I haven't seen this ad in forever, but even all these years later, this ad still makes me laugh.

One of the most iconic Canadian commercials of all time. I enjoyed this ad, and it conveyed a very good message about critical thinking.

(American). i’d never seen this ad until stumbling upon this video. This is fantastic, a great way of spreading awareness for media literacy/fact checking. Sigh, If only more of us did that.. I want a house hippo

It was a very effective ad. I think they need to start making them again.
