According to the video below, the Dos Equis “Most Interesting Man in the World” is being replaced; there is now a new “Most Interesting Man in the World.”
And the Verizon “Can you hear me now” guy has defected to Sprint.
What is this world coming to? How can this be?
Scripture says, We have here no lasting city (Heb 13:14). There is a well-known saying that used to be etched on many fireplaces: Sic transit gloria mundi (Thus passes the glory of the world). Yes, worldly things are fleeting; honors fade. The person at the top will be replaced. Someday, even the names of the most popular and famous people today will be met with responses like this: “Who? Never heard of him!”
As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
for the wind passes over, and he is gone,
and his place knows him no more (Psalm 103:15-16).
Monsignor Pope Ping
Has the glory of Christ faded? I think not.
All joking aside, the real “Most Interesting Man in the World” was crucified almost 2000 years ago ...
Amen.
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".
Because, after all, "Dos Equis" is a girl (XX). ;-)
