New Canadian Tire couple

Just saw the new campaign... Instead of Annoying Man, they seem to have
reintroduced Idiot Man.

Does Crappy Tire think we;re stupid? Apparently so.

For Grid's sake, if you're going to fix folding deck chairs with duct
tape, you use at least a roll per chair.

Sheesh. They're using a faux Ray Romano when they should be using the
real Red Green. Twits.

They probably couldn't afford Red Green.

And Idiot Man is a classic US advertsing icon.



Even if they were that smart.

Yup... we're stoopid. Yet I find people with shopping carts full waiting
in lines of 8 people or more...'cuz there's only one cashier open.

They advertise heavily to entice me to go spend my money at CTC...but
when I get there, nobody wants to take my money.... they won't/can't
help me with a basic question either. ("will this wax ring fit my
shitter?") A: "Best you check with your doctor."

I do not like that store... where do they get those nuclear fluorescent
lights?

Home Hardware, from a guy that works in the trade and knows what he's
talking about.

CT used to be a good store, but as the average age of the employees went
down, so did the quality of service. I like their 80% off lost-leaders,
though.
