Well, the Olympic Torch was in town yesterday. It was cold, but it's exciting to think of it making its way to Vancouver for the winter Olympics.
We have this Scotiabank TV commercial called 'I'm Right'. I wish I could find a youtube video for it. This couple is sitting in front of a financial advisor at a desk. The wife says 'can you please explain to him that now is not the time to invest?' She goes on and on about the reasons why and if the advisor could please set him straight. So the advisor gets this knowing look on her face, looks at the husband and says 'he's right'. The husband immediately rips his shirt off revealing this white t-shirt trimmed in the bank's red colour that says 'I'm right'. Yesterday morning's local TV station was having fun with the joke. All the men at the station were wearing these 'I'm right' t-shirts and they had to explain to the female co-host what this was all about. It was funny. All the men were looking so pleased with themselves at this inside joke they're calling the new 'male anthem'. I just found the Breakfast Television video called 'I'm right', it's under the caption 'BT bites'.
It's a great morning station, they were also demonstrating live streaming videos, now on the Iphone. So a team downstairs started filming, and the team upstairs could see what they were filming live on their own iphones. Filming must not be the right word for this (capturing images?).

Did you get to see the torch? It is going to be here on Sunday morning. It will actually pass by our Church while we are on the way there, so I am hoping not to miss it and I'll try to take pics :o)
ReplyDeleteI love that commercial that is too funny. We don't watch BT we watch Morning live, only because the news weather and traffic are local to us so I will have to go to their site and watch it.
Take Care
have a great weekend?
Interesting links today, Christine. I am glad I didn't buy that case of Kinder eggs to take back to the States! I had no idea they were banned. Such cute eggs too.
ReplyDeleteSoccerMom, I was in the grocery store when I heard a lady say she saw the torch go by! I missed it!
ReplyDeleteJapra, I'm surprised about the Kinder Surprise but good that you know, you wouldn't want to have those confiscated at the border.
