I Love Awesomeness – The Delorean and The MixTape make an appearance in Old Spice’s latest ‘Champion’ line of deodorant.
Repeat after me… I am the best.
I have big muscles… and cool hair.
I have a sophisticated and diverse group of friends.
I own an environmentally responsible sports sedan.
I’m breaking up with Heather Graham because I need my space.
I am winning… all the sports.
I believe in myself.

1. Creativity.
Wieden + Kennedy Portland and Old Spice’s The Man Your Man Could Smell Like, aka Isaiah Mustafa, continue their marathon of manly manliness with more personalized video responses to the brand’s online following. Since yesterday, TMYMCSL has smoldered directly at the unknown and the well-known, including Ashton Kutcher, Mrs. Ashton Kutcher, Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski, um, yours truly and, in a brilliant meta-manly move, Isaiah Mustafa. He even delivered a marriage proposal, which was eventually accepted.
According to art director Craig Allen, the agency and Mustafa will be continuing the responses through today, so tune into the Old Spice YouTube page to see if Isaiah will single you out and check back here for a Q&A with the team that made it happen.
He also customized videos for a string of celebrity admirers, including Ashton Kutcher, Ellen DeGeneres, Ryan Seacrest, blogger Perez Hilton and Olympian Apollo Ohno.
“Can the Old Spice guy do ads for ALL the world’s products?!” tweeted actress Justine Bateman, echoing the sentiments of enraptured fans everywhere.
