There is no doubt that you all have seen the new Old Spice commercial featuring Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. I am curious as to why Ray Lewis is the new spokesperson for Old Spice now. I guess Mustafa got to big for the commercials with his role in an upcoming movie with Jennifer Anniston.
Since the change Old Spice viral videos have been falling down the charts according to AdAge.com. The ad is ok with Ray Lewis but it doesnt captivate the audience with its redicuousness. Ray Lewis maybe be a better football player than Mustafa was. Yes he was in the NFL for a short period of time. Look it up. He doesn't have the swagger that Mustafa had and not mention that voice of a greek god that sucked you in.
For me I have never seen an ad campaign sweep the nation quite like Mustafa did with the Old Spice campaign "The Way Your man could Smell." He is an internet legend. But I guess all good things must come to an end.
My advice to Old Spice cut your losses with Ray Lewis. Bring back Mustafa.

Mustafa's is better isn't it? Thought so.
