Whatever you think of The Sun and its “Page 3 Girls”, this is a great lampoon of the Old Spice commercial.

I’ve been waiting for this. The accent takes it home.

Cute, but she lacked the assured delivery that made the Old Spice campaign rock.
Lovely coconuts, though.

So this took a commercial that was brilliant in no small part because of its gender-reversal of the usual commercial technique, and … gender-reversed it.
The point: ur missin it.

*sigh* No, I’m not missing the point. I’m simply not viewing it through that lens.
I’ve seen a LOT of parodies of the Old Spice commercial. I’ve *written* one. And this one does a great job of lampooning it, the sexual politics of it aside.
It made me laugh on a night I didn’t have much of a sense of humour. I shared it with others, in the hopes it might make them laugh too. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it.

… that was poorly said on my part. *contrite* I didn’t mean you were missing the point; I meant the Sun was.
Which may not be an improvement. Still. Sorry. Didn’t mean to harsh your squee, as the fangirls say.

*grin* No worries. And on that note, I agree with you, though I’m not entirely certain the utter upside-downness of it doesn’t just make it funnier. 🙂

This is why if I repost this — and I haven’t decided if I will — I’m switching comments off.
