The scene in The 40 Year Old Virgin where Steve Carell gets his chest hair ripped off was funny, supposedly. This viral campaign for the DVD release in the U.K. is not so much. You can type in words that will appear on Carell’s chest when the wax strips get pulled off. And send it to friends, if you’re so inclined.
