Two ads for male body spray that start out looking like rape jokes have been taken off the air in India, and the company selling the cologne has apologized, after everyone from Bollywood celebrities to government officials raised an outcry.
Leading the celebrity charge were stars such as Priyanka Chopra, who blasted the brand, Layer’r Shot, for the two ads.
One of the ads shows four young men lurking behind a frightened-looking woman in a store. One of them says, “We’re four, and there’s only one,” as they stare. “So who will take the shot?” another one says.
