| | Posted: | | | | I like the fact the Invelos here on the forum spreads out over the world from the USA to Europe Austrailia and beyond ... so amuse me for a few minutes here ..  In my area of the world here ( Vancouver BC) we have our Internet/Highspeed High def company by the name of Shaw cable.. Rogers cable is back east in Toronto and of course there are numerous other cable companies around the world and in the USA .. What I'm looking for without having to do too much digging is for you to view the video here that has been currently playing since the first week of February 2012 and tell me if you've seen this before and if so.. what was the name of the cable company they were plugging..?? I Love this ad.. and I laugh and smile everytime I see it.. ( maybe 3 dozen times so far in 3 weeks).. The location is our own Vancouver (Burrard Inlet) Harbour.. and the jest of the ad is.. of course how realistic High def can be from your own living room chair..  Check the guy with the remote .. I'm sure this ad will win awards .. But It could be easily placed with any other cable companys . . Have you seen this? and if so.. who was the sponsor on the tag end.. For the next few minutes, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to — ?? Oh yeah the Outer Limits .. ( or in this case Shaw EXO High speed High Definaiton TV ...) ..  | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | Nice commercial, but have never seen it before. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.

| | Posted: | | | | Great commercial. No I've not seen it before and the company appears to be Shaw. I don't know whether EXO or EXD, not sure which, is part of the name. | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

| | Posted: | | | | If you remember the great radio ads from the sixties with a jingle and flair were usually mixed at the end to include a differant station and call letters .. so in thinking this I can imagine that it would be very simple to use this ad for say..Comcast, Buckeye, Atlantic, Adams etc .. Cable Companys from around the country (world?) and could easily pay for this ad and put there own company at the end........
If this happens you'll be able to say Been there/ seen it..... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.
