Wal-Mart punts industrial strength feminine deodorant

There's an old saying* that Canada's a country where men are men - and so are the women. For proof, look no further than the local Wal-Mart tentacle, which demonstrates just how the local lasses apply their "Summer’s Eve Ultra Feminine Deodorant Spray": Wal-Mart screen grab showing industrial applicator for feminine deodorant …

Anit=poof hair...

Ah Canada..the home also of Anti-poof hair.

http://www.antipoofhair.com

Sadly that is now a promo site for something else...however anti-poof is still listed here

Arrr...when I was a girl...

...growing up on the Canadian prairies, we caught gophers and bit their heads off with our bare teeth. Deodorant? Leave that to those sissies below the 49th parallel.

I don't usually care that an IT angle is lacking as long as it's funny..

[blackworx]

As opposed to Dundee

Where the women are men and the men are sheep.

Baaa.

[Ken Hagan]

The IT angle

Do you really think this juxtaposition of images would have been missed if a human being had been involved?

[P Saunders]

We canadians are a tough lot

The girls I knew used bald people as roll-on deodorants and sheep as tampons.

IT angle? What IT angle?

[Wize]

@blackworx

Or just up the road in Aberdeen, where men are men and sheep are scared.

[Tim]

Hahahaha!

And where exactly does it say "Deodorant"?

As for the IT angle...the applicator looks technological.. don't it?

Paris, because she is a feminine spray.

Not actually a site listing problem

It's more a problem with the fact that they have separate ID and ImageID parameters in the URL. You can just fabricate any type of odd listing by changing the imageid parameter.

Mine's

the one you can smell from 50 yards away.

[Anonymous Coward]

Shome mishtake, shurely...

They're really selling the (actual) product as "Ultra - Extra strength"?

<boggle>

Who the hell's gonna walk into a shop and ask for that? Bit of an embarassing admission, don't you think?

This has to be about as bad a marketing move as would be selling "Micro-Mini size" condoms!

[Anonymous Coward]

Looks like a versions for teenagers

Who need to use at least half a can a day, just to sulk in their bedrooms. Mines the one with a reassuringly unpleasant smelling nose peg in the pocket.

[Anonymous Coward]

Oooh

Just checked the alternate shot. That thing compresses very nicely thankyouverymuch. What with conservation of energy/mass and whatnot it's probably the densest object on the planet, or close. Might be one or two Leaders of the Free World who can give it a run for its money...

shouldn't that be Microsoft condoms.

Silly Virgins

About half of the people who already commented have obviously not read the article nor seen a real vagina.

Most of the others obviously have never hooked up with a Canadian woman. Their nether regions smell like lavender and taste like 1963 St. Julian.

@Solomon Grundy

No your thinking about this one, looks the same but its a very different product.

Well, yeah... That's why they were shopping online to begin with,,,

Last but not least...

It looks like El Reg should launch a new competition (with prizes to match, of course): come up with the best "faked" Canadian Walrus-Mart listing. You're welcome.

What about the...

Mine's the one that smells like vinegar...

Re: Not actually a site listing problem

I like this. Randomly changing the IDs gives some ... interesting ... combinations. Entertaining. Shame its not friday.

@ solomon grundy

I'd choose different examples, but agree that Canadian women are indeed fragrant and delicious.
