[QUOTE=TPWombat] An entry in the range of adverts for Lynx deoderants. This may be viral marketing, surely cannot get away with this on TV?

Just as a warning, none of this is SFW. So, for the longest time the George Washington video that was posted earlier was my favorite, but then it got a bit old (still great though).
