Superbowl Ads (Canadian Edition)
I'm sure we're all pleased that our tax dollars have been used by corporate welfare case Bombardier to purchase Superbowl ads reminding us of how proud we should be that it makes planes and trains.

Shameless Self-Promotion
3 comments:
I haven't seen a company so cocky since Nortel was in its heyday.
It always amazes me how companies that don't produce consumer goods or services love to spend their marketing dollars on television. As you point out, Nortel did this all the time. All ego.
Like that ad by Oracle that ran a few years back that simply stated the following: "Oracle - Software powers the Internet".
OK, so I'm supposed to go out and buy what, now, exactly?
