Both weak attempts at trying to create a word that they hope people will adopt and start using day to day (neologism) and thus eventually turn into something uniqely Canadiana, especially with guyet.
Foodie already is a word, to describe someone who likes to try new and interesting foods (but probably not pasta at BP's)
This Budweiser Red Light commercial ... could they really not have come up with some names better than Shanko and Lando for the PBP? It just seems lazy.
Came into this thread to post this. My god it gets me riled up every time.
Plus I ****ing can't stand Jim Hughson.

On Radio - Spence Diamonds - Can barely listen to 960 in the morning anymore because there are so many of these commercials.
The worst part is, the guy who does all those commercials clearly knows we all hate his ads, he's even addressed it in later annoying ads. Yet despite this, he still pumps out new ones seemingly every month for what, 5-6 years now? I'm starting to wonder if the whole point is just to #### us off.
Not that I would get married again...learned my lesson on that one but if I was to get married again I would never, ever buy a F'ing ring from that @sswipe! I don't care if I had to pay a grand more. I could never support that place.
I know that 960 likes the revenue from their ads but in the morning I listen up till one of those come on and then its over to XM radio.
In-house produced Fan960 commercials are getting really, really stale. Why?
Because they use the same guy for every ad, and his voice is rather irritating. Back to back commercials of the same guy trying to be a happy customer for company Z - doesn't really sell the idea there 960.
Been watching quite a few shows on FX Canada lately and not only do they have gear grinding commecials, they only seem to have a couple of them so you see them constantly. There is a flu medicine one, actually 2, one has a girl and one has a guy. But they change the camera distance on every single word they speak, sometimes they'll even do a zoom in while she's saying one word.
and there's a teeth whitening one where I would punch the db guy if I ever saw him on the street, in the teeth.
