My trans-continental journey continues. Since my last post, I've headed into the great white north, visiting first Montreal (aka my home from ages 4-8) and now Quebec City.
One of my favorite things about visiting a new place is catching a little local TV. Especially the commercials. And I already have a favorite.
Anyone who saw the closing ceremonies of the Olympics knows that Canadians have a special talent for making fun of themselves. (This is, I think, an excellent trait in anyone, let alone an entire country.) Well, this commercial exemplifies that.
FYI, Tim Horton's is kind of like a Canadian McDonald's, and the commercial is about their annual prize fest.
(Sorry for the poor quality. I couldn't find an official version of the video, so I had to make do with a YouTube copy.)
I have to say, I laugh myself silly every time this commercial comes on. As a former almost-Canadian (okay, Canadian resident) I hope I've earned the right.
Hugs,
TLC
OH. MY. GODS. and GODDESS BOOT CAMP (out now)
FORGIVE MY FINS (coming June 1, 2010)
Wonderful, eh? Thanks Tera, and glad you're enjoying your trip!
ReplyDeleteI love Canada!
ReplyDeleteOh Tera....for shame! LOL! Tim Horton's is NOTHING like McDonald's. Tim Horton's is more like a Dunkin Donut...but with yummy sammiches. It's the best place on earth and their iced coffee is to die for. I loves me some Tim Horton's! A box of Timbits to go, please! = )
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having fun, Tera!
