    • It’s not amazing to me that someone came up with that idea for a TV ad. What’s amazing to me is that the client approved the idea, and then someone actually MADE the ad, and someone actually BROADCAST the ad. 🙂

  1. Wow, that is…uhm…well… odd. I like the little logo in the lower corner at the end for Mac’s – that is the name of my restaurant. FTR We do not server juice.

    • What id it for me was the fact that the liquid coming out of the weird tree-man was yellow, and it came out in a steady stream rather than spurts (though I suppose that otherwise it might’ve been a bit obscene even for Canadian TV standards). And what was up with the axes? Subtext of a castration fetish, perhaps?

  3. woo-hoo!
    and what’s wrong with golden showers?
    urine is sterile for the first few hours & it will even kill your athlete’s foot!
    yeah, well… i probably wouldn’t drink it, unless one of those ladies handed me a glass of… WTF?

    • I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with golden showers, mind–only that I don’t normally expect to see them in TV ads for convenience-store chains, is all. Of course, I also rarely expect to see lesbians with axes…err, chopping wood in TV ads, either…

  5. Yep, but sadly, only in Canada.

    A Canadian friend tells me its an ad for a convenience store chain, kind of the local equivalent of Circle-K.

  9. haven’t seen it on TV

    Have no idea where or when they’re actually showing the television ad – certainly haven’t seen it on the CBC!!! I think if my kids or any of their friends had seen it, I’d have heard about it. I’ve seen the posters that are part of the ad campaign for the drink at the stores and I think I’ve seen the subway ads (it is called “froster” – it’s not OJ, but a carbonated orange thingy which I’d not taken any notice of, since I don’t tend to drink that sort of thing)
