Thanks to Georgia for finding and sharing a video of The Old Spice Guy telling us what’s important about libraries. It may not be the most complex defense of this venerable cultural institution, but if an attractive shirtless man with a dignified voice wants to tell us what’s awesome about libraries, I’m all for it:
Love this! The same guy also does another longer Old spice library commercial, filmed at BYU Harold B. Lee library, of all places.
Hi, Terresa-
Thanks for the tip–I looked up the commercial you’re talking about and think I’ve found the one. It is (if I have the one you’re talking about) actually a really well-done parody of the Old Spice commercial, advertising the BYU library. According to the article I found, it was done by a “university comedian.”
Delightful that a local comedian took the time to advertise the library. Which, by the by, looks like a pretty nice one…
Is this the one you’re talking about?
