Here in Idaho, we have a chain of gas stations under the nameof
Stinker Stations, and the mascot is a skunk by the name of Fearless
Farris. Skunks and gasoline?

Considering applications for product endorsement from our
favourite characters, I suspect prejudice of stereotype is
likely to reduce their application. But having said this,
there is a 'trendy' clothes shop (ie, overpriced 'home boy'
clothes that you can get cheaper at K-mart etc) a few
blocks away that calls itself Skunkwear and has a fairly
cool male anthro skunk as its logo.
Somehow home-boys may not care if they have a 'stinky'
image, but the I can't think of another application for the
skunks. Deodorant is not likely to work, unless used in a
derogatory way - "Don't smell like a skunk, use XYZ
deodorant..." I suspect only people on this group have
other associations that have pleasant connotations for
skunks...
