Notably, there are no animals anywhere to be found.

Reminds me of the line from about two years back:

"Why do Bell and Telus use animals in their ads?"

"Because they couldn't find a human being who had anything good to say about them."

"Do you hear that Mr. Andersen? That's the sound of inevitability..."

Competition? In the Canadian mobile space? Dear god, there may be hope for us after all.

What a waste of time and money! Whoever thought up this ridiculous scheme should be fired from wherever....To have that elderly lady search her purse for $2.00...the purpose being???? Some people thrive on going too far! I am disgusted with the whole scenario!

I will wait and see if Wind is all it's cracked up to be. Globalive also owns a company called Canopco which has been contracted to manage the long distance calls of a number of major hotel companies. They mark up charges for long distance, collect and calling card calls while paying the hotels a comission based on call volume. I won't be rushing to switch wireless carriers as I'm sure that Globalive will figure out a hidden way to collect the revenue that my current carrier nickles and dimes me for.

beverly white is disgusted they made a woman search a purse for some change? it's going "too far"...? i think you missed the point of the ad...
