Bison... not just for dinner anymore

Recommended Posts

Culturally sensitive types may know the history of our aboiriginal peoples and how reliant they once were on the mighty Bison for food and fur. Well, some years ago the Manitoba Telecom System adopted this colourful fellow as their official spokesma..um spokes-beast? There have been various cutsie-kitchy commercials and print ads featuring 'Morty' and his pals but this one - on billboards all over town - just kicks ass.

I wonder how big the main is?

PS: The bison IS real ... and acually lives on a farm - in Saskatchewan. Not only that, apparently "Morty" is actually a female.

All the ads have featured the very same beast - all the goodies are photoshopped. The rig, in partcular, has some pretty weird looking "reserve flaps" making me think the photoshop might have been based on a velcro BASE rig. But meh, who cares about the little details?
