Belly flop

Koodo's El Tabador takes an unfortunate dive.

[iframe_youtube video=”kBvreKG30Xs”]
To promote that its calling area is Canada-wide – not restricted to particular areas of the country – Koodo decided to have its mascot, El Tabador, jump out of a plane, the idea being that he can land anywhere. At first it looks like he’s going to touch down somewhere very nice. Of course, things don’t go exactly as the tiny Mexican wrestler would have liked. He still gets coverage though. The spot was developed for the telco by Taxi.
