Because Someone Has To Pay For Our Beloved TV Shows

Vance at http://tapeworthy.blogspot.com:

Because someone has to pay for our beloved TV shows, here's some commercials worth watching (seriously people, if we want to keep TV "free", we need to accept commercials SOMETIMES. Cause they KNOW we are Fast Forwarding through them when we DVR/Tivo things and not REALLY counting those numbers even though the Nielsen's are finally reporting it).

Some of these commercials are already spreading around the web like wildfire but I loved them and had to post them anyways!

I love flashmobs (this time for TMobile in the UK)! Reminds me of ImprovEverywhere's Mall Musical mixed with Frozen Grand Central.



This next one (after the jump) is SOOOO cute and funny but maybe NSFW:



Speaking of Durex condoms, here's one that had been floating around that has a young Dominic Cooper!!! How did I miss this? (Thanks to Sophia for the headsup!):



On a side note, I couldn't find the Honey Nut Cheerios commercial with the guy singing the cover of Macy Gray's "I Try" but I found out the singer is Ben Taylor. Love his cover:

Believe in Canada

Only a year and a month away!!!

I'm sure by then I'll be so sick of these "Believe" commercials running on CTV which already started airing on Jan. 1st 2009:



but right now the voice of Donald Sutherland (yes, Jack Bauer's real father), the cute face of Olympic hopeful and Alpine skier Jan Hudek, and the music of Howard Shore (yes, he's Canadian too!) is giving me very patriotic vibes.

Now let's just hope Vancouver doesn't screw it up. Like they've already screwed themselves. (Sorry, I'm from Toronto and have a love/hate thing for the "city". hehe. Yes it's part jealousy for the views (both landscape and men), the slower pace and lifestyle (do people even work there?) but seriously, how do they PAY for the real estate? Or are they expecting the tax payers to foot the bill to the luxury condos/Olympic village?))

I hope they do one for Patrick Chan. Here's the PetroCanada/CBC one that ran last summer during the Beijing Olympics.

Jan Hudec (born August 19, 1981 in Sumperk, Czechoslovakia) is a Canadian alpine skier. On February 11, 2007, he won the silver medal in downhill at the 2007 World Championships in Åre, Sweden. In the November of the same year he won his first World cup victory, a downhill in Lake Louise.

Here's the second "Believe" commercial in the series:
Mellisa Hollingsworth (born October 4, 1980 in Eckville, Alberta) is a Canadian athlete who has competed since 1995. She won the bronze medal in the women's skeleton event at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.
