The Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" ad campaign should enlist a new man: Dale Begg-Smith, the Olympic silver medalist in men’s moguls. Begg-Smith is movie-star handsome, a world-class athlete, and a self-made millionaire-women of the world are begging for mercy! OK, apparently his business is spam and malware, but some of us can’t help but be attracted to a man with a little malware in his heart. Maybe the next time you get a message suggesting you can increase the "garth of your pecnis," it won’t be so annoying if it brings up visions of Begg-Smith. I admit he perhaps takes the smirking sang-froid a bit too far, but there is something irresistible about an athlete who disdains all the hoopla and self-congratulations and instead is a gorgeous enigma.
