MTS Yeti



Manitoba Telecom Services Inc., or MTS, is the primary telecommunications carrier in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

They are using a yeti as a spokesperson to sell their mobile phones and mobile phone accessories.



As you can tell by this commercial, the yeti is a deliberate parody of Bumble from the Rudolph special.



The Canadians love affair with the yeti intensifies.

Perhaps, in the case of Manitoba, it is because the province is in the shape of a yeti's head in profile. Observe:



Is your state or province in the shape of a yeti? Write in and let me know!

Are you sure that isn't Itchy from the Star Wars Holiday Special?
