In a brief moment of enlightenment, I’ve realized a special relationship between two products targeted at the 18-35 American male demographic: AXE bodyspray and MAXIM magazine. Drawing from a 3-credit-hour background in college philosophy I will explain the AXE bodyspray MAXIM magazine correlation through what is known as Modus Tollens:
If X, then Y, not Y, therefore not X (“Denial of the consequent”)
X = AXE bodyspray
Y = MAXIM magazine
IF a man wears AXE bodyspray,
THEN he also reads MAXIM magazine.
NOT all men who read MAXIM magazine, wear AXE bodyspray.
All men who wear AXE bodyspray, read MAXIM magazine.
