Not that I want to defend this awful commercial, but it's not like you can wake up in the morning, see that it's snowing, and throw together a commercial shoot that day. The logistics of these things have to be planned well in advance.

But yeah, still an awful awful ad.

where's the old Safeway that they use in that commercial? I don't see too many of that old style Safeway buildings around anymore.

Mayland Heights.

It's now called Family Foods, on the corner of 8th Ave and 19th St NE. It was also the store that Oliver Platt's character owned in the first season of Fargo.

That commercial reminds me of Calgary radio hosts any time there's a cm of snow and conditions aren't bad at all

"OMG, do whatever you can to stay home, the roads are HORRIBLE!"

I clicked in this thread to post this. I like Burns but that's just an awful, cringe inducing, bad commercial.

I listen to 660 news in the morning, get hit by this same ad almost every morning:

"It's better in the Bahamas! Romance all the day!!"

I'd be more interested in alcohol all the day.

I watch Modern Family after work just as something light to throw on in the background while I'm getting dinner ready. They play this commercial like, twice an episode. It's so obnoxious. This is only about 15 seconds of the commercial. Thank god.

We could have a sub-thread for shameless sell-outs.

Ex. Come To My Window by Melissa Etheridge - now an ad for Applebees take-out window.

[for the record, I'm not against artists making some $]
