The Men Your Man Could Smell (and Fight) Like

The legendary fragrance of Old Spice seems to go awry now.

Isaiah Mustafa, the American actor who made waves being The Man Your Man Could Smell Like in the popular Old Spice advertisement in 2010, was made to yield the space of the Old Spice man to Fabio Lanzoni last month. Everything was fragrant until yesterday when a parody of the Issaih Mustafa ad featuring Fabio Lanzoni went as an upload on the newoldspiceguyfabio channel. Hialrious that it was, it created quite a furore among the female following. 

The same day, Issaih Mustafa sprung to life accepting the challenge in a video uploaded to the original OldSpice YouTube channel. A promo video was posted to the OldSpice channel advertising a face off event that would take place on July 26th, 2011 at 12 pm EST between Fabio and Isaiah.

Old Spice  would sure have its old faithfuls (as well as the others) hooked to this manhood/marketing phenomena 

Slap !!

We have an internet meme (or one in making) .

This one animates (quite literally) the rivalry between Google Plus and Facebook. Created by Ala’a Assamawy, this GIF is built as a spoof on Game of Thrones. Check out. (click on the image to enlarge and view the GIF animation.)

The Birth of a Nation

A new dawn will descend on close to 9 million beings on July 9, 2011 when Southern Sudan will finally gain independence from Sudan's Khartoum rule. This feat comes to them after witnessing decades of brutal strife and bloodshed.

We stumbled upon a You Tube short film directed by Refugees International , titled South Sudan: An Enduring Struggle, which highlights the miseries encountered by a nation on it's way to freedom.

South Sudan happens to be a resource rich nation and has already had support promises coming it's way  from a string of nations, including India. Also, July has seen developments in terms of nations coming-of-age in the past. In the major development of it's times, sovereignty returned to Hongkong on the first day of July in 1997.

but who killed the Internet Star ?

As the week draws to an end, we have the once hailed booster for the artists & musicians across the world, the social networking website Myspace being sold out to the relatively unheard Specific Media for a price which made rounds for being well,disappointingly low.

The company had been beleaguered and reporting losses since long. With it's meeting a dismal fate, we start thinking about the league of Internet celebrities which was conceived by Myspace. Is it that the once netizens revered figures of the likes of Tila Tequila, Jeffrey Star will fade away like another Internet meme ? Probably, with the ever increasing expanse of trends in social media and how people interact with each other and build circles, every other 'upcoming' phenomena ends up having a meteoric run only.

While we talk about this, the world is currently left awe-struck by Google Plus and is waiting for an invite in the kitty. Google,probably wouldn't like to reminisce the brickbats it received with the invites for Google Wave,which now rests in peace. However, refreshingly ,we have talks where Facebook is being placed along the word toppling. Well, wait for it.
