Business & Finance Can Lynx get sued?

[Macca_]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm studying Business Management.
Recently Lynx have released a deodorant called Lynx 2012: The Final Edition. I'm presuming that this the link to the supposed end of the world in 2012. Just say a man goes out and buys 10,000 cans because it's the last 'edition' and then 2012 doesn't end up happening. If Lynx then release another edition of Lynx after the release of the '2012 final edition', can that man sue Lynx?
Once again, sorry if this is a stupid question.

Yes they will get sued.

Get rich quick scheme #27 is now entering planning stages.

This is pretty clearly sales puffery.

Puffery is a term used to describe wildly exaggerated, fanciful or vague claims for a product or service that nobody could possibly treat seriously, and that nobody could reasonably be misled by. OTHER examples of puffery include 'best food in town' or 'freshest taste ever'.

Puffery in advertising is a practice that is generally not prohibited by the Australian Consumer Law.

Is the man American?

That reminds me of the time when a group of deaf guys turned up to a Queens Of The Stone Age gig in Scotland during the Songs For The Deaf tour and complained about false advertising.

They'll get sued, just like John Farnham got sued for falsely retiring.

Why would you buy 10,000 cans of deodorant if you thought the world was going to end?

In fact why would you buy 10,000 cans of deodorant anyway?

 

[yirra_kurl]

bulk buy you get it cheaper

maybe he's a taxi driver (no offence intended to any taxi driving big-footy members)

 

[beez]

I only have 3 Lynx Africa cans here, maybe I should go buy more

Especially when all he needs is a knife.....wait I ****ed that up.

Nevermind.

 

[grizzlym]

I felt the same way about 'The Never Ending Story 2'

Come to think of it my Lynx Africa cans don't make me smell like an African.

Should I sue them?

I bought a can of Lynx Phoenix and I didn't burst into flames then resurrect myself.

Lynx, loosen those purse strings, I'm comin' at you.

 

[Doctor Feel]

The question on everyones lips should be:

Why not 10010 cans of deodorant?

Now that's just being silly.

 

[CHIEF SMACKAHOE]

i'd imagine there would be a disclaimer stating that lynx cannot guarantee an apocalypse, doomsday or any other eschatological event

 

[vealesy]

Lynx chocolate tastes like shit.

Suing.

 

[omit]

I don't know what you guys are on about, this stuff delivers. I got myself a can of excite and an angel fell from heaven. Unfortunately she hurt herself when she hit the ground and now she's suing lynx

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm a kid and curious about law and advertisement.

ask John Farnham

 

[Tairy Greene]

I think the real question is, who buys Lynx???

 

[Selective Retention]

Maybe the indian guy that sued them due to lynx not attracting the ladies to him like on the ad will try again...
