Old Spice has made me happy by making joyfully odd / oddly joyful commercials. I now plan to reward them buy buying some Old Spice body wash irrespective of actual need.
You’ve probably seen the sexy man who makes us all look bad (yep, he’s on a horse). For their latest set they commissioned Tim and Eric and received some screamy goodness in return.

Yes, there are people out there who will click on ads, on occasion I’m one of them. Today I was intrigued by an ad’s description, saying something about a crazy man’s landscape… so I clicked and was taken to Foreverscape.
