AN Indian man claims he has been cheated by the cosmetics firm that makes popular deodorant Lynx after failing to land a girlfriend for the past seven years. Vaibhav Bev has been using Lynx deodorant since 2002, in the hope the company's promotional campaign - which features scantily clad women throwing themselves at men - had some basis in real life.
Mr Bev is suing the maker of Lynx - marketed as Axe in his home country - for more than $100,000, seeking compensation for "depression and psychological damage".
"I used it for seven years but no girl came to me," he told the Daily Record.
Indian compensation lawyer Ram Jethmalani advised the company that makes Axe, Unilever, to settle out of court.
He said any claims by Unilever that Mr Bev failed to find a girlfriend because he was unattractive were unlikely to succeed.

That’s just a darn shame. Poor guy. Maybe he thought it would make girls blind, deaf, dumb, and stupid like the commercial does.

I should be able to sue High Karate for their self defense instructions being ineffective in fighting off the women when using their after shave...

Indian man, eh?
Maybe he should just pick out a girl and try to curry her favor.
I bet she wouldn’t make make him sari.
He could pick her up tonight at eight o’clock, on the dot.

Mr. Bev's case is made even more viable by his recent 1st place finish in the Henry Waxman Look Alike Contest:

A clear violation of Shibumi’s Fashion Rule #8;
