Last night I saw the new Maple Leaf Foods you can eat our meat again without being killed by listeriosis ad for the first time. It was pretty simple, a lot like the ones that ran right after the shit hit the fan. Company CEO Michael McCain calmly addresses us, letting us know that well, …

I’ve gotQuestions, readers Have Answers
Well, it looks like I’ve found all the answers to my questions about ads, thanks to someone who reads but never comments. She says the falling toonies are for Canada Savings bonds, the ad with Silent Night in it is for Pampers and a bunch of babies are sleeping. But the most disappointing one was …
I Like chinese…
this is why I will never, ever, ever, try to learn to speak any Chinese dialect. I would probably try to say hello, and I’d say the Chinese equivalent of “Fuck you.”
Where Values Aren’t King
I definitely agree that this is insulting to something, but I’m not sure if it’s more insulting to our intelligence as a people or to the folks rooked into being part of some stupid commercial. I’d consider boycotting Burger King over this, but I already don’t eat there because almost every time I get stuck …
Failed Advertising
I’ve got a bunch of things that make me go “What the hell?” when I see them on the TV, so I thought maybe if I wrote them up here, somebody could explain them. either that, or everyone will be just as baffled as I am. they’re all TV commercials. Ok, in the first one, …
They Are? Wow, You Had Me Worried There For A Second
I live in Canada. More often than not, when I’m listening to radio, it’s Canadian radio. And every now and then when I hear a commercial, I’ll hear the stupidest thing. The latest example is the ad for those Pizza Hut Pizza Mia deals, the ones that are only $6 each if you buy 3 …

Baby Freak-Me-The-Hell-Out-A-Lot Would Be More Like It
I don’t think I’d ever buy one of theseBaby Laugh-a-Lotthings for my kids, because I know the next thing I’d be buying them is about a thousand years worth of therapy. Seriously, listen to that thing! Have you ever heard a laugh like that coming out of something that wasn’t chasing you down and killing …

Wacky Random November Thoughts
I had some random thoughts, so figured I should heave them up here in no particular order. Although you’d never know it from today’s weather, which I want to see stay as long as possible, that bastard old man known as winter is going to show up and I’m not looking forward to it. When …
Oh Shut Up
SellOffVacations.com is currently running an ad for some special they have on about travelling down south. The catch line at the end of the commercial is “At these prices, it would cost you more to stay home.” This, of course, is a mathematical impossibility. At least I think it is. Unless you’re currently selling off …
Wouldn’t You Agree This Commercial Is Crappy Crappy?
Ack, I forgot one piece of utter lameness from Wendy’s. It can’t go unmentioned. There was a commercial for some Wendy’s chicken salad that went something like “If crispy chicken breast is good, and crunchy veggies are good, then wouldn’t putting the two together be… good good?” first of all, what the hell is “good …
