I am embarassed for your marketing department. This is the sad result of a poorly orchestrated attempt at some sort of viral leaching by a room full of middle aged guys, who's kids saw something on YouTube that they thought would be a good idea to copy.
I understand what you're trying to do here...but it's hard to make a parody of something that's not meant to be serious. It's gotta be really good, and this just doesn't cut it. Unfortunately, if this gets any kind of recognition it's going to be for being terrible.
It just isn't weird enough. One of greatest appeals about the Old Spice guy is that it's so freakin ridiculous. This is just...I dunno. You guys played it too safe.
Lol'd.

Good work Cisco! I'm posting it on my blog. This kind of interaction could lead to some valuable social media word of mouth marketing.

Uh oh, someone should have hired Wieden & Kennedy. Then you wouldn't have such a lame campaign. Fail.
