In 2004 Axe attempted to appeal to guys with an ad campaign featuring a cartoony armpit character named Pitman. The ads were based on the idea that Pitman is a hit with the ladies because he is so dry.
There’s nothing sexier than dry armpits, right ladies?
You mean there is?
A walking, headless armpit the size of […]

I don’t have any info other than these pics I found online. Anyone […]
So, yesterday, I went to the White Horse Road Flea Market along with my friends Chris and Duane (some comic and toy buddies of mine). I’d been to this place a few times over the years and I never really found anything that moved me, but lo and behold, I found something (It wasn’t […]
His name says it all.
Well, maybe it’s not his real name, but it’s all I can come up with to describe what the heck this guy is. Just look at him: a ninja with a helmet, a star belt and boots… completely flesh-toned (caucasian flesh that is).
