Since having a long weekend this weekend, I've had the TV locked on live Olympics from when I get up to 3pm, then sometimes the wrap up evening show, then again from 11:30pm until when I head to bed.
Like things like the World Cup (soccer) there are nowhere near enough ads for the amount of commercial time.
- The Air Canada ones - the idea of how one can be creative when things go wrong, or think quick on their feet...seems very opposite of the stuck in the red tape and expensive union contracts of the real Air Canada
-My vote for the "greatest Canadian" would be the one that decides to take the ads (two every 5 minutes) for it off the air ASAP.
- Royal Bank claiming to be the first Olympic sponsor ad, seem to be a bit shady..maybe the first "sponsorship" of Olympic hockey or maybe its also the first high interest loan that RBC charged athletes who had little to no credit.
I am sure there are more...I've managed to tune most of them out of my head after a week or so of watching them.
