People are familiar with the AXE brand of men's body spray and deodorants thanks to their sexually charged advertising campaigns. As a tech blogger, I rarely get the chance to hang with the "cool" kids, but my friend Peter invited me to an AXE event a while back and I was granted temporary access to the inner circle. AXE had rented out all of Room 18 here in Taipei to promote their line of body sprays while local athletes and models attended as brand ambassadors.
Skimming through photos on Flickr and saw this one:
Whenever you're walking around Zhong Xiao Fu Xing and Zhong Xiao Dun Hua (Taipei's main shopping district) you're bound to see street side vendors. But they're kinda illegal and there's always a cat and mouse game between the hawkers and the cops. The cops just strolled up and shooed this vendor away. The racks are on wheels so he'll cruise around the block and settle in on a different corner, and maybe change his hat as part of a new disguise.
It has been way to cloudy and gray lately. Unseasonably cold, even. Alas, this is the climate burden strapped to our overworked backs.
Press release snippets are funny.
