Ah, the Irony!
A quick follow-up to the previous hippo post. I actually watched the Telus ad today (in other words, concentrated on something other than the hippo and the song) and the tagline that came after the hippo was priceless:
Not everyone wants a hippopotamus for Christmas.
Apparently, they do, as stores across Western Canada cannot keep enough hippo stock in this season.
The ad is actually pitching that you'll get an iPod if you order something or other. Tee hee. I love it when corporate ad-dom backfires in such an outrageous way. Although, you never know - maybe iPod sales will go up too. Just thinking that whatever Telus is selling probably won't.

That ad sounds a bit hare-brained -you mean they don't promise you a HIPPO if you order an IPOD? it seems a little backward...
Down with Telus! (But rock on, iPod... of course!)
