Psst. For some people, masturbation counts as their peak sexual encounter. So probably more like 30 minutes ago.

I wonder how much that all cost to set up and do. Probably ends up being pretty cheap for the millions of views it will get on Youtube and the likely daytime news/morning show mentions and such. And I bet those people are pretty likely to fly WestJet next time they're booking their flight.

When you figure in the costs of hiring an ad agency to create one of the god awful commercials that airs all over TV and the internet, this was probably actually cheaper.

And this resonates much better with consumers than a traditional commercial. Plus many of the viewers will be from word of mouth or from friends sending it to them which gives the video much more influence over the viewer since it's coming from a trusted source.

This is Canada. Not sure that their civil suit laws are the same as our silly ones.

The McDonalds hot coffee incident was absolutely not a frivolous lawsuit.

Yeah, this. Please watch the documentary Hot Coffee which I believe is on Netflix, and realize how wrong you've always been about that, and other, "frivolous" lawsuits.
