Tour guides really hate insurance agents
Having worked in both journalism and advertising, I'm always morbidly glad to see another industry despised to the point of death threats. And this time, it's not even the lawyers. This well-done spot by Taxi Toronto and Untitled Films is part of a campaign for Canada's Aviva Insurance. There's also a safari-themed installment, although it lacks the nonsensical hilarity of a scuba tour guide who brings a bucket of chum along for the ride. Hat tip to Charlotte Riley on Twitter.
