Does this fill you with nerd rage?
There are new commercials on the air for Old Spice Swagger. This one features Brian Urlacher, middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears.
Personally, I think the commercial is absolutely hilarious. But one thing I’ve noticed over the years is that a lot of us geeks aren’t very willing to laugh at themselves. I’ve no doubt that a few folks out there have seen this commercial and think it’s “demeaning” to RPG or LARP enthusiasts and that it infers that it’s a bad thing to be a gamer.
What do you think; hilarious commercial or impuning slander?

That’s a *great* commercial. I love it. Any nerd that takes offense to something like that needs to turn in their membership card.
