    The “f” word is used liberally in this spot–however, the “f” stands for frozen. And it is bleeped out repeatedly, paradoxically proving that the deep freeze stigma doesn’t apply to the Knorr line of frozen foods.

        As we see beauty shots of fresh vegetables, herbs and grilled chicken–and a couple enjoying their “chef-inspired” meal–a voiceover relates that you wouldn’t expect to find these ingredients in a “f–” meal. Indeed Knorr Frozen Entrees are unlike “any f–” dinner you ever tried.”

        A super against a black backdrop reads, “‘Frozen’ doesn’t have to be a dirty word.” A product shot is accompanied by the slogan, “That little bit more. Knorr.”

        “Bad Word” was directed and shot by Kevan Bean of MacGuffin Film, New York, for DDB Canada, Toronto. Sam Wool produced for Bean.

        The DDB creative team consisted of creative directors Andrew Simon and William Hammond, copywriter David Ross, art director Paul Wallace, and producers Nan Mitchell and Marie-Pierre Toure.

        Editor was Brian Williams of Panic & Bob Editing, Toronto. Colorist was Bill Ferwerda of Notch, Toronto. Audio engineer/music track director was Tom Goudie of Pirate Radio & Television, Toronto.

        Principal actors were Nick Vavas and Dara Tomanovich.

    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    Saturday, November 23, 2024

    Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers, a British watchdog said Friday in a report that recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year.

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
