Vermont politician lacking Old Spice charm
The Old Spice guy homages are coming fast and furious. After Cisco's lame effort, I figured most marketers would think twice before trying to glom onto "The Man." I forgot about the politicians. Vermont's Daniel Freilich, a candidate for the U.S. Senate (and a Democrat, for those who think AdFreak has some kind of political bias), has made a video that truly defiles the legacy of the Old Spice guy. The awkward spot features Freilich in doctor's garb (he's a physician), jogging in place and ultimately mounting a sickly-looking cow while he tries to imitate the deep intonations of Isaiah Mustafa. Thankfully, Freilich decided against any shots where he is clad only in a towel. Via We Are Organized Chaos.
