The recent Old Spice commercials and ensuing YouTube videos have taken the Internet by storm, but we don't think anyone was expecting the meme to go this far. Daniel Freilich, a Democrat trying to unseat Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), has debuted a campaign commercial that parodies the signature Isaiah Mustafa ads, going so far as to feature the candidate "on a cow" at the end. While Freilich is considered a "long shot" for the Senate seat, this unique campaign strategy definitely has the Internet's attention. (Via The Daily What)

That was both awful and terrible. ... I LOVED IT! If I lived in Vermont - and I thank God that I don't - I would vote for him.
