Remember the ads that Coppertone ran where a small dog was tugging at the bathing suit bottom of a young girl? Well, they’ve brought that ad up-to-date and removed all possible sexual connotations. Now the dog is shown just playing with her, not tugging at her clothing.
Interesting full-page ads by Quebecor about lack of competition in the Canadian cell phone industry. At the same time, a 1/2 page article in one of our local papers lamented the same topic. One of the Quebecor ads states that Canada used to be #1 in the world in wireless usage. Now we are #29 [...]
