Earlier I discovered that the Canadian Tire family (Via Alan), Ted and Gloria Simonett no longer star in the new Canadian Tire commercials. There’s (most likely) going to be a short discussion over at Metafilter.
Not that I really care: I just wanted to mention that the first time I saw a Canadian Tire commercial, I thought Canadian Tire was a charity. When I found out that it wasn’t I (wrongly) assumed it was probably a company that sold tires. Which isn’t completely true either, after I figured out that the couple above really were trying to sell people Mastercraft wares instead of tires (‘Only at Canadian Tire!’). Imagine my surprise when I heard about Canadian Tire money.
Surreal, I’ll tell you.
