Description
Rethink Communications recently launched an innovative new form of media: backvertising. Waxed out of a man's excessively hairy back were the words Parissa Wax Strips. The man paraded at a busy beach passing out free samples. Beach-goers laughed, received product demonstrations and lined-up to take photos. The stunt was covered extensively on radio and online media.

gross. first level
Pretty gross, but definitely eye catching. If you ask me, it shouldn't really take any persuasion for men to wax their hairy backs. How do they expect to get laid looking like a woolly mammoth?

Hair looks really fake. It's too thick compared to the rest of his back hair.
