Rogers communications is suing their competitor Bell Mobility in Canada over ads that "disparage, denigrate, discredit, tarnish, diminish, and otherwise depreciate" its brand.  The cool thing is that the ads are done in animated pixel style!

Here's an article and here's the 'offensive' ad.

Who knew cartoons could be so upsetting?

A while back I sent in a link to a story about rogers communication suing bell canada over their animated pixel cheetah and hare tv ad.  I just found an online gallery of those bell pixel ads with links to quicktime video versions that might interest the pixel-oriented.  I like the pixel style and some of these commercials are pretty funny too:

As far as I know Bell Canada is no longer showing these pixel ads on tv.

PB Edit: These ads were pixelled by the talented Trevor Van Meter
PB Edit #2: My bad... Trevor only work on a certain portion. See n.alien's comment below
