Jeez dude, it was a commercial for a beer. Of course it was a publicity stunt. You're like that annoying uncle that no one wants to invite to Christmas dinner because they are basically a major dick and put everything and everyone else down even though they live in Forest Lawn and drive a 72 Pinto on their way to work at the bottle depot.
Was it the best commercial ever in the history of TV advertising - no. Was a cute 2 minutes that tugged at the Canadian heart strings some - sure. Enjoy life dude.
Hahaha funny how people rip Forest Lawn, but the people here drive nicer cars and have more money in the bank than you.
I just hope they come to optimist this year and do it for cpsw!!
I'm telling you, I can get my GF to make a bunch of sandwiches and we can take Aeneas' car and troll downtown for a bunch of hobos and bring them to our game.
We'd have the best damned fans in the league!

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

Really? Amazing. I suggest you immediately contact the JREF to claim your million dollars - although since you live in Forest Lawn you likely don't need the money you could donate it directly to CP! Awesome. King among men!
Oh sorry, that's too close to a cheesy beer slogan and might unnecessarily tug at someone's heart. Disregard and go back to finding all the half empty glasses around.

Puckluck decided to post in it, and make it about himself... you know the usual.
Everyone else makes it about him because they fuel the fire after he trolls them.
If everyone collectively ignores his [subjectively] bad posts, we can move on.

I would say it's a fake. How many men's rec league games actually end in a 3-3 score? Our team has never given up less at 6 in a game haha
Haha I thought that as well, but then saw that they had the correct jerseys, but they all had different socks. That's classic rec league right there, plus it would be easier to fake the score to look more real than to go get 25 different pairs of socks for the actors.

Wouldn't be as hard as it seems. All you would really have to do is look at the league standings, and see how evenly the teams matched up, and made sure you selected the right teams.
Also, don't forget, they were expecting to be filmed for a mens league documentary already as mentioned at the start. So they were likely bringing their A games already anyway. I know if there was any cameras at one of my beer league games I would be going all out.

I do that every game. You never know when one of the homeless dudes slumped over in the top row is going to turn out to actually be an undercover NHL scout.

Moving back to Canada, my wife and I have noticed the absolutely ridiculous amount of hockey-related commercials here. Almost every commercial here has either a Hockey, Sidney Crosby, or "it's cold here" angle to it...some have all 3.
There's no need for foreigners to stereotype Canada....Canada does plenty of it to itself.
I'm a fan of this one:

Are we that simple?
Why does that make us simple? You could pull the same stunt in the US with Football, Europe with Futbol, China with Badminton, India with Cricket, or Forrest lawn with WWF....not sure why regional sports preferences are a disparaging surprise to you. Linking a product + a target demographic's interest is basic advertising.
I liked the commercial and wish more of them are actually enjoyable to watch.
