It's not that we're deficient in our education in geography here in Canada.
We just don't appreciate it when proctor & gamble feeds us bullshit. The fact that the commercials were altered after our comments says a lot.
It's a great idea, it just didn't need to be localized at all.
That'd be like the one talking about Holly Colorado saving *Canadian* skiiers or whatever they were saving, it really just sounds like they're pandering to patriotic emotions.
I for one am proud of that little commercial in my little hometown of Estherville, Iowa! I can run right out my door and look at that very wind turbine! Way to go ILCC! And thanks to Duracell fro choosing our little rinky-dink town!
it's pretty sad that duracell likes to pretend that these guys from iowa come here to fix our generating equipment... airing this commercial in Canada makes no sense, and yet they do it so many times a day on multiple canadian channels, somehow hoping to trick canadians into thinking theres a place called Iowa around here.
@oxymoronx420 : Iowa Lakes CC has graduated students FROM Canada, who then return to Canada to do turbine work. Why is that difficult to understand? The point of the ad is to sell batteries. ILCC uses these batteries. Is THAT also difficult to understand???
@oxymoronx420 You... are an idiot. It's the state below Minnesota... which borders Manitoba and Ontario. Geography is hard....and apparently so is looking at a map or googling.
Here's a phun phact... If you think all commercials are the same consider this: when they play this ad in Canada, the line "at Iowa Lakes Community College, the students learn to keep America's wind turbines..." is changed to "CANADIAN wind turbines". I did not realize that students were frequently crossing the boarder to keep our wind turbines humming along too! That's quite a drive from Iowa!...
A Jeff Bridges endorsement is good enough for me.

Just think of this: when unloading a fully automatic nerf gun onto a horde of zombies, nobody trusts any other battery more than duracell.

Yup, Duracell lied about Canadian wind turbines. I notice that the commercials running now have taken out the reference to Canada. LIARS.

They actually do use duracell, and as far as the lighting they used a lot of lights as they do in all commercials for picture quality.
