Hey hubciti. No, I am not an immigrant, nor a minority. Like I said, I find it quite funny, and most should see it as a light-humoured joke....But it is also stereotypical and some might be offended. That's all I was saying.
I am one of the people responsible for selecting the star of this ad for Wind Mobile. We looked at many actors. This gentleman just happened to be the funniest and most talented improviser of all that auditioned. You should have heard his one liners that didn't make the final edit.
@jonlane1981 Since you were involved in this campaign, how do you feel about ripping off our State Farm "hot dog without a bun" campaign from two years ago? We're flattered you liked it enough to rip it off almost exactly.
@bpcrockett I did see your hot dog ad.Although it was well after the production of our campaign. Even though both ads use the example of a hot dog cart to illustrate a point, the points are different.Our ad exaggerates the"extra fees"charged by mobile phone suppliers in canada.Your ad exaggerates the poor coverage you get from other insurance companies.
Maybe you've seen the other ads in this campaign that are nothing like the other ads in yours. A coincidence. Although our casting was better.
After you pull your head out of your ass, wake up and smell the coffee. The REAL racist's are the one's like you who use their minority status to embellish stories like this one. Enough said, now..."Keep the bun back"
@bobchan111 Think about it. The commercial is portraying individuals of this culture with having jobs of this nature. I will admit, I think it's funny as hell, but there is definitely some stereotyping involved and it wouldn't be the same if a "white" person was used. as for your dumbass comment, it's awfully easy to talk trash over the internet isn't it....coward
I hope everyone leaves Bell and Rogers in mass and never goes back.They have been gouging consumers for years and now is our time to stick it to them..especially Rogers.And don't fall for there god damn retention deals it's what they should have been offering in the first place.
I like this commercial more than the TV ones about "monumental change". I get that it's good symbolism and all, but these ads are funnier and more relate-able than some people standing around, posing as monuments.
Ive been with rogers for a year now and i love it. the fact that i have coverage anywhere and there always there to answer your questions is great. just like any contract, your signing for what your getting and what your using. i currently pay $61 flat rate every month. evenings starting at 5 pm 300 day time minutes weekends unlimited txting and 500mb of data. im not switching until wind gives me data network as fast as rogers or bell and matches that contract for that price.
sorry but the plans you have are **** ...I have been with one of the other guys for 10 + years and I think I will stick with them for rest of my life ....
Unfortunately, land lines are expensive to set up, especially if there is already a lot of infrastructure in place. It means having to dig up the area to set up the landlines. With wireless, you just have to set up cellular towers.
$37 is way too much for basic service. You should call to threaten to cancel and see if they'll reduce your rates. If they don't, Wind may be a better option. Quite a few people switch from land line to cellular for convenience, so the threat is realistic.
That hotdog salesman sounds exactly like the rude rogers sales associate i enountered. I told her that WIND was coming and that they have the opportunity to retain my business by renegotiating my contract that was about to expire. She said that WIND will not be coming to Canada and that my offer was absurd. Funny thing...my offer is exactly what WIND actually offered. To Rogers....I will never do business with you EVER. You are finished.
Wind Mobile can be found in Toronto Blockbuster outlets. Right between the Deuce Bigalow box set and Striptease directors cut DVD. What about late fees?
Uh Oh...the ad company that made this video deleted my previous comment. So much for listening to customers. I guess that was another meaningless slogan from a telco.
They say the best comedy comes from tragedy; That's why this is so funny... because sadly, for us Candians, it's a completely accurate portrayal of the big 3 current cellphone companies.
@iamfob....they likely are. I dont think they have an actino plan though. They have very bad pr. The only way I´d do business with them again is if they offered a no fee plan with unlimited incoming and out going plan and a blow job.
If only cell phone companies were this up front. This is what actually happens:
"Our hot dog plan gets you a certain amount of hot dog at some price all month, but it's done by weight, so to keep track you have to weigh them yourselves. If you eat less than you bought, we keep the rest of the hot dogs. If you eat more, the rate goes up by ten times. We'll keep track but won't tell you until the month is up.
