[Editor's Note: I think Isaiah Mustafa created one of the most memorable spokespeople of our time - right up there with Miller High Life's Wendell, and the vastly-loathed Dos Equis Most Interesting/Sexist/Racist/Hemingway-esque man in the world.  And well Fabio?  I think he's mostly still famous because of that pigeon to the face debacle.   What do you think?  Who would you rather YOUR man smell like? --Morgan]

He's also done some "Responses"-like shout-outs to celebs such as Creativity's own Ann Christine Diaz.

Nooooo - Fabio is so yesterday's news.  I went to an event where Fabio made an appearance and my SO said, "Do you know he has not looked at a single woman at this event?"  hmmmmm

Fabio was always a bit of a cartoon to me and seemed to believe his press, but Isaiah Mustafa at least knows he's playing a character.

Besides, if you are considering the "Fresh if sold before..." date, Fabio is definitely PAST it.

Which makes me wonder--are the people at Madison Avenue so old and out of it that they don't know who's "in" this year?
