Is Old Spice for Black People?

[Switch]

The reason I ask is that I heard this before and that they have a new "scent" called "Swagger." So is this a cultural thing like Menthol cigarettes?

[Gunther1000]

Pack of Kools! thats great!

[NONE_too_SOFT]

i looked for it in my local drug store today. i live in the suburbs. it was not there...

what more confirmation do you need?

[OneSickPsycho]

No, Old Spice is for OLD PEOPLE.

[PiZdETS]

I use mitchum.
It doesnt work that well, it's not the cheapest, smell is kinda weird actually.
But it shares a name with this badass motherfucker right here;

Hmmm... interesting question... I dunno, could they be intending to appeal to Pirates? (not butt pirates, just the regular garden variety :shrug: )

[smileyman]

I thought Cowboys swagger?:idk:

[Gunther1000]

Ya, I think they do. And after that ride to Indy and back I bet there are a few around this board who do also now... And no that wasn't a poke at Drewpy and his rear end.

[neebelung]

I thought Cowboys swagger?:idk:

Hmmm... well then what is it that Pirates do (other than pillage and plunder)

[smileyman]

Don't be poking at Drewpy's rear end! Old Spice is old people smell...So is Aquavelva.

[Rider]

Wild Turkey(not the booze you dorks) and Chaps are old people smell. That's what my grandfather wore.

[Shift]

I use Old Spice deo, but I don't use any type of aftershave or cologne. Does that make me old?

[smileyman]

Just your armpits! :zowned:

[itgirl]

Pack of Kools! thats great!

i thought black folks prefer newports. :idk:

[ceo012384]

You mean deoderant or like aftershave/cologne?

Plenty of white people use old spice deoderant.

Any cologne you can find in a drug store is not acceptable for anyone not on food stamps...

I use degree deodorant. I have Hollister, Abercrombie, Candies, and Gucci cologne. Hollister and Abercrombie for just normal stuff. Don't use candies much anymore (an ex-GIRLfriend liked it) and gucci for when I am doing something nice.

[Amber Lamps]

Oh and it's common knowledge that we don't use deodorant,we enjoy our normal monkey smell!!! (Geez AA,no wonder you have to carry a gun everywhere you go!)

For the record I use AXE and Hugo.

[Carolina]

I use to use axe but it always seemed to wear off too quick. Thats when I switched to curve and cool water as everyday scents.

[Amber Lamps]

Oh I only use AXE deodorant not the scent. I've used Old Spice stick before,I'll probably try the new stuff.

[Amber Lamps]

not we i'm no mutt lol


Oh nice "brother",I see how it is!

[Carolina]

naw jus joining the non PC club I would def never talk like that:twfix::dthumb:

[Switch]

Oh I'm sorry that their marketing is aimed towards black people. What was I thinking?

I guess their marketing departments are RACIST!

[Trip]

Oh nice "brother",I see how it is!

so do you get mad if we call you a cracka?

[Switch]

so do you get mad if we call you a cracka?

Yeah, cracka.

Us crackas.

[Trip]

Yeah, cracka.

fuck you cracka

I got ya. I use that too, I thought you were talking about the body spray.

[Amber Lamps]

I got ya. I use that too, I thought you were talking about the body spray.

Nah,no offense but when I think "body spray",it just brings in images of feminine hygiene products so I don't use it. Kinda like loofahs,and those "spongy" thingies women use in the shower. IDK,not for me I guess...

[Dnyce]

Oh I'm sorry that their marketing is aimed towards black people. What was I thinking?

its not



I guess their marketing departments are RACIST!

probably, almost everybody is a lil racist towards somebody

but whatevers, thats life

In all seriousness my friend. I understand that you and your compatriots are the result of your backwards upbringings and I filter EVERYTHING you say though that prism. So no,I don't get mad. The only time that I have even gotten slightly upset is when a racial slur was directed towards me by someone whom I respected and considered an "e-friend" anyway...

In general, most "hip hop" style marketing is focused towards young suburban Caucasians and not their black counterparts. There are frankly more of them,they have immense amounts of liquid capital,and they are quick to jump on ANY cultural bandwagon that comes along. Most people that listen to country music have never seen a horse in person. Most people that listen to rap/hip hop have never lived in the "hood" or have even seen a crack rock. Remember the huge "Latino" phase that went around a few years ago? The reality is that the average suburban white teenager has more liquid capital than most adult black men. This particular marketing firm is trying to give Old Spice a face lift and is shooting for the "young hip male". BTW the only color marketing companies care about is GREEN!!! Trust me there aren't marketing meetings going on about how to get that 20% of the population that controls 2% of the county's wealth to buy Old Spice!!!

The bottom line is black culture sells products! From music to shoes and from liquor to clothing lines. I know that drives you all crazy at your clan meetings but it's been going this way since the 50's,you may as well get used to it!

[Dnyce]

.... I know that drives you all crazy at your clan meetings

I dont consider myself racist unless you classify stupid people as their own race, cuz I truly hate stupid people.

[Dnyce]

i meant alil racistness is in every1

for instance, if your daughter was dating outside her race, 95% of parents probably wouldnt be happy, but only maybe 20% would actually say something. lil stuff like that. stereotypes, prejudice, racial preference-all technically forms of racism. dont have to actually hate em. few ppl are usually truly colorblind, and thats all im saying.

[OneSickPsycho]

Old Spice makes my pits burn.

I've had that problem somewhat randomly... Sometimes it does, most of the time it doesn't. I recently noticed a bit of a rash though, so I had to stop using the OS High Endurance... Strange cause I've used the same shit (in various flavors) for the past 12 years.

Give me a fucking break, black people are just as racist as whites. Hell you should know, you are both.

Look,I know this is a touchy subject for you AND it is basically how I got "meat spun" last time. You are not just another member of the board but the admin and I hesitate to argue with you for that reason...

I will simply say that,it has indeed been my experience that on average black people are much more blatantly racist than whites. I have been physically attacked by blacks just because I am part white. My mother wasn't allowed in my grand parents house because she was white. I have seen black racism at it's worst on many occasions.

Regardless of all of that,my argument is with AA as to whether; a) marketing companies are racist in general and b) is the firm directing the current Old Spice campaign targeting black people.

My answers are as follows;

a) although many of the people working for the company may in fact be racists,I don't believe that marketing companies are "racists" as entities. I do think they are realists and will market their products based on it's target user.

b) There are indeed a plethora of ad campaigns which target all different demographics including "black people",on the whole a successful marketing campaign must identify it's market segment and broaden it if possible using whatever available media to accomplish this goal as expeditiously and inexpensively as possible. Using "hip hop" terminology to describe your product would indeed garner very wide appeal and would be a quite prudent course to take.

Werd, I misunderstood where you were going the first time. I don't care about the marketing people. I try not to pay attention to ads thanks to DVR.

[the chi]

alright, enough is enough. This thread is DONE. FINITO. NO MORE.

You've all had your say, everyone can agree or disagree, no one will ever see things the same way, let it be.

We are racist, we are not, we are black, we are white, we are brown, we are yellow.

Who the fuck cares anymore? Racism is just one more card for weak minded people to pull and exploit. No one person or race is ANY BETTER OR WORSE than any other.

We're all JUST PEOPLE.

Old Spice is a deodorant. So is Axe. So is Secret.

Aftershave is for smelling good. As is perfume.

Companies target certain people and certain markets in different ways all the time. Thats why its called MARKETING. They market specific products to specific people. Kinda like marketing perfume to women and aftershave to men.
