It might be ridiculous, but I'm oh-so-thankful. I live in a college town, riddled with idiot Axe-wearing idiots. This whole fucking town stinks, so even if this campaign works a little...OH JOY!

Perhaps the marketing execs feel that people overuse Axe and that makes other people not like it or assume it is too strong for them.
When I was in college Axe was just starting out, and they had people on campus every week giving out small sample bottles. We used to take them, tape the tops down and hurl it into other dorms/clusters of rooms for pranks. Axe bomb!
Maybe Axe could invent a spray bottle that only spritzes once for every depression of the button. You'd think the perfume industry would have invented something like that.
They could just stop selling it as an arasol and switch to a pump spray that portions it out more reasonably. Or they could just take the shit off the market (in a perfect world)
I've seen the commercials. If Axe does as it is advertised, a spritz will cause the surrounding women to lose all mental control and sexually go after the man with the special odor. It is only logical that if you use too much that it will turn the surrounding women into zombies who will rip that man apart limb from limb. Clearly this is just a safety precaution from Axe. Their product is just too good at what it was designed to do.
Sometimes they ask you to use their product less. Who can forget Playboy magazine's classic "...you'll go blind" campaign of the 1970s? It was considered corporate citizenship in those days.

With the new calendar, the Stranger will survive on perpetuity.
BA-DUM-BUM!
Electric utilities have been doing it for years! :-)
