Cross-post between the "Funny Pictures!" thread and "Random Crap" thread, because I want to share this thing with everyone.
I saw this ad as a poster in a hotel around town, and thought it was one of the better print ads I've ever seen (especially considering that it's local). Recently I had a conversation about good ads with a friend, and I desperately searched for this online. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found. Making use of my recently-learned Harass Strangers Via Unsolicited Emails To Get What You Want technique, I emailed the Newfoundland Liquor Corporation to ask if I could get a digital copy to share through my blog and Facebook.
Here it is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Joke explanation/exposition inside, for those unfamiliar with Newfoundland

Joke explanation/exposition inside, for those unfamiliar with Newfoundland
I once met a few Ontarians who were surprised when they discovered that neither myself or my Newfoundlander friends were very good swimmers. Their logic was that if we lived on an island, it would make sense that we would swim a lot. This, of course, does not take into account the fact that we are an island in the North Atlantic, where ten minutes in the water in the 'wrong' time of year could kill you, and ten minutes in the 'right' time of year is at best 'uncomfortable.'
Add to this the fact that we have an impossibly rocky shoreline that would kill swimmers and surfers alike, were they to venture into the water anyhow, and the idea of a Newfoundland Surf Team takes on an absurdly comical flavor.

I thought Newfie Screech was a homemade, illegal moonshine. I did not know there was a namebrand rum as well.Cross-post between the "Funny Pictures!" thread and "Random Crap" thread, because I want to share this thing with everyone.

Well, it's both, sort of. Many will swear only by the homemade stuff (which I must regretfully admit to never having tried), but the professionally bottled stuff is pretty good. And it's a pretty big deal, too. The Newfoundland Liquor Corporation is the only provincial liquor board in Canada that has retained it's right to continue bottling alcohol, basically because there was fear that letting it go to a private company would lead to a lowering of quality in the product.

So are you telling me that my local LCBO will not carry this brand of rum?
Bummer. I don't even drink much hard alcohol anymore, but that's a bottle I'd like to have on my shelf.
Not sure. I have heard tell of 'Newfoundland Stores' in Ontario that carry bits of Newfoundlandia, although I'm not sure they would be able to carry hard liquor.So are you telling me that my local LCBO will not carry this brand of rum?

Were I in a better financial situation right now, I'd gladly send you up a bottle

Seriously, it's such a pointless thing to do to the poor animal.

I'm thinking the guy with the laser pointer is more likely to be the one responsible for the docking.
Man, he was literally trying to walk on air... wth?

I think he's trying to do that little run up the wall and then back flip off it, but he starts the run up just a hair too soon.

If you watch carefully, you'll see his first foot against the wall slips significantly. It could be he didn't run into it correctly, but I'm thinking it's the spiderman pajama footies - just way too slippery dude.
But I fully endorse full-body pajamas with footies. Just not in situations where grip is critical.
I like that. That's nice.
