There is an advertising campaign that I frickin hate. I hear it on the radio often and also on TV sometimes. It's been running for quite a while, several months at least.

The central offending issue is this really annoying song being sung by a female singer.

I don't actually know what the ads are for. Somewhere along the line, I picked up that it is for a car but I have no idea what car. Perhaps that is to the discredit of the ads. Shouldn't people, after hearing your ad 11 billion times, know what it's about?

I don't know.

Anyway, the thing about me and advertising is it doesn't have a positive effect on me. i.e. - I don't buy stuff because of ads. I mean unless the ads are actually delivering some good practical information - which is rare.

But just in terms of repetitive advertising, that is not going to work on me. I am not going to buy Axe body spray or eat at MacDonalds because I have been bombarded by the names.

What I will do though, is boycott products with really annoying advertising. I consider it a civic duty. The point here being, I need to figure out what this horrible ad is for and boycott it. If I bought a few of these cars and then found out it is the subject of these ads, I would never forgive myself.
 
I just got a cup of soft serve ice cream from burger king. They give you no chocolate or nuts with it. So I'm thinking I got some chocolate peanut cluster candy and I'm considering slicing one of them up and throwing it in the ice cream. But then I'm thinking is that ridiculous to make such a big production out of ice cream? Am I crossing some horrible fat slob line? :dunno:
 
Turns out, I'm really, horribly out of shape. 55 flights (out of 144) into the CN Tower climb, my legs couldn't take it anymore. Had to stop 2 minutes, climb another 15 flights, stop 2 minutes, 15 more flights.

We got a spreadsheet with everyone's time that day. Out of 3000+ climbers, I beat 350 of them. :facepalm:

Never again.

Sorry for the lack of a shout out video but we got our iPhones confiscated. We were warned that they weren't allowed but we tried to smuggle them in anyway. Just before entering the tower, we had to go through a full pat-down, like the secondary screening they do at the airport when you trigger the main metal detector. :fok:
