Saving You From Some Trouble On The Internet And Beyond

I haven’t had much to say the last couple days (energy sapping migraines will do that to ya), but I’m starting to feel a bit better so I thought I’d pop in with a couple of helpful links that will hopefully save you some trouble down the line. I have no interest in Facebook whatsoever, …

The Vtech Bullshit Hotline

On all of the Blue Jays radio broadcasts they’ve been plugging this Vtech Bullpen Hotline contest where you can win a VTECH Dect 6.0 Model DS6321-2 dual-handset cordless phone every time the team playing against the Jays goes to their bullpen. Actually they use this stupid wording about “every time the Jays ring up the …

Fuck You For Flying JetBlue

Can you imagine being on this JetBlue flight? You arrive at JFK, and then a flight attendant goes positively lulu! Well, can you find a better way to sum up this chain of events? JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh had taxied to a stop at Terminal 5, Gate C around noon Monday when flight attendant …

August Long Weekend Audio

Boy oh boy do I have a monstrosity for you! Remember how we said our Canada Day audio would never be heard by the world? Well, that still holds, so we decided to try again. And we created something even longer and crazier than that one! We didn’t mean to, honest. We just sat down …

When I Search For You, YouTube Goes Beep

PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF! Yes! Remember that heart goes beep Toyota commercial I was talking about? Well, Gotcha! So, to that family looking for it, there ya go. I can’t vouch for the quality of the video, the sound is in mono, but I think I caught a glimpse of movement, so I think there is …

Commercials That Drive Us Crazy In Jays Games

In our last ad roundup, I mentioned wishing I had audio for a couple of ads. Well, I’ve made my own audio, courtesy of a Victor Reader Stream and a TV. Apologies if the audio is a little loud. If I didn’t get close, it would be too quiet. So, here are the two Super …

Shake Off The Blinders, Look At Your City

So, Niagara has launched a tourism ad campaign called “Shake Off the City” encouraging Torontonians to come to Niagara to get away from the hustle and bustle that is Toronto, and this has caused a few Torontonians to cry like babies. They say it unfairly portrays Toronto as an urban jungle. Um, have they forgotten …

It’s A Mini Canada Cast!

Well, it’s the first of the month, and you know what that means in Trixie land, right? It’s revolution time! And it’s time for us to try once again to capture Trixie’s utter hatred for the stuff. When we first thought about doing this, we thought we’d just catch the end result. But because we …

Some Weird Ads For Ya

It’s time once again for an episode of what the hell is up with these commercials? This one took us a while to put together, and it has less in it. There’s been this ad campaign pushing Ontario as the place to be. I think it started when we moved into this apartment, because I …

When I Think About This, My Mind Goes Reel

Edit: Hey, family with the kids in the video. Get your video here, red hot! I wish I could find the song…but I can’t, but I still want to talk about it. Has anyone else heard the Toyota commercial with a song in it that sounds like it’s saying “This smile, I’m giving you to …
