Title: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: Damit on 02/11/2009, 07:08 PM Quote An Indian man is suing the makers of Lynx deodorant after he failed to get a girlfriend despite using their products for seven years. Vaibhav Bedi, 26, is demanding Unilever pay him $91,000 as compensation for the "depression and psychological damage" caused by a lack of any "Lynx effect", the Daily Record reports. Scantily-clad women throwing themselves at men wearing Lynx has long been a key feature of advertisements for the deodorant, which is marketed as Axe in India. "The company cheated me because in its advertisements, it says women will be attracted to you if you use Axe ... I used it for seven years but no girl came to me," Mr Bedi said in his court petition. A court in New Delhi has accepted half-used body washes, shampoos, anti-perspirants and hair gels for forensic testing. Unilever has refused to comment on the lawsuit. Mr Bedi's lawyer Ram Jethmalani said it would be in Unilever's best interests to settle out of court. "There is no data to substantiate the supposition that unattractive and unintelligent men don't attract women," the Daily Record quoted him as saying. "In fact, some of the best looking women have been known to marry and date absolutely ghoulish guys." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: bray182 on 02/11/2009, 09:16 PM He has no case lol, i just had my legal exam on this haha
Judge will rule the advertisements were seen as puffs and his damages are too remote and dont fall within their scope of liability lol Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: Robbojlr on 02/11/2009, 09:36 PM i don't know why you would bother... otherwise people could/would sue smoking companies for originally saying smoking was good for ya

Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: SolidSmiddi on 03/11/2009, 01:18 PM Dont forget that the laws here in Australia are different to those in other countries.
They might win something like this in the US, but it would fail over here. . Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: Z00111111 on 03/11/2009, 01:26 PM Hmmm... I didn't know Damit was based in India... He works in a call center, ofcourse he is. Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: bageled on 03/11/2009, 03:53 PM best one I heard was about 18 months ago when a woman who home schooled her son through high school. We was bullied on his first day at high school so she elected to teach him at hom. At 17 y.o turns out he has no social skills. She sued the NSW government for not providing a safe learning environment which lead to her son becoming a social misfit. She was awarded 1 million, and god knows how much the lawyers made or what the court costs were. The problem as I see it is that some judge see fit to hand out these judgements.
Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: Damit on 03/11/2009, 04:22 PM It's tomes like these the judges should just thow out the case for stupidity
best example of this wasnin the states some guy delcared he wasn't in the right mind when he got caught speeding so the judge let go his $200 fine and banned him for driving as he doesn't have the right mind to drive and made him go to a theripist Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: Paradox on 03/11/2009, 05:11 PM Fail
Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: KARNAGE on 03/11/2009, 05:49 PM it reminds me of some guy who tried to sue Apple because he put his macbook in his bath while he was in it and it broke.
he didnt win. NSW one, wasnt it obvious to her that he'd be bullied? of course he has no social skills, the only place he'd use em would be the fridge Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: Chalice on 03/11/2009, 06:23 PM of course he has no social skills, the only place he'd use em would be the fridge True...but when the custard starts going deep into Taoism..man, mind blowing stuff...and dont let me get started on how insightful yoghurt can be. :o Title: Re: Man sues Lynx after failing to get girl Post by: bray182 on 03/11/2009, 07:07 PM worst one i had in my law lectures was a woman got a winabago (the caravan thing) in america, she put it on auto pilot while on the highway, she then went out back to make a sandwhich. the winebago crashed through the rail and rolled, she sued the company, won damages and a new winebago.......she argued that there was no instructions about cruise control and she though she could make a sandwhich
