And The Winner of the Shiny Nickel Award Is....

The Shiny Nickel Award goes to Elizabeth Rennie.

Elizabeth, zeroing in on the clowns, identified the advertiser associated with the video posted yesterday.

She immediately recognized the advertiser as Philips TV, promoting the,"........ groundbreaking Cinema 21:9 LCD TV, the world’s first cinema proportioned television screen. I mean, come on, what else could clown-imagery represent?"

Yes, the clown imagery was a giveaway.

So, the coveted Shiny Nickel will soon be flying through the interdepartmental mail to Kamloops to our lucky winner, who has assured me that no computer resources were used in the winning of this award.

Um...that's right, no computer resources were used; my win is legitimate and research-free. I'm just so attuned to clown imagery that I was able to pull the exact product details from the particular shade of red of the bulbous nose. Or from somewhere.

A reformed coulrophobic (but, uh, not a coulrophiliac, because that just brings up inappropriate search results),

I'm just going to accept that coulrophobics are afraid of clowns without bothering to look it up.

Just the kind of attitude that probably bothers librarians. You know, biblioaggravation.
