a match to their armpits. Teach them a lesson about why it’s not wise to coat one’s body with Butane. >:D
