Joan Rivers is the new spokesperson for Shops at Don Mills at Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue in Toronto.
Each time I heard the ridiculous radio commercials promoting the local mall, I wondered what Shops at Don Mills was trying to say by using the comedian.
According to http://www.extremegroup.com/work/63, “If Joan Rivers thinks it’s fabulous, it must be.”
Does the average listener care what Joan Rivers has to say? Does the average person really believe because Joan Rivers thinks something is fabulous, it must be? Does the Extreme Group really believe because Joan Rivers thinks we should go to Shops at Don Mills at Lawrence, we will?
I find the commercials so stupid, I don’t want to set foot at the Shops at Don Mills. In fact, by using Joan Rivers as opposed to a Canadian celebrity, I don’t want to spend any of my money at Shops at Don Mills.
Note: No offence is meant to Joan Rivers. The photo has been taken from her website at http://www.joanrivers.com/

haha, your post cracked me up! (stopping by from SITS) I've always found Joan Rivers to be so over the top LOL - have a glorious day sweet bella
Hilarious. That's how I feel about most celebrities. I'm not going to get Wranglers because Brett Farve wears them.
Interesting that they'd think Canadians are so overwhelmed by Joan Rivers that they'd just blindly follow along with anything she says. I wonder why they wouldn't choose a Canadian celeb as well.
And no offense to Joan Rivers either. I think she's funny but still, she's not Canadian.
Cheers :-)

Hiring Joan Rivers as a spokesperson for The Shops at Don Mills is obviously an act of desperation on the part of management because nothing else has worked to attract customers.
She bugs me!
Lots of yummy love,

It is kinda stupid. And would put me off shopping there too!
She would actually have the opposite affect on me.
And that picture is So. Freakin. Scary. It could be one from a wax museum.
Interesting marketing! She's popular but does her style appeal to everyone?
This is funny. I can't get past her photo... Wow, that woman!
You are funny!
Found ya from SITS! :D
PS: Happy Thanksgiving!!
I wonder when that picture was taken. She doesn't look that soft anymore.
I agree with you too.
Unfortunately, the "majority listening to the commercial" would run, not walk to the Mall because Joan Rivers said it.
That's why...... they paid her to do the commercial.
We, are not the average person.
That's funny - and love your perspective because I'm the marketing manager for a shopping center in Myrtle Beach! We will not use a celebrity in our commercials ever now :)
