Copious amounts of Wonder Bread expected to be consumed this week, says Calgary Eyeopener team
After Naheed Nenshi smugly munched on a piece unbuttered Wonder Bread branded with the Vancouver Canucks logo, he uttered these three magical words:
"Vancouver? You're toast."
The idea to capture Calgary's mayor chomping down on our current hockey rivals all started with a really bad Christmas present.
"My mother didn't realize the toaster only branded one logo," said Dave Waddell, a technician for the Calgary Eyeopener.
That logo belonged to the Vancouver Canucks.
Waddell — who is a proud [ahem, shameless] Edmonton Oilers fan — didn't know what to do with what he describes as "the worst Christmas present ever."
So he brought it to work and added it to the Calgary Eyeopener "junk shrine," a place where every CBC employee is welcome to toss joke gifts and any unwanted things mailed to us from publicists.
Full disclosure: The Calgary Eyeopener junk shrine has never been dusted.
The video was a co-production between CBC Calgary's news department and morning show, and has been offered to the Flames.
