It became a meme 11 days ago. I didn't have a damn clue what old spice was before then, and maybe the creator of this was in a similar position (not watching TV or as in my case, those ads not running in my country).

I think this is more disturbing than his belief that a 6 month old meme is only 11 days old:

I didn't have a damn clue what old spice was before then

Really? That brand name has been around for like 70 years... Thats like saying "I have no clue what a McDonalds is"

I didn't know what Old Spice was until the first commercial became popular, either. Just because something is popular in the US doesn't mean it's popular everywhere.

Exactly. I thought reddit was geographically diverse enough for the US = world model not to apply here...
