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 …

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 …

Separating Fools From Their Money And Cracking The Rest Of Us Up
If there’s anything the business world is good at, it’s creating problems that nobody has, convincing people that they have them and then selling them something useless with which to solve them. Today’s example of this statement in action comes in the form of the EZ Cracker egg cracker and separator. Yes, no more messy …

Come Down To Have Your Cake And Eat It Too Drug Mart
I saw a commercial that sort of pissed me off. It was for Rexall Pharma Plus. It was talking about how budgets were tight, but don’t worry, savings were there for you…through the Rexall elite program. Look for the symbol, and save 50% on things like Mascara!

Give Me Back That Filet-Of-Fish, Give Me That Fish
Damn this story, it has this commercial swirling around in my head. Rashon East thought the McDonald’s employee was taking too damn long to give him his filet-o-fish. So…he decided to climb through the window and get it himself. Oh, and to slap the employee and smack him against the counter too. Then, when the …
