That explains why Campbell lives there
You're not kidding. The guy is on almost every show. And every one of them is a sedative.
That explains why Campbell lives there
They cut the spanish "mexican" talking about carlos and pepe's because someone complained it was racist. To be fair they did put it on quite a bit.
Same thing with those godawful La Prep commercials about Napoleon. The accent isn't even french. The guy sounds like he's attempting a Scottish accent.
One of the most awfully produced commercials has to be their "Cablatel" spot. They only say the company's name in this electronically-synthesized voice, you can't readily make the name out. Comes across warbled, like "scharbashel". I can't believe the company agreed to that.
I heard it and was like how is this allowed on air, with those ridiculous fake Mexicans and especially without a license (I'm assuming) for that Cypress Hill song.They cut the spanish "mexican" talking about carlos and pepe's because someone complained it was racist.

The morning show nailed it this morning, saying what a number of us have been saying for a long time.
The root problem with the Habs is the organizational drafting and development record since a long, long time.
For the Habs to really progress, it has to get improve big time.
The players are certainly held to a standard of performance.This organization has been bottom 5 at developing players for a long time and nothing has happened. Honestly, 11M in cap space and they still cheap out on something that has no cap. Coaches and scouts.

Wasn't it Carlos and Pepe talking about their own restaurant?They cut the spanish "mexican" talking about carlos and pepe's because someone complained it was racist. To be fair they did put it on quite a bit.
Winning the Atlantic Division title 3 times and going to the conference finals once in the last 5 years meant the team drafted 25th or later in 4 of the past 5 years. That certainly makes the first round and 2nd round picks more of a hit and miss compared to teams picking top 10 and even 10-20, plus most of these 18-year olds need 3 years to develop.This organization has been bottom 5 at developing players for a long time and nothing has happened.

Imagine if it was really them (and their voices)
But honestly the ad was indeed dumb and was quite offensive
I highly doubt that since the owners of Carlos and Pepe's aren't named Carlos or Pepe and I know for certain they are not latino.
You are correct. A simple online search shows that it's a numbered corporation that is run by individuals of Greek origin. So much for that theory, lol.
I am correct because I know of the owners. My dad has had business dealings with them
There is no doubt about it, good Sir. They not only own it as a corporate name but have also registered it as a trade mark. They're heavily invested in the name, hence the radio ad bombardment.
It's a company called Foodtastic. They own Souvlaki Bar, C and P, Belle et la boeuf, Vinnie Gambini's and a few other brands. I am not 100 percent sure if they still do but they owned Moomba's in Laval. They also used to own Baton Rouge, Scores and Mike's but they sold it all about 10 years ago.
Foodstatic owns the trade mark. Not surprisingly, they run it as a franchise business.
Good on them, they've been good corporate citizens, contributing to a local sports station's bottom line.
Now if they could only use their advertiser influence to get the likes of Gallo fired, I will become a client.
Gallo should be easy enough. Campbell might be a little difficult seeing as they would have to find a replacement who can cover 24 hour shifts.
