Offensive advertising from Rexona in Russia
In summer 2007 the brand Rexona led one of the most provocative Internet campaigns in the history of advertising in Russia. The site Rexona-deo.ru (does not exist at the moment) put a presentation, where Russian women were written about in an insulting way. Something like that they use deodorants less often than European women and therefore have a disgusting smell. Rather rude commercial was broadcasted not only in Russia;it showed the effects of unpleasant smell from the armpits.
