That’s why we created the new B2 trimmer. It features two easy-change heads so you can trim your balls or your body without getting ball smell everywhere.
Plus, ball-safe blades to prevent cuts. So don’t do this,’ says the narrator.“The ad then shows the side view of a man wearing an open robe, with one leg propped on the bathroom counter while painfully trimming his private parts.”The email concludes, “This commercial is entirely too specific and graphic for television.
The details are over the top when simply mentioning ‘private parts’ would have sufficed.“Yet, Ballsy still chose to air these commercials despite their obviously controversial nature.“Can you imagine what goes through a child’s mind when viewing these ads?
