I just caught a most bizarre ad on a local Boston channel. It was an ad promoting tourism to Nova Scotia. My question is: why would the government of Nova Scotia place an ad for tourism in the winter? And the add itself was weird-business men seated at a table, having some kind of meeting-they peel off their moustaches-and underneath is written on the upper lips “NOVA SCOTIA”.
Sounds like they hired a low rent ad agency-this is just so weird! :smack:
Ah, yes. But see, now you’re Nova Scotia-aware, right? So it worked!
But, when else can they advertise for tourism for Nova Scotia? Does Nova Scotia have any season other than winter? 
Okay, and two months of damned poor sledding.
Hey! Quit stealing jokes from the Mainiacs! :mad:
Hey! I’m an American. I’ll steal words and phrases from any language, dialect or culture I want to, dammit. It’s my Constitutionally protected right! That’s the πth Amendment, in case you’re wondering. It’s also the one that allows Americans to take world cuisines and adapt them. Like making Tex-Mex pierogies.
Okay, that ad just sounds creepy.
But I’ve also seen ads in the Toronto subway advertising jobs in Nova Scotia. It’s apparently very very beautiful up there, whatever season you go. More to the point, they need the money: the industries they had there, as I understand it, have kind of dried up. They’re looking for anything they can find to revitalize the area.
So my Ontario friends said, at least.
To give people time to plan their vacations.
Apply directly to the forehead!
Oh, now that’s just wrong. :eek:
Actually, they came out very well. Here’s my recipe, to give you an idea of what I mean.
Nova Scotia in winter:
• Sunrise in Wolfville
• Beached fishing boats
• River in the woods
• Sunrise, Ragged Harbour
• Winter moon
• Winter river
