CBC News Feature - Abalon Winnipeg's Terrible Commercial

Abalon Winnipeg's television advertising campaign in the mid 1980's had enough impact to warrant a feature news article on CBC's 24 Hours news program. Some people loved it and others hated it. To this day many people can still remember our theme song.

24Hours was a well-loved program that I watched during my teenage years. Miss it much.

How come we don't have charactors like this anymore?

Seriously? We used to sing along with this when we were kids! :)
Just funny!

ABALON fixed my foundation problem in 2006, the salesman was a young man , I only remember his last name, Nelson.
