Telus Fish Commercial

Ok, well I don't mean "bothered" in the sense that I'm bothered by homelessness and teenage prostitution!

I mean...well, there's a freshwater fish swimming around with four saltwater fish. Ok, maybe I'm just picky, but C'MON! It's like Telus making a commercial set in the Serengeti, with a zebra, a giraffe, a lion and a.....moose.

I love the commercials....for the average "joe" they are just great, eye catching and really I don't think anyone will attempt to duplicate it...good marketing I think...look at us, talking about it. Isn't that the idea? Next time we go to buy a cell phone etc we'll remember the commercial. We as a group remember it because of the flaw with fish choice, and the color issues with some of the fish (man I wish my Naso was that colorful!) but others just think it is so freakin cool!

Heh that stupid freshwater parrotfish ticks me off every time I see that commercial. So annoying!!!

It's catchy I'll give it that.

Poor parrot is going to drown in salt water though

Hahahahhaha.

Guys, maybe the Parrotfish is supposed to symbolize Telus' liberal support for anti-racism.

Think outside the box!
