It's actually a guy in India.Geeze, I was gunna say.. "Only in Ame...", then saw that it was an Aussie story...lol
What is this place coming too???
:rockon:
I love the way the media reports on these matters.
India is a commonwealth country and a lot of their legal actions are similar to Australian ones and yet I personally have never heard of an action like this that has achieved a good result.
The media reports, 'compensation for the "depression and psychological damage" caused by a lack of any "Lynx effect".'
It would be nice to read the psychological reports on the plaintiffs' case of depression. If he can't get a woman (or man as his case may be), I think the deodorant is his least problem!
The report also quotes the plaintiff as saying, 'in its advertisements, it says women will be attracted to you if you use Axe ... '
Now what type of woman are we talking about? There are some I don't believe I would like to have throwing themselves at me, ah what!!!
And this from the newspaper, 'Mr Bedi's lawyer Ram Jethmalani said it would be in Unilever's best interests to settle out of court. '
And I believe the plaintiff should lay off the curry, join a gym and start riding motorcycles!!!!!
Now. Who do I charge this advice to!!
Rumpole

I'm glad the US doesn't have a monopoly on idiots who will sue over anything and everything.
That "Lynx" lawsuit is right up there with the robbery suspect who sued a homeowner because he fell through her skylight while attempting to rob the house. The grounds for his suit was "An unsafe working environment".
Not sure what happened with the suit, but it just goes to show that people can and will sue each-other for basically anything. :spank:
Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise
control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the
Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left
the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski
sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't
actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The
Oklahoma jury awarded her, 1,750,000 PLUS a new
motor home.. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this
suit, just in case Mrs.. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a
motor home.
