Old Spice will be in the Business texts for how to successfully revitalize a brand. Old Spice was an "old man cologne" when I was growing up. - TWuG Jul 14, 14:52 21
- Is there evidence that the marketing has worked? "Where's the Beef?" was memorable, but not successful, for Wendy's -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 15:10

      - they're doing a two-day marathon session where they source out tweets, facebook comments, and youtube comments about old spice and write and produce - Beryllium Jul 14, 15:06 1
        
        (And it's not something that was planned before - they're seeing them live, and responding somewhat live-ish.) - Beryllium Jul 14, 15:07
      - I think there have only been a couple of actual tv ads; but there are now more variations being offered on youtube, adding onto the virally spread - b. Jul 14, 15:06 1
        
        They're not really ads; that might be what's confusing. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 15:07
  - press "power" on you TV remote :) - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 15:02
  - No one talks about those ads. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 15:00

- It's not viewed that way anymore? - musubi Jul 14, 14:55
- I dunno ... this one is pretty good, too, and it pre-dates Isaiah. But it also pre-dates the internet, which may be why it didn't get as much attntion -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:54 [youtube] 4
  - (I should know better. It doesn't pre-date the Internet. It just pre-dates the rampant popularity of the WWW and email and this whole - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:55 3
    - Right. The WWW and e-mail only had a niche audience 3 years ago. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 14:57 1
      - that may be when it was uploaded, but it strikes me as being slightly older than that, like 2001 or so. Pre-youtube. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 15:05
    - yes it is from last spring i think :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 14:57

For Canadians: The Federal Liberals are on national tour, yesterday the campaign bus broke down, was fixed at placed called "Harper Diesel"....(link) - Walt_Disney Jul 14, 14:43 2

Having Sicko on in the background here... The idea that healthcare for all is "socialism", continues to amaze me. Same principle as insurance. But - facto Jul 14, 14:39 6
- "but most of all" - anyhew: would the tax burden even be as high as the average of what people pay for health insurance? I hardly think so. - facto Jul 14, 14:49
- Socialism is indeed the most ideal form of government/economy. If for nothing else, saving all that effort just moving money around. - Socialist Vermin Jul 14, 14:45 2
  - But healthcare for all is infrastructure. It's not socialism - which was my point, of course. OTT, good one ;-) -- nm - facto Jul 14, 14:50

  - You most likely have Hepatitis and should see a doctor immediately. (yes) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:40 4
    - i like to be warned about mindlessly using the net for no good reason - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 14:41 3
      - there's gotta be at least 60 of them now. I wouldn't say it's "no good reason", it's just "bold, refreshing, humorous advertising gimmicks". -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:46 2
        
        since we dont have old spoice crap here most (if not all) are lost on me...including the potential smile factors and all - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 14:48 1

I've transferred the bulk of my 1.5Gb Outlook mailbox to Gmail. Gmail can barely handle it. - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 14:34 22
- Maybe you should have that many in the Inbox at one time. Just sayin'. -- nm - sycor Jul 14, 14:56 8
  - should not, you mean? I was thinking to myself, did he forward 25.000 times, or can you forward entire folders at a time? Or some other nifty method.. -- nm - facto Jul 14, 14:58 7
    - Gmail does IMAP. I opened the account in my Outlook and just dragged the folders (there are *hundreds*) over. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 15:02 2
      - he that brougt a sweat to your exchange server i bet :) - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 15:05

  - They've paid off in terms of blackmail may times over. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 14:43 1
    - and you complain about googles free of charge service????? - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 14:46
  - One would think that not all those were necessary to keep for posterity, indeed :-) -- nm - facto Jul 14, 14:40 6
    - you can keep them for enternaty but in the same mailbox? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 14:42 5
      - Not in the same folder! -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 14:42 4

        He sees the matrix! OMG, he's the chosen one... -- nm - facto Jul 14, 14:53
- Almost every day, my PC comes to a point where it grinds to a halt for about 20 mins, until finally a dialogue box says that a script stopped running - facto Jul 14, 14:38

  - I'll try a different one. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 14:35
PIRR: Health inspectors were suspiciously called to our store. I couldn't imagine who did it. Without going over, what was our score? -- nm - Qale Jul 14, 14:33 9
- The answer is 71. The store is a nightmare. I need to leave. -- nm - Qale Jul 14, 14:46
- Maybe I should give a hint: At one point, due to the walk-in door hinge being broken, the inspector was trapped inside comically for a few minutes. -- nm - Qale Jul 14, 14:37 2

        they'll play this year on Nov 6th, probably the last meeting for a while -- nm - crash davis Jul 14, 14:34 5
        
        I wish it were a season where a bet wouldn't be so one sided. - musubi Jul 14, 14:37 4
        
        unfortunately for the Warriors, its in Boise this year and I think they'll seed the clouds for an early snowfall -- nm - crash davis Jul 14, 14:39 3

  - exactly - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 14:27
  - We would know only because of the tsunami that resulted from it. -- nm - sycor Jul 14, 14:25
- I don't think this is a case of being marginalized as much as the person simply not having the experience or knowledge to understand. -- nm - pmb Jul 14, 14:23 14
  - I don't think it's intentional at all. Jax is a good dude, and he asked it completely innocently. - musubi Jul 14, 14:25 12
    - Ukrainians and Russians get that all the time too. -- nm - zork Jul 14, 14:26 11

        Fair nuff. (nm) - musubi Jul 14, 14:38
        
        yeah, but the USSR is to Russia as the USA is to Texas -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:31 5
        
        I get that, it just seems...different. - musubi Jul 14, 14:36 4
        
        how many wars and genocides did Spain and Portugal wage against each other? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:38 3

- you're japanese? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:18 4
