Would you even believe me if I said I've got two toddlers at my feet? Didn't think so, but such is the life when the stupid daycare doesn't have power. Or a phone line. Sigh. I need a distraction that isn't asking to use my pen or fighting with his brother about which notebook to color in. And, I think I've found the perfect one! :)

You've seen that *hysterical* commercial from Old Spice, right? The one with the 'Look at your man, now back at me' guy who's on a horse? :) Hehehe I'm giggling just thinking about it -- here's the YouTube of it as a refresher.

Here's some info I got from the company:

-The commercial has spread virally, reaching over 3M YouTube hits -- placing it third among Super Bowl commercials ... and it didn't even play during the game!

-Traffic at http://www.oldspice.com/ has hit 5x its total monthly average with more than 1.5M hits.

-An underground movement has begun to get the actor (Isaiah Mustafa) on Saturday Night Live. Check it out on Twitter at #isaiahmustafaforSNL if you'd like to join in.

-There has been at least one popular remix of the commercial on YouTube. It's pretty funny too.

-For me, though, I'm curious how the whole freakin' commercial was shot *without* CGI! Seriously! Check out the 'Making Of' video with Old Spice's agency creators.

-Oh, and just in case you still haven't had enough of the buzz, you can also vote on the next T-shirt Old Spice will offer as swag at its online store!

Hehehehe ... OK that was fun :) Have a great weekend and I'll see you back here Monday for a (hopefully less hectic) post!
