EvilMonkey Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I didn't see a thread on this so i'll throw it up here. The Blue Jays came up with humorous ad for Frank after airing once or twice it was pulled because...well...maybe you can tell me why it was pulled. I thought it was humorous....FT ad It's not like the commercial ends with the kid on the floor lying with him arm twisted at an impossible angle....again...i thought it was a good ad. They said it was too violent for the airwaves. Everyone knows....pillows don't hurt kids....people hurt kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Not covering your mouth while coughing could be seen as too violent in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The Mounties have surrounded Frank's house and threatened to take his 981 home runs (I believe that is what 488 is after translation to Canadian) away if he protests this decision.

greasywheels121 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 There's going to be a Frank Thomas pillow night in September for a Blue Jays game, in response to this ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Rumor has it that by July they expect to ban Frank from Canada all together for "baseball abuse." Edited April 11, 2007 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 No way could he really do that to a kid, it wasn't even a very good swing. It's obvious he's juicing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 At the end of the Ad isn't that Frank as a White Sox? Looks like they tried to digitally remove the logo off the helmet and jersey. I PROTEST THAT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
