I realize I've been lacking in the updates lately so it's another double shot day! My second piece about fat people is below this one.
Anyway, I felt the need to write about the two most annoying commercial voices we continuously got making appearances in Toronto. Somebody needs to get these people off the radio. Like immediately.
Sean Jones
If you don't know this guy by name, he's the annoying Spence Diamonds guy. The first thing he needs to do is take the enthusiasm knob that he's got cranked to 11 and dial it back a few points. I've heard his commercials. I get it. He's got jewellry at good prices. Stop reading ever sentence like it's the most mind-blowing news ever. Until Sean Jones came along I didn't believe overarticulation was a problem on radio.
And what's with the random sound effects? It's like he realized that his voice alone probably wasn't going to get his full potential clientele into his store but he was completely out of creative energy. "Fuck...I don't know...(whewwwww)...let's just, for no particular reason, add in sound effects that only children and morons would find funny."
I swear if I hear "WAAAOOOWW!!" one more time I'm going to start ramming other vehicles on the road. There has never been a more out of place sound effect in any other commercial ever. It's a damn jewellry store, not a Bud Light commercial. Even in a beer commercial that sound effect would be puke-inducing. Get the fuck off my radio.
Saul Korman
To illustrate my point with the man from Korry's Clothiers, I thoughtit would be appropriate to write a Korry's ad in mad lib form:
"Saaauul Korman here for Korry's Clothiers, 569 Danforth. Let me tell you we've got _________(adjective) suits from _______(plug), _______(plug), and ________(plug). And I know this because last week ____________________________________________ (boring story about his partners in the biz). And also, _________________(plug). So when you come to Korry's don't forget to check out _______________(plug). And I almost forgot, _____________(plug). Just wanted to say, ______________(irrelevant crap that applies to only to three people who probably aren't even fucking listening anyway). And before I go I need to mention __________(plug). Korry's, in the ______(body part) of Greektown, at 569 Danforth."
Saul Korman seems like a guy who has too much money and his guilty pleasure is to spend it on meaningless crap just for kicks. His commercials make me imagine a guy sitting around a big table with all of his business associates drinking scotches. It's been a good night, Saul's getting a littly jolly, and he tells everyone to shut up for s second and listen.
"As you all know, I've got a great deal of money. I've been running over this idea in my head for a couple of weeks now. I'm going to buy airtime on the radio. I'll say some stuff, but mostly I'M GOING TO MENTION ALL OF YOU GUYS!! IN EVERY FUCKING DAILY AD! NO WAY, I KNOW!
Ahem...now obviously I want to get word out about my store and all that crap....but mainly....I'M GOING TO SAY YOUR NAMES! ON THE RADIO! WE CAN ALL LISTEN AND REACT ACCORDINGLY WHEN WE HEAR THEM!
Ahem....now obviously we don't want normal listeners to think we're just a bunch of jerks with egos so we'll say some good crap about the store...I guess...but OH MAN! HOW WICKED WOULD IT BE IF I JUST PLUGGED YOUR GUYS' SHIT?! THIS IS FOR US, FELLAS! WE ARE ALL SUCH GREAT FRIENDS AND I HAVE SO MUCH MONEY! I SHALL BUY A ROLLER COASTER!"
On the bright side, at least he's not so much of an asshole that he refers to himself as "Korry" in his spots. Either way, get the fuck off my radio.
I have to listen to Sean Jones on almost EVERY radio station here in the Metro Vancouver area. His voice makes me want to gouge out my own ears with a rusty fork! And, not that I am a homophobe but what the hell does Sean know about what a woman wants to get??? When was the last time he bought a woman ANYTHING as a gift? It's like asking Lindsay Lohan advice on how to beat a drinking and driving rap! He really needs to hire a woman to read his ads to tell us "men" what woman like and where to get it. If you read Mens Health, it's men asking woman advice on what they want. But seriously, I am sure that Sean is trying to save a buck (aren't we all) by making the ads himself. And good luck trying to convince a guy who likes other guys to "tone it down" a notch. Are we talking about turning down the "flame" factor? When you ask him to "Stop reading ever sentence like it's the most mind-blowing news ever" It's not your mind he's thinking about blowing. That's just my opinion but Sean ranks up there with the likes of Jonathan Carral of iTravel2000 dot com and Joel Matlin of Alarm Force when it comes to the "I'm turning my radio off NOW" action.
ReplyDeleteSpence Diamonds review:
DeleteSmartest thing you can do is take all the experience and knowledge you get from spence and take it to your local jeweller so you don't get screwed over.
I had a custom engagement ring/wedding band done at Crowley's here in edmonton. We spent a couple of afternoons in Spence narrowing down styles and getting every bit of info about the type and quality of diamond we wanted. Then we went back to crowleys with photos, sketches and a list of specs for the diamond. We custom ordered a certified stone in, and had both rings custom made by the in house jeweller.
Final cost was about HALF of what Spence had quoted.
So for all you who like to pay 'a little more' at Spence, realize you are probably paying 'a lot more'.
That commercial alone makes me never wanna go to Spence. Where'd they find that stupid guy?
Can't stand the daily pain of hearing either Sean Jones or Saul Korman on Toronto radio anymore. These guys, and their ads, make me want to take my own life rather than endure another "Spenth Diamonds" ad or another nonsensical, pointless, senile rant from "Saaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuul Korman". These two must think they are wonderful and that everyone else wants to listen to their lispy feminized voice or self-absorbed name-dropping ad's...........If I ever go to one of their stores it will simply be to tell them on behalf of millions of listeners that I'd never buy one cent of merchandise in either of their businesses and that their ads make me want to gouge my eyes out.
ReplyDeleteHis radio ads are the reason i will 'never' shop at his store...
ReplyDeleteOMG! I thought I was the only one that felt this way!
ReplyDeleteTheir voices are like finger nails on the chalkboard!
When I hear their voices i want to take an icepick and and stab my ear drums out!
I will NEVER allow anyone I know to shop at Korry's or Spence Diamonds
I'll never shop at either at those locations.
ReplyDeleteEver.
Sean Jones makes me want to hammer a chisel up my nose just to kill the pain.
ReplyDeleteI actually want to thank Mr.(Ms?) Jones for his/her advertising. Don't get me wrong, I hate his adds, his Carol Channing Voice and the the cat torture sounds as much as anyone. I strike out and punch any available button on whichever radio I am listening to the moment one of those abominations come on the air. One day however, I must have hit seek and found that I receive a station originating in Belliigham WA that comes in quite clearly. So as not to risk any further frustration with Spence's garbage, I don't listen to anymore Vancouver AM talk radio broadcasts (boring anyway). If he opens up and starts advertising across the line, I may have to spring for satellite radio, or just stop listeneing all together.
ReplyDeleteim not a violent person, but Sean Jones is a guy who i would love to karate chop in the vocal cords so he could never do his woo scream again
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I am so glad I came across this site. I have tears from laughing so hard at the comments. I listen to my fave radio station online while at work but man oh man I'm ready to call it quits because of Spence Diamonds. They seem to have bought way more airtime as Christmas is approaching, so every 15 minutes or so I get to hear this particular inane banter: "my favourite is snuggles" "that makes sense" "Why?" "It just does." "Why do I put up with you?" "You know, I've never really been sure". I now rip my earbuds out at lightening speed; I just can't take it anymore. WOOOOOOOOO!!
ReplyDeleteSaul Korman is a treat compared to Tom Mihalik. Sean Jones takes the cake though. Clearly, this form of advertising works. I literally have to turn off the radio when these guys come on.
ReplyDeleteTom Mihalik is trying to do a take on Saul Korman, but just doesn't know how to do it. When I hear him on am640, i cringe and change the station
DeleteGreat Read!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI too change the radio station or turn it off as soon as a Spence / Sean Jones ad comes on. I do not know one person that can stand it (except for Sean Jones) but someone must be buying into it. Not me! I would pay more to shop elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteSarah is the best because she gets belittled and made to look like a dummy in every ad and she doesn't even know it, hahaha. Jones needs to go for a walk in the Melvern area of Scarborough carrying lots of cash and a sign stating he's carrying the cash.
ReplyDeleteI find it funny when Sean Jones talks about buying for his special girl.......who does he think he's kidding this guy is queer as a 3 dollar bill.
ReplyDeleteSean Jones has hit a new low, now they are suggesting that a woman doesn't need a man to pick out her engagement ring....this guy is in transactional marriage business. Spense Diamond...the perfect store to find a ring for that not so special someone.
ReplyDeleteJ.F.B!!! (Just Fuck'n Beauti) Great rant...so true. I so want to reach through my radio and chock the ever lov'n shit out of that frigin guy...as for Saul SHUT UP!!! We don't care...for the love of god get a professional to write your ads!!! My band is playing next week can you tell Toronto, if I come and tell you when and where.
ReplyDeleteIts worse for me, I tremble and vibrate. I want to beat Sean Jones with something irregular shaped like a camshaft from a car motor until his brains and skull are all over the place and keep swinging until I see sparks. Ha Sparks Diamonds, that cheers me up. This would be my dying wish.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I thought I was the only one...
DeleteThat would be BEAUTIFUL.
DeleteSparks Diamonds splatter.
One last WoW and then whack......
These Spence Diamonds commercials need to stop.
So I been hearing all these wonderful non stop radio ads from Saul Coma and Korrys hugo canelli suits 2 for 5. I wasn't feeling well sick with diarrhea and pooped in my underwear... so I went down to Greektown to try on some suits
ReplyDeleteSaul Korman at Koreys 569 Danforth. I know my fans love my commercials and some of you think I am just another yiddish 2 bit rag schlepper,
ReplyDeletebut when I hear myself on the radio I feel like a movie star. Mention this add and get 10% off on some Hugo Boss or Cannelli underwear. And when you are in Kesington Market visit my friend Tom Malhaloic the alcholholic from Tom's Place
Hi there, Saul Korman, Koreys 569 Danforth.
ReplyDeleteYes I have been here for 62 years in the heart of greektown. Yes my friend Jack Berkovitz from Omni Jewelcrafters sells his crap on the sidewalk outside my store. But we are making money and having fun. Everything is now 50% off.
There's a reason for all my radio commercials. I'm loosing my marbles and forget where I live sometimes so I just turn on the radio and hear Saul Korman, Koreys 569 Danforth
I keep the mute control nearby. The alternative is being physically sick. Both should be jailed for noise pollution.
ReplyDeletehahahaha! Great comments on here. I thought I was the only one who looaathed these ads. It's bad enough when Saul rambles about his store, but when he starts yapping about his vacations and friends, and friend's businesses, I wanna scream. This morning I heard his son doing the ad, and wondered if the old guy is okay. He might be a nice man and respected in his field, but those radio ads gotta go!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Saul Korman and his A-Hole commercials is still alive and well and polluting the radio waves. He just goes on vacay to St. Maarten once in awhile and gets a free hamburger dinner and 25% off air fare for promoting these joints. Actually I hear his annoying voice and crappy Roberto label a lot less these days, so maybe he's reading this blog
ReplyDeleteThank you for the good laugh. Like everyone here, I simply could not stand the spence diamond shrieking dude or whatever it was. What the hell were they thinking that his voice and scream would make couple rushing to get their jewellry?! The commercials seems like in every radio in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteI agree, that shriek sound "WAAAOOOWW!!" at the end of the commercial is so annoying. I turn off the radio when that commercial comes on. It is so out of place, it just pops out of nowhere. I will never buy anything at their store.
DeleteCalm down.
ReplyDeleteI have no words to express how annoyed I am at Mr. Jones. That primordial scream is clear body-language for: "I can do whatever I want, because I'm the owner, and I don't care how anyone feels about it."
ReplyDeleteHe disappeared from my favorite radio station shortly after I emailed them, saying the more of his commercials they run, the less I'll be listening to their station. I'm glad if I helped.
In Calgary, so I am not familiar with the Korrie Clothiers guy (thankfully), but the Spence Diamonds guy and the IKEA guy are two voices which test my reaction time to get to the channel button or ON/OFF button. Blech!
ReplyDeleteYes, Yes, the IKEA guy... It took a long time for someone to mention him. I agree, I cringe when I hear him barf his BS. I understand that he is a friend of Saul as well...
DeleteI agree. Saul Korman is an insane loon.
ReplyDeleteI don't care if he is selling Canali suits for $5 a piece.
When i hear a spence comercial my payback is phone the calgary store and leave a loud blood curdling scream. I encourage eveyone to do it!
ReplyDeleteI'll even make this easy!

Your radio commercials on CFRB sound like

I would rather go naked than buy any clothing in your store
PLEASE get Mr. Screamy OFF the air! I can't stomach it. I'm down to crying. I just drop off to a beautiful sleep, and there's that "jack" *** of a person (Saul Korman) screaming his face off before I can react and turn the radio off. If I hear it one more time, I'm done. I left 1010 because of this deluded self-promoter's screaming, and it looks like 640 is next. See ya Bill!
ReplyDeleteSaul Korman - Koreys Greektown 569 Danforth.
ReplyDeleteWell let me tell you, we had a great big Xmas / Hunaka Sale and cleared out most of the merchandise so instead of going to St. Maarten for my regular vacation I am holidaying in Wasaga Beach Ontario. Yes it's cold here in the winter and not many tourists, but there is no line up at the liquor store and Cannelli bathing suits are only $2, so I am stocking up for our spring & summer sale. We are so ready, we have all the latest speedos. Come see me wearing them in my office. Better call Saul. Saul Korman Koreys 569 Danforth

Spence diamonds received so many complaints about the scream that they put up a vote on their website and the "Get rid of the scream" won. The next few ads ran without the scream but that was short lived. Within a few weeks they invented a request from one idiot that missed the scream so they ignored the majority and put it back into the commercials.
ReplyDeleteI will never buy anything from this company.

Open Letter: To Sean Jones @ Spence Diamonds.
ReplyDeleteI don't care that your screaming commercials are targeted to the gay audience. Everybody else hates it. I don't know why anyone would find it amusing

Man you ppl are losers.
ReplyDeleteSaul Korman is a smart, successful businessman. He gives props and plugs to merchants that don't have the budget to buy radio spots... and you losers trash him for his benevolence. Wow.
Saul should thank you losers bc people of means like to stick it to haters.
The point, you guys slagging Saul is reason enough for me to go spend some dollars in his store... just to help Saul be that much more successful - not bc my bf needs another suit.
- Message to Saul (yeah I know Saul will never read this bc he wouldn't waste a second of his productive life noticing your meager existence ... BUT if he did, he would probably try and help you, not scorn you... that's my job). So, Saul I'm coming in to buy something for my man (George Haye) Probably a Roberto suit and shirt.... WHY bc it is your own line and I want to support success.
These little losers gripe and cry bc they have too much time in their tiny little insignificant, unproductive lives. They also hide behind their masked i.p.'s.
(I'm actually surprised that they took time away from downloading gay porn to spin up a free blogger site and then post vitriol.)
Go Saul Go, and some tips for you hater-losers who barely eek out an existence...
1. pull up your pants;
2. ash your semen drenched hands;
3. find a girlfriend;
4. get laid;
5. buy some new pants (bc the ones around your ankles are all stained)
To Darlene Dresden.
DeleteI understand your loyalty to your boss, but that said, Saul Korman of Koreys Clothiers would PLUG anyone or anything that spends 2 bucks in his store because he has too much money to spend on radio advertisements. Maybe Bell Media (CFRB 1010) should raise the price for this crap as they are loosing listeners. I turn off the radio and sometimes forget to turn it back on for an hour or so. Therefore other advertisers like faggot Spence Diamonds has fewer listeners
Saaauuuul Korman Korry's 5_6_9 Danforth.
DeleteI have always admired people who win Gold Platinum Records, The Oscar's, The Tony's, Best Actor Awards etc.
and they get up on stage wearing a Caneli suit on Sale 2 for $5.
When you come into my office at 5_6_9 Danforth you can see all the Awards I've won over the years.
I've gotten Awards from all the radio stations in Toronto for the most advertising.
I've also got Awards from many businesses on the Danforth for promoting and plugging their shit.
Even the St. Maarten Tourism Department honoured me with an Award and free airfare for promoting this shithole.
Tourism is up a whopping 2%. Business is so Hot, I might have to get air conditioning in the store.
If you have an A/C company and wanna get Plugged, call me.
Korry's Greektown 5_6_9 Danforth
To, Saul Korman President of Korry's 569 Danforth. You R A INSANE LOON. How can you compare your paid for awards to the Oscars or any other awards in the music and film industry. R U out of your mind??? The radio stations and business associations are giving you awards for spending your money on advertisements that most people hate. Nobody gives a shit if you have Caneli's on sale. Give your head a shake you fucking loon. Get help. Donate your excess money to the mental hospital, maybe they will name a wing after you. That would be a Real Award and Honour.

I've heard all these stupid commercials for Spence Diamonds but I needed a cheap $50 ring for this girl I was dating so I went to the Mississauga Square One store. I'm looking at all the rings then all of a sudden I'm surrounded by all their homosexual staff screaming WoW as they start grabbing at my family jewels. I got the fuck out of there. I didn't know this was a gay business and I've seen better quality at the local dollar store. They should mention in their radio ads that it's a gay store
ReplyDeleteIn Celebration of all the local gay parades around the country Spence diamonds is having their annual Gay Pride Sale.
ReplyDeleteGet 25% off with promo code "vasalineo" in store or online. WooooW
Hey Darlene Dresden go fuck your self you nasty bitch
ReplyDeleteSpence Diamonds Scarborough Town Center is celebrating Toronto’s Gay Pride Month. It is an arts and culture festival that celebrates diverse sexual and gender identities, and the lives of Toronto’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, queer and questioning communities.
ReplyDeleteAll our washrooms are transgender with a great selection of lube and condoms for a great Spence Diamonds experience. WOW
Whether you want to purchase a gift for your lover or friend, Spence Diamonds will make your partner scream WoW and want more.
There is another voice on a commercial here in Toronto that I just hate. Rosanna Magnotta. Her voice is one of the most annoying I have ever heard. It is so nasal and she whines through the entire commercial. I used to buy their wine but now I cant even bring myself to go to the store because of her voice. And Saul Korman is a jerk. I emailed him several times to get him to stop selling those death coats by Canada Goose because they have coyote fur on them. He never even had the respect or decency to respond. I would never buy anything from him.
ReplyDeleteIm from out of town visiting gay pride celebration Toronto. Hear people at bath house talking about gloryhole blo & go at spence diamonds bathroom, will chek it out. I want som wow
ReplyDeleteSaaaul Korman, Koreys, Five Six Nine Danforth.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing myself on the radio, it's a movie star ego thing you wouldn't understand.
One day while I was renovating my store with goose feathers,
a neighbouring store owner, I think it was Tom Mahalik (Tom's Place) or some other nutbar,
came over and told me renovate or halucinate or something like that I can't remember.
I'm 82 years old and had a few bumps on the road fell off the wagon a few times
but I'm going to rehab and discounting everything in the store,
Canneli, Hugo Boss, Roberto, Lulu Lemon hot yoga pants. Anything U want is on sale.
Some of my friends have asked: "Saul, The Great Korey, how do you come up with all these wonderful whitty comercials
I hear on the radio everyday".
Well, I tell them, I come to work everyday, drink a few bottles of wine,
plug the microphone into the Karoke machine, and the magic just happens.
Koreys ... Greektown .... 2 for 5.... 5-6-9 Danforth
Whenever I come to Toronto, I take the grandkids to see The Great Korry singing and dancing in the store window with his karaoke machine. I heard that before he opened his store he was a magician or clown or something working the carnival circuit.
DeleteMy grandmother remembers Saul The Great Korry when he was working the games at the CNE Midway long time ago. 25 cents each - 3 for a dollar, win a prize everytime.

Spence Diamonds has an amazing selection of Cock + Ball Rings and better prices than in the gay village.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching gay porn all night my BF took me to Spence Diamonds to get some cock rings. Great staff, great selection and they let you try before you buy.
DeleteMy boyfriend got the Screaming Cannonball Cock Ring and I got the Spence Steel Eagle Cock Ring with Diamond Studs. We had a coupon for 25% off so it was $75 total for 2 cock rings. Their radio commercials might be annoying but they have the best value for cock rings and other sex toys
It doesn't matter whether you like or don't like Spence Diamond commercials. The Gay community needs to support LGBT businesses. Tomorrow I will be going to the Spence Diamonds store in Scarborough Town Centre and buy my boyfriend a Screaming Eagle Anal Pounder Cock Ring
DeleteI don't know why Sean Jones - Spence Diamonds plays these irritating commercials so many times everyday. I change the channel before the WoW scream at the end.
ReplyDeleteBut they do have beautiful custom made cock rings at affordable prices. The staff are LGBT and let you try on the cock rings. Nice gay friendly atmosphere with Elton John music blasting from the speakers throughout the showroom. The washrooms are decorated with gay rainbow flags and great for cruising. I seen a few hot twink ladyboys hanging out there. Most of them are looking for straight guys shopping with their GF that just want a quick blow job.

Oh My God!!! Where has this Blog been all my life? I have suffered in misery for years over having to listen to these two dickwads and their radio ads.
ReplyDeleteI've complained endlessly to my unconcerned wife about how annoying these two and their ads are.
My faith in humanity has been somewhat restored.
IF you are going to advertise on radio, you'd best be sure your voice is not an enraging irritant. A grating voice will outweigh a good business deal. That said, I have identified an annoying radio voice that surpasses anything Sean and Saul are capable of. The loathsome grating of the person that does the "Texture by next issue" commercials inspires me to practice surgical skills - on his voice box, with dull instruments. Are the joint owners (Condé Nast, Hearst, Meredith, News Corp., Rogers Communications, and Time Inc.) incapable of making a better choice for a spokesperson?
ReplyDeleteI have stopped listening to Newstalk 1010 because of these over-the-top irritating commercials by egotistic cockroaches intent on driving the listening audience nuts with their numerous insane ravings about their business.
ReplyDeleteI would never buy anything in your store. I would only go there to shit in your mouth and hope you choke on it. No more insane commercials.
Saaaaul Korman Korrys 5.6.9. Danforth.
ReplyDeleteWell everybody in Greektown is getting ready for Taste Of The Danforth, Aug 5 - 7.

We need more employees to handle the crowds.
We pay well, $11.50 plus commish.
The more you sell the more money we have for radio advertisements.
So if you want to learn the business, Call Saul.
The stores on the Danforth are so great!!!!
When I wake up in the morning I go to Jim Hortons for my free coffee and donut (plug) then for lunch I stop in at McDougals (plug) for my free Happy Meal with a free toy. For supper I go to some Greek pizza joint nearby (plug) they put souvalki on the pizza and it tastes like shit but I eat it anyways because it's free.
Korrys greektown 5-6-9 Danforth,
As soon as I hear Shit Jones' voice on the radio, I change the station! Do radio station executives not realize Jones' voice is pissing listeners off and making them change the station?? Sometimes I don't change the station back for days.
ReplyDeleteSaaauul Korman, Koreys.
ReplyDeleteWhen you come into our store at 5.6.9 Danforth, you will see all our Sale merchandise.
Stuff with rips and stains defective stitching, refurbished Hugo's Canneli's etc.
Then our tailors Roberto and Lulu will take you in the back room and measure your wallet to get you the perfect suit for weddings, graduations, business meetings, working on the car, chores around the house or just hanging out at the beach in St. Marten.
Business is so good from radio advertising, we need more people.
If you need a job call Saul.
If you know how to do facebook, twitter, or other social media crap
and you want to learn the business,
better call Saul.
Business is so hot.
Koreys Greektown 5-6-9 Danforth
Saul rarely does the commercials now. His son, Shawn, does them. I think he should fire that Shawn and hire the other Sean. I can hear it now "Canelli and Copley suits on sale. WOOOOOOO!"
ReplyDeleteI heard an ad on the radio that Spence Diamonds is hiring sales people.
ReplyDeleteSays $85,000 / year. Not bad.
So I did a little research checking reviews from former Spence Diamond employees.
"Sales culture is terrible, most new hires last less then 4 weeks. Must memorize a 8 page sales script word for word. Second week on full budget, third week on warning for not making budget. Fourth week gone,please don't leave a job do go there on a pipe dream to make six figures"
"According to the Better Business Bureau, Spence Diamonds gets more complaints than any other diamond retailer in B.C."
I find CEO Sean Jones is sooooo sexi and I would love to work in gay enviroment and need money for a sex change operation. I'm not sure if this is for me.
Any advice would be appreciated.
If your gay and find Sean Jones attractive & sexi and need money for a sex change..... I'm not sure what sex you are changing to, but I'm sure you will like working at Spence Diamonds. Go Now. This is definitely the place for you.
DeleteI think we can all agree that the Sean Jones Spence Diamonds commercials must appeal to someone listening.
DeleteI'm guessing morons and idiots find the WooW Scream amusing and they feel comfortable going into the store. Thats when the Sales Robots programed with 8 pages of sales pitch reel you in like a fish on a hook. No matter what you say their job is to sell you a ring with the biggest commision. Your in Love. Don't worry we have time payments, this ring will last forever etc.
Maybe Sean Jones could read the 8 page sales script on the radio
instead of just screaming WooW like a screwball
A Spence Diamond is like an investment.
DeleteIf you ever need money to pay your hydro bill or buy groceries, Russel Oliver (The Cash Man) will buy your ring for a fraction of the price and give you Cash oh yeah. He buys old broken gold and diamonds he will even buy your gold teeth, oh yeah.
Sauuuuuul Korman, Korrys.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you, Tom Mihalik is a nutjob. Just listen to his stupid commercials on the radio everyday.
It sounds like his mouth is filled with shit and he has trouble swallowing it all.
He comes into my store at 5_6_9 Danforth wearing a disguise and a cheap suit he found in a Goodwill donation box.
Then he tries to lowball me on Canneli suits, the best value, which are on sale 2 for $5 or 3 for $7.98,
so he can sell them in his store Toms Place in Kesington Market at $5 each.
One time he tried to trade me some Matzah balls for a Coppley suit we had on sale $299
I get my tailors Roberto & Lulu to throw the fucker out head first onto Danforth Ave.
He goes away then comes back a few days later and tries again.
Business is so Hot, we need bouncers at the door to control the crowds.
Need a job call Saul
GO FUCK YOURSELF SEAN JONES! I WOULD LOVE TO ASS FUCK YOU!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDunnville Secondary School English teacher Jennifer Elizabeth Green-Johnson allegedly told a student: “Why don’t you lick me where I fart.” after hearing a Spence Diamonds commercial where Sean Jones says Fuck me where I fart. WoooooW
ReplyDeleteSaaauuul Korman, Korry's 5_6_9 Danforth. Everything is on SALE Caneli Coppley Hugo Boss, Roberto, Lulu
ReplyDeleteBusiness is so Hot. We want your business but more importantly we want your money.
I'll pick you up by the ankles and shake you upside down till all the money falls out. Suits start at $299 on the rack,
and 2 for $5 off the rack wrinkled on the floor.
Mix and Match Sale on Now. 2 for $5.
Korry's 5_6_9 Danforth Greektown
Saul Korman's Korry's commercials might be somewhat annoying, but he has cut back on advertising big time. I only hear him once or twice a day lately.
ReplyDeleteSpence Diamonds commercials are non stop.
I hate Spence Diamonds like the plague.
I needed some suits for my new job, business meetings etc. Went to Korry's Clothiers at 569 Danforth because I didn't know where else to go. I was treated very well by the staff, and got the Caneli's
2 for 5 special tailoring inclusive. Best value anywhere in the country they said.
I wanted to meet Saul Korman the president but he was busy in the recording studio.
This is a good place to shop when you are on a budget and the mix and match specials are unbelievable. Coppley, Caneli, Roberto, Hugo Boss. You can have a great wardrobe for peanuts.
They are so hungry for money,you can lowball them, they will take what ever you offer. It's like being at a flea market.
If the salesman says a Coppley suit is $299 just offer $250. They will take your offer 9 times out of 10. Fun place to shop.
Long story short.
ReplyDeleteI needed a suit for a wedding.
Korry's Clothiers 569 Danforth was sold out of my size the Canali's 2 for 5 deal. Business was so hot I guess.
I listen to CFRB Newstalk 1010 all day, so the only other place that I know of in Toronto that sells suits is Tom's Place 190 Baldwin st. in Kensington Market.
These 2 loons advertise their suits all day everyday.
Kensington Market is a place where you could go to buy live chickens and goats, fish etc. Not the place that you would want to buy a designer suit. But things are changing down there.
It is still a flea market atmosphere with some trendy shops and restaurants mixed in.
I go into Tom's Place and Tom is there eating a wiener schnitzel with mustard dripping all over his suit, that he says he has worn everyday for 3 years, he doesn't give a shit, business comes first. No time for lunch with too many customers in the store, just me, I don't see any other customers unless they are invisible Pokemon's, maybe.
He puts the schnitzel in his pocket, wipes his hands on his pants and shows me some suits.
He wanted $299 for some Canali knock-off, I offered him $100 cash.
He grabbed the money so fast that he almost ripped my arm off.
This schmuck is hungry and needs money to pay for those ads.
Good deals at Tom's Place
To all my fans in radioland that love hearing my commercials on CFRB 1010 every morning Mon to Fri at 7:38am. I need your business and I need your money to continue. I talk about all the latest news in Kensington Market, the Blue Jays the latest fashions on sale in my store and much more.
ReplyDeleteI get so hungry waiting for customers to come into my store at 190 Baldwin St. Kensington Market that I just need a wiener in my mouth. I like having a big juicy wiener in my mouth when I'm hungry. Kensington Market is the best place to get wiener. Come to Tom's Place at 190 Baldwin St. to see me with a wiener
I want to thank all my fans listening to my radio commercials and their continued support for Tom's Place, 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market. The response has been overwhelming. Most of our designer suits are sold out.
ReplyDeleteBut we will have more stock in time for this years Hadassah Bazaar in Kensington Market.
Everything will be on sale.
After hearing all your feedback,
I am pleased to announce the Grand Opening of a new wiener restaurant in my store.
The Hungry Schmuck Wiener Grill at 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market.
Now you can have a big juicy wiener in your mouth while shopping at Tom's Place.
It dosen't get any better than this.
Shop at Tom's Place. Thankyou
I worked at Spence Diamonds for awhile. They're actually really really proud of the ads and they definitely drove people through the doors. The diamond education is kinda neat as well. If nothing else at least go there to learn a little something first so you maybe have a slight idea about what to look for, even if you don't buy from them. Take advantage of their time and get educated. They're very pushy though.
ReplyDeleteYou just didn't notice it. First they pushed you into a single style choice. Easy tricks like hiding both and showing them suddenly them asking first instinct. Or putting them on a couple of the girls up front to make you choose.
Then they get you in the office. Do the scripted presentation and finish with "how would you like to leave your deposit?" If you refuse they will ask you why but they will just word your objection as a question. "I just want to look around" "what are you hoping to find by looking around?"
When the Spence Diamond sales rep (reading from the script) says:
Delete"how would you like to leave your deposit?"
just pull down your pants and shit on the floor. and say:

Having worked for Spence Diamonds here is my review.
ReplyDeleteMany employees are making minimum wage and there is high turn over burn and churn enviroment. Some successful sales people are making 6 figures.
You have to memorize 8 pages of sales script word for word.
The SCRIPT is designed to sell the customer on lower quality diamonds for higher prices.
If you can't cut it, you're gone
When i hear a spence comercial my payback is phone the calgary store and leave a loud blood curdling scream. I encourage eveyone to do it!

I sit in my store listening to the radio all day waiting for my commercials to come on about the sales at Tom's Place 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market, but they keep talking about the US election. Trump, Hiliary Clinton and Anthony Weiner.
ReplyDeleteI get so hungry everytime they mention Wiener.
I like having a big juicy weiner in my mouth and licking it until the schnitzel squirts out.
When you come to Tom's Place we don't talk about politics, we only talk about suits and wiener.
Come to Tom's Place. Thank you
A radio station having a contest offering $25,000 free advertisements .... hmmmm like a crack dealer offering free samples to get you hooked.
ReplyDeleteAfter you hear yourself talking on the radio, you think you are a celebrity or movie star and you need to hear yourself everyday. Your Hooked. I'm guessing that these loons tried calling in to many talk shows and the host always hangs up on them, because they are loons. So they have to buy airtime to make people in radioland listen to their insane ravings. Then they feel like a somebody
Hello to all my friends in radioland. The US election is finally over and I called Donald Trump to offer my congratulations and a good deal on some of our fabulous suits made right here in Kensington Market. He hung up on me before I could give him the address. 190 Baldwin St.
ReplyDeleteThen I called Hillary Clinton to offer my condolences and a free wiener for 2nd place on the Gong Show. She told me to fuck off and hung up too.
Shop at Tom's Place thank you
Hello to all my fans in Radioland.
DeleteI was so sad to hear of Fidel Castro's death that I immediately called the family in Cuba to offer them a good deal on a suit for the funeral. I told them we still had some suits on sale from our Black Friday Special at Tom"s Place 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market.
They called me an insane loon and told me to fuck off.
Their loss your gain. Shop at Tom's Place
Spence Diamonds review.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Mississauga store. After talking to the sales lady we got down to pricing. When I told her my max was $2000 she immediately got very rude with me. Saying things like "the rings she'll really appreciate start at over $5000, for your budget I don't think you'll find anything nice at all"
Spence Diamond review:
DeleteI'm guessing a $5,000 ring purchased from Spence Diamonds is only worth $2,000 plus $3,000 advertising fees.
WooooooooooooooW
OH man, someone selling $5,000+ rings and makes up their own grading system. That's killer. Run, run fast, run far.
DeleteThe whole diamond stick is crazy. If you don't put yourself severly in debt, you aren't a man... blah, blah, blah. Can't believe I have managed to stay married for 21 years and I gave my wife a sapphire engagement ring! There are other pretty rocks out there, you don't need to conform, and please don't apologize because you are "only" spending $2,000. To many jewelers have the guilt trip thing down to a science.
Spence Diamond Review
DeleteI recently went to Spence Diamonds in Vancouver last week.
Pushy Sales Reps
I was constantly urged to narrow on a design with the sales guy beside me the whole time. He's like, is your gf short or tall? Then I was asked if she would like lots of diamonds or just one diamond, then I was asked how much I was going to spend and if I liked to get fucked in the ass. I just wanted to be left alone and browse...OMG!
Then once I had my hands on a ring, I was urged to follow him on a quick presentation. The whole time I was sitting there, he kept 'babbling' away and blowing kisses at me which I suspect is a cheesy memorized script he uses with every customer. I tried asking questions but were brushed away quickly so that he won't forget his script. He shown me a diamond and kept pushing for a deposit, which I clearly told him I was still shopping around.
Cheesy sales people. I end up buying mine from BlueNile
Tom's Place review.
ReplyDeleteHeard about Tom's Place from the radio ads, I should have read the Yelp reviews first. Might have put us on our guard. It wasn't until the next day, after having bought our suits, that we had that feeling that we just got bamboozled. The pressure to buy the first suit tried on was high. Before we had a chance to think, there was the tailor, marking it up for alterations. There was Tom, giving us a deal. free wiener. Supposedly, the sales persons are not on commission, but you could have fooled me. When we realized that first suit was not appropriate, or when we complained in the slightest about the style, we were told it was the latest style and our complaints dismissed. The sales pressure was very high. We won't be shopping there again.
Ended up with a free wiener and a suit "Dreck" from Kensington Market at 190 Baldwin St.
This loon thinks he is a celebrity. LOL
There are millions of customers in Toronto so I don't care about reviews on yelp schmelp, loon schmoon, wiener schmeiener or any other of your crap. I give you wiener and take you to the cleaners. But my fans in radioland keep coming back because they know our suits might be drek low quality last year styles but my prices are the best in Kensington Market. I grew up in Kensington Market, it was a shit hole in the 50's & 60's and I learned how to make money and squeeze a nickle out of a customer. Now I'm the King of Kensington Market and people respect me. Schmuck Schmoe who cares, I'm still the KING and I can buy air time on the radio and talk about whatever I want. I'm the King and I have thousands of suits on sale at 190 Baldwin St. Shop at Tom's Place
ReplyDeleteNorthwood Mortgage is always looking for new agents. This is a job selling mortgages and lines of credit for commission. The cost of entry - of course, they make you pay for your licensing and training about $1200 bucks.
ReplyDeleteThe potential rewards are, however, extremely lucrative. A market-average deal would result in a payout of $1000 to $2000. Most of these people will at least manage to flog one or two mortgages to their friends and family before giving up
SPENCE DIAMONDS REVIEW
ReplyDeleteWhen I was looking for an engagement ring, Spence diamonds seemed like a good place to start. They have plenty of setting store wide for you to choose from. The experience went down hill as soon as we sat down to look at loose stones. It was obvious that our sales persons was very seasoned at what he did. Speaking with a friend who had help from the same sales we soon found out he used the same cheesy lines. Most importantly was the price of a loose diamond. Round J colour SI 2 0.86 was priced at over 6000$. I knew my prices and my diamonds even before stepping into their store. Immediately I knew that they were selling junk at OBVIOUSLY HIGHER prices contrary to their radio ads.
With that said he tried to scare me by asking me to place a deposit for the diamond. I pleasantly declined the option.
Ever since our visit, he has called a total of 5 times, each time I've let it go to voicemail. So for those who go into the store and have a consultant talk to you. Make sure you give out a fake number if you don't see what you like.
Spence Diamonds Review
ReplyDeleteI was in the market for an engagement ring for my girlfriend, and decided to check out Spence. I was drawn by the 'quirky' commercials I had heard on the radio, so I figured this is the type of store for me! It sounded like low pressure, high quality diamonds, and I figured that they would work with me to get me the best deal!
When I first entered, a cheesy sales associate approached me and I told her that I was only looking and this was the first jeweler that I had visited. She handed me a box and told me to browse and pull out any ring that I liked. I did as she said, and I wanted to see what types of rings were available. After narrowing my search down to three, she took me into her office and started giving me a whole cheesy script lesson on rings, diamonds, and gem cutting. It was overwhelming, and I kept telling her that I was only looking. She then started to pressure me into seeing a diamond, and she said she had the perfect diamond for me in the back and that she would be right back with the cheese.
She came back with a diamond, and then took the ring and the diamond to the front and told them that I was hooked and ready to go. I felt so much pressure and now felt that I couldn't say no, since they were using lines like 'she's worth it, isn't she?'.., and so on. It was my fault that I put money down on the ring, so I accept that, but their high pressure cheesy sales was uncomfortable and I just wanted to leave the store so I could gather my thoughts.
After leaving, I thought about my purchase, and literally called them back the next day and told them I wanted to cancel my order because I needed to think about such a huge purchase. There is no way that they started anything on my ring, and they told me that they would be keeping $200 because I was cancelling the order... for Cheese
I went in to get my refund, and was made to feel bad that I was asking for a refund. They kept asking why I wanted a refund and where I was thinking I would get a better deal... on cheese
I ended up buying a perfect ring online at James Allen. I was very pleased with the high quality and great prices, and so was she! Cheesy sales people at Spence Diamonds
Hello to all my fans in Radioland. I heard on the radio that the city wants to charge tolls on the Gardiner Expressway so I immediately called Donald Trump to complain. My customers need bike lanes on the Spadina Expressway to come to my store at 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market. We need toll roads to pay for the Spadina Expressway with an off ramp on Baldwin St in front of my store where I sell suits and wiener.
ReplyDeleteThe Donald told me to FUCK OFF and call Mayor McCheese. Please shop at Toms Place if you want me to continue the fight for the Spadina Expressway with toll free bicycle lanes
It was a rainy day at CFRB Newstalk 1010 and no one was buying airtime, so I went to Pizzaville to get the Hondo Combo, Ponzo Combo. The cook said I would have to wait for someone to take a shit and not flush the toilet so they could make the Ponzo Combo Ponzo Combo Ponzo Combo
ReplyDeleteEveryone in Kensington Market was so sad to hear on the News 1010 that Honest Ed's was going out of business today.
ReplyDeleteIt was a Toronto landmark just like Tom's Place at 190 Baldwin St.
It will be sadly missed, but on the bright side, now I don't have any competition selling designer shuits at Low Low Prices.
My customers always wanted me to
match Honest Ed's prices. I couldn't do it.
I will be going to the auction to buy up all his leftover stock. Bidding against Saul and all the other clothiers in town.
Starting next week and lasting all year until next Boxing Day I am having an Honest Ed's suit sale
and I invite all my old customers and new customers to come back and shop at Tom's Place.
The King of Kensington Market
Tom's Place review.
ReplyDeleteBoxing Day Sales last all year long,
so there's no rush to buy on impulse.
Most young Bay Streeters have been here at 190 Baldwin St. to get their first suit. There are some good deals to be had on designers suits but they are few and far between. Do your homework learn about styles and fashion. Many of the thousands of suits are pure crapola. The sale staff are pushy and tell you everything looks good on you.
If you find something you like tell Tom you heard his radio ads and he will throw in a few free shirts. It's an ego thing. He likes to know people hear him on the radio. Best Flea Market suit joint in Toronto
Went to Tom's Place 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market to buy a cheap suit like he advertises on the radio. Beware. These are flea market loons. The sales staff are all trained in 30 year old psychology tricks to make you think you're getting a good deal. The place feels like a used car lot. High pressure salespeople. Very awkward, ended up buying a suit I felt terrible wearing, that didn't fit well. Tried to return the next day. They don't do returns. After pleading with them they offered me credit. I don't really want anything from this store.
ReplyDeleteTom shook my hand and told me not to come back to the store. Hah, I wouldn't even come back if I was offered 10 free suits. I hope to spread the word so they get the message.
Anybody know what happened to Tom's Place ll outlet store at 6900 Airport Rd. Mississauga? They had some good deals on cheapie suits last year. It's not there anymore. What happened?
ReplyDeleteRe: Tom's Place ll Outlet Store, Airport Rd. Mississauga
ReplyDeleteI heard from his friend in the biz Sauuuuul 5_6_9 Danforth, Greektown.
that after Tom did his live radio commercial medical checkup from the mental hospital,
the staff recommended Tom open the outlet store at Dr. Fleas Flea Market beside the food court in case he gets hungry for some wiener
Some comments from Twitter:
ReplyDeleteHell is a never ending Spence Diamonds radio commercial.
Sean Jones from Spence Diamonds has a complete monopoly over all radio station commercial spots. He is virtually unstoppable
The guy on the spence diamonds commercial sounds like he's never gonna be proposing to a girl... Maybe a dude, but never a girl
Jus listening to Q and heard a wee commercial for Spence and his supergay diamonds!
The spence diamonds commercial make me never want to get engaged
One more Spence Diamonds commercial and I cut off my ring finger
I'd rather sit next to a crying baby for hours than listen to another Spence Diamonds commercial
Are we supposed to believe the things the gay man from the Spence Diamonds commercial says
Spence diamonds commercial... The only thing top is the markup. What bs
Just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse, a Spence Diamonds commercial comes on
Spence diamonds commercial are THE most annoying commercials. Buy me an engagement ring from there an ill say no
Every time I hear a Spence Diamonds commercial on the radio, the part of me that ever wanted to get married dies a little bit
Stuck in traffic+spence diamonds commercial=head explosion
Being woken up by a spence diamonds commercial. Your diamonds r shit your commercials r shit your voice is shit your scream is shit.
The guy in the spence diamonds commercial sounds like such a perv!
Horrible Spence Diamonds commercial pressuring guys to propose on Valentine's Day to "make up" for Christmas!
I love how this Spence diamonds commercial is basically saying "Give your girl diamonds then you get sex"
Spence Diamonds commercial says they are the jewellery store for lovers. Who are all the others for? Does a blue Birks box say "I hate you"?
I probably wouldn't buy my engagement ring at Spence Diamonds, just in case I have to talk to those people from the commercial. Yikes
Does Spence Diamonds understand that with every annoying radio commercial they put out they push away potential customers?
Thankyou so much for posting these multiple Tweets from Twitter in mega shots. It was like dropping Fat Man and Little Boy from the Hiroshima era on this annoying store Spence Diamonds.
DeleteI hardly ever hear there commercials anymore and no more screaming thank God, well done
all I can say is something doesn't add up when a business spends so much money on advertising and then offers rock bottom prices. It doesn't take a economist to point the finger at sub-quality products.
ReplyDeleteMy God... my stomach is sore from laughing. I thought I was the only person who cringed and plugged their ears when the Spence Diamonds ads came on. They are so nauseating. But as at least one person has pointed out, this advertising works -- or Sean wouldn't be squealing for all he's worth. (lol... still laughing as I type...)
ReplyDeleteThankyou John Moore for the lovely introduction. CFRB Newstalk 1010 is a fabulous radio station and you always treat me with the respect I deserve.

It was so hot, the cockaroaches were swimming in my ice filled margarittas.
It was a lovely 1 star hotel with bed bugs paid for by the St. Maarten Tourism Department.
I can't complain because it was all free, plus all the free meals in all the great restaurants too, that I mentioned in my other ads.
All my friends were there on the golf course wearing their Canali's on sale 2 for 5 or 3 for $7.98
When I came back to Toronto, the Coppley's were starting to come in,
so I had to make some space and unload the Canali's at 3 for $9 the best value.
Business is so hot, I ate a spicy burrito and have been sitting on the toilet for 2 hours.

There is a reason for all these commercials by Saul Korman, Tom Milalik, and Sean Jones. Tax Write Off. A business expense.
ReplyDeleteInstead of paying taxes they waste money on bullshit advertisements babbling away on whatever they want. It's all part of the business I guess. Meanwhile Sears employees with 30 years service are getting the boot while Sears managers are getting the golden handshake and will be able to afford a new Roberto suit and a Spence Diamond and a juicy wiener from Toms Place or whatever he's selling in Kensington Market. Minimum wage will be going up to $14 an hour this fall and Tim Hortons raises their prices now to make it look like that is the reason for the price hike. These people are fucking cockroaches. Just my 2 cents worth. Now shop till you drop. We'll pick you up off the floor, Fuck you in the ass, and you can shop some more .........
For all you people complaining about the WOW scream in the Spence Diamonds commercials.
ReplyDeleteThis is part of the sales script on page 8.
At the end of the day when we close the store, we all gather around and talk about our customers and the great sales we made.
Whenever a sales associate makes a big commisiion, we all high five and scream WOW.
I was let go for not making my quota. Fuck you Spence Diamonds
I hear that Jack Berkovich is looking for a used jewelry salesman. Give him a try. Everything in the store is 100% off and on the weekends, take another 20% off..., because they are closing this location...
DeleteJack Berkovits is the founder and CEO of Omni Jewelcrafters. I would never work for this piece of shit. He thinks customers will believe that they are getting 200% off some worthless junk jewelry
DeleteHi to all my fans on the radioland.
ReplyDeleteI heard on the Newstalk 1010 about movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his sexual casting couch crap.
Harvey is a good customer in my store at 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market. He always pays full price.
He told me that he felt sorry for these starving actresses and just wanted to feed them some weiner schnitzel.
I was so happy to be chosen to do the voice for the Kensington Market Heritage Minute.

Radio listeners have given me tremondous positive feedback.
Kensington Market is a great place to shop and have a meal.
So many different people and the smells and flavours make this a go to destination when visiting Toronto.
I came to Canada as a young refugee from Hungary.
I didn't come here on a luxury ship like the Titanic, where everyone is wearing tuxedos and beautiful suits on Sale 2 for 5. at Tom's Place
No, I came here on a stinky old fish boat named the Weiner Schnitzel.
When I seen Kensington Market, I was so happy.
It was filled with gypsies, thieves and refugees.
Home at last. I worked hard and now I am the King of Kensington Market.
Shop at Tom's Place 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market
And while we're at it, let's make a stuffed IKEA animal out of that annoying "Jonas" that does the IKEA commercials! Enough is enough!!!

Youve probably heard the jingle for Northwood Mortgage before,
ReplyDeletebut now you are hearing about it from me.
I have a friend who was living beyond their means.
Supplementing their low wage income with credit cards.
Buying lots of crap from Spence Diamonds because of their funky commercials.
Missed a few mortgage payments, oh well.
Living in Toronto is expensive, Shit happens.
Came time to renew the mortgage on the condo.
The bank manager said you have a bad credit score. No mortgage for you.
That I need to find a Shadow Lender at much higher interest rates for risky loans.
As I was leaving the bank all the employees started singing. ♫ ♪ ♫
Northwood Mortgage, Northwood Mortgage, Come on try it, Northwood Mortgage, Come on try it
To all my fans and radio listeners that I give 50% off everyday.
ReplyDeleteI heard on Newstalk 1010 something about Trump doesn't want refugees from shit hole countries.
I told him we need these worthless muthafukas, otherwise I can't sell my shuits at 2 for $399 at 190 baldwin St. in Kensington Market.
Kensington Market was built on refugees from shit hole countries and they like the juicy deals in my store.
We need more refugees. I have lots of space in my basement.
I will give them food and shelter if they work hard.
Slackers, we deport them. No problem with that
To all the advertisers on the radio.
ReplyDeleteCFRB Newstalk 1010 owned by Bell Media, (a fucking cockroach trying to shut down websites like this) says that there are billions of customer $$$ out there in Radioland and you have a captive audience, so you should buy some airtime.
Buy 10 get 2 free.
I say, most of the heavily played commercials are Pure Shit.
It's like pumping shit out of a septic tank and spreading it out over the airwaves.
The CRTC should fine you and shut you down.
You should not waste your money on tons of radio advertising, and annoying people.
The result is they hate you and your product and say Get The Fuck Out Of My Office.
Spend your advertising dollars somewhere else where we don't have to listen to your Verbal Diarrhea.
I would advertise in print, newspapers, magazines, billboards, on the back of a bus and the internet, facebook, twitter etc.
Give out free samples or coupons.
Also don't waste your money buying lottery tickets for charity like Sick Kids Hospital, St. Margaret's Hospital etc.
Most of the money goes for advertisng and administration. Very little goes to the charity.
According to the heavily played radio commercials,
ReplyDeleteIt is Always A Rainy Day In Pizzaville.
Maybe someone is pissing in the pizza dough.
That would explain why the pizza is soggy and smells like piss in Pizzaville.

It is still shitty pizza in Pizzaville
I needed a suit for a job interview so i went to Korry's at 5_6_9 Danforth in the heart of Greektown.
ReplyDeletebecause I didn't know anywhere else in Toronto that sells suits except for Tom's Place the fucking loon in Kensington Market selling shit suits with no labels for $299.
Saul Korman the proprietor CEO and founder of Korry's, told me they had the best deal in the country on suits.
Everything was on Sale. 50 off, 2 for 1, buy 3 and get 1 free.
With deals like that how could I say no.......
Ended up with a beautiful private label Roberto suit with a small hardly noticeable poop stain for just $99.
Best place to buy suits
Here's the deal.
ReplyDeleteIt took me many years to figure these loons out because I usually turn the radio off as soon as I hear their annoying voice.
Saul Korman president of Korry's Clothiers at
569 Danforth in the heart of greektown.
He talks about name brand suits Canali, Coppley, Hugo Boss etc.
But what he really wants to sell you is his cheapo private lable Roberto suits made in St.Maarten.
The best value at half the price.
Tom Mihalik, president of Tom's Place 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market.
This guy is really fucked in the head.
Too much schnitzel up the ass.
That it explains why he walks funny.
But people are stupid and he is making money.
Most of the clothing is End of the Line, Dead Stock, Discontinued,
or shit made in his basement with the Kensington Market Label.
None of the suits have price tags, so they just make up prices as they go along.
If you are going to shop at these Fles Market Loons,
be prepared, check out other clothing stores first.

You've heard these annoying commercials for Alpine Credit before. Apploved.
ReplyDeleteBusiness Management
Shawn Baturin, Controller
Arif Mulji, Vice President of Business Development
Lesly Vizvarra, Corporate Secretary
These worthless motherfuckers lead you to believe you will be approved no matter what.
Alpine Credits has been in business in BC and Alta since 1969. However on their website they say they don't need to know your income. In Ont this company would be an equity lender.
B lenders deal with people who cannot get financed by a A lender usually because of credit issues or too high debt ratios. Some B lenders will deal with consumer proposals, bad credit etc. They look at the beacon score and this determines the amount they will refinance and the interest rate. They usually tack on an acceptance fee. The broker/mortgage agent may receive some compensation from them but they will usually add a brokerage fee also. The term could be up to 5 yaers.
Private lenders may be a Mortgage Investment Company or a private lender. You would be paying for their lawyer fees and your own. You would be charged an acceptance fee with them and also pay a brokerage fee to the firm the mortgage agent/broker works for. Usually the loan is for 1 year and interest only. People who are in danger of losing their home - job loss. property taxes owing etc use these when no other avenue is available. Some use them for a short term loan (If they are expecting money in within the year) from a Lottery Win rather than renegotiate their mortgage and pay an interest penalty.
In the above a property appraisal will be required to determine true value.
Your best bet is to talk to a mortgage agent and discuss your situation. A good agent will never ask you to sign anything on the spot or any upfront fee. However he/she may ask you to authorize a credit check so they can see what your financial picture is. This would be the start to see if they can assist.
Getting B financing or private financing needs to carefully considered. Just go into it asking questions and expecting accurate answers.
Tom's Place Review
ReplyDelete190 Baldwin St. Kensington Market.
You've probably heard Tom Milhalick on the radio advertising cheap deals on suits. Beware.
They will rip you off!
I bought a jacket in which the guy told me it was $450.00 - thinking I'm a good barterer I got them down to $300.00. Afterwards I took it to a guy who used to be in a similar business where he told me they ripped me off - there were no prices on the jacket, no labels as to what the jacket is made of etc. except that it was made for Tom's Place. They will supposedly call Tom to see if he will go down to a better price but I doubt anyone was on the other end.
You can do much better at so many other places in Toronto but if you do go please do so with your eyes wide open and do not buy anything that does't already have a price on it. I will never go back. So disapointed in myself for falling for this scam.
Tom's Place review 190 Baldwin St Kensington Market
ReplyDeleteI have been buying suits here for over 10 years.
Don't worry about the price tags on some of the suits, they are only suggested list price which means nothing.
I always low ball and get a good deal.
This store is in a flea market bazaar and they like to haggle over a few bucks so it's fun if you are into that. In middle eastern countries this is normal business.
I feel like I am at home.
The tailors are useless so I get my sister to do the alterations.
They have an amazing selection of suits but they try to up sell you to more expensive suits. They keep pushing, very cheesey, just tell them to f*ck off. Shirts are overpriced too. Just make a low offer, what you want to pay
Heard one to many radio commercials for Tom's Place 190 Baldwin St. in Kensington Market.
ReplyDeleteTom says he donates money to charity and if you shop at his store you are indirectly helping support these charities, which is good. Personally I would rather pay less for suits (Low Ball) and donate money saved to a charity of my choice.
Did a little research, here is what I found.
Immigrant Entrepreneurship:
How the '56-ers Helped to Build
Canada's Economy
William Mihalik who came to Canada after the 1956 revolution, was imaginative;
he anticipated and foresaw a demand for used clothing among the newly arrived Hungarians. Because in the beginning the refugees could
not find a job in their fields of expertise, many of them took entry-level employment in the hospitality industry.
"Mihalik took a chance in 1958 on a shuttered used-clothing operation at 54-56 Kensington Ave.
He committed to a $50 monthly rent and named it William's Clothing Store.
He started his operation by taking gifts of bottles of scotch to Toronto's Goodwill and other thrift stores.
He made each store manager an offer, call me first if you get white shirts, black pants, tuxedos and fur coats, and I will bring you another bottle.
Soon he was doing good business supplying a generation of Hungarian waiters with work clothing".,
In 1981 his son Tom bought the
business from him, and it became Tom's Place. In 1998 Tom's Place sold about $8 million worth of designer clothing. His sales per square foot, a key measure in retail, top $1000, more than twice the industry average.
Question: Why do Hungarian waiters need fur coats?
Maybe Hungarian hookers in Kensington Market need fur coats
Now I am wondering why Goodwill Industries in Toronto went out of business ............
with all that payola and free booze
On a final note:
Tommy The Great Tommy (as he calls himself)
is a loon and likes to hear himself talking on the radio because it makes him feel special.
He is probably not all bad.
Sure his prices are much higher than advertised and you get the bamboozled feeling.
But he does things for the community in Kensington Market by promoting the neighbourhood.

Northwood Mortgage's radio jingle always sounds like they're saying "We're fuckin' hard just for yoooouu"
ReplyDeleteIt's actually "workin'" but...
Is this the new gay sex ed curriculum they are teaching in Pizzaville College?
ReplyDeleteGlad my children don't go there.
Some friends came over to watch the game on TV, so we all decided on pizza.
ReplyDeleteSince it was a rainy day and we had all heard that Great Canadian Annoying Radio Jingle.
It was a rainy day in Pizzaville bullshit.
None of us had ever tried it, so we ordered.
After a few slices we all agreed that the pizza tastes like shit.
Just like the commercial. Pure Shit
Pizzaville = Shit Pizza
So many times on the radio I hear
ReplyDelete"IT WAS A RAINY DAY IN PIZZAVILLE" commercial,
so I decided to try it. What a disappointment.
Soggy hot garbage not good at all.
Maybe the company should spend less $$ on advertising and more $$ on quality ingredients
it's not the market, it's the marketing.
ReplyDeleteI had an old 2 bedroom house in Kensington Market,
trying to sell it for years.
It was rundown and the only bathroom was outside in the backyard.
Finally I sold it to Jerry Agar, (Newstalk 1010)
he installed a port a pottie in the livingroom,
and sold it to Frank Leo the number one real estate agent in the world.
That was over 3 years ago.
Frank Leo has had thousands of open houses and still trying to sell it
I am thinking about selling my Pizzaville restaurant because Northwood Mortgage refused my loan that I need for more advertisements. It is always raining in Pizzaville and the place is mouldy. Customers complaining about moldy pizza.
DeleteI want to get a hot dog wiener cart and roll up and down Kensington Market, make good money
According to the radio commercials Frank Leo is the number one real estate agent in the world. But I can't find any reviews on the world wide web from anyone that has used his service. I am guessing that his Home Sale Guarantee that he offers would be that he would buy your place at below market price, obviously. If I want to sell below market price, I'm sure many people will want to buy. Any advice?
Pizzaville commercials are nauseating enough,
ReplyDeletethat I wouldn't want to encourage them by purchasing their garbage
RUSSEL OLIVER THE CASH MAN
ReplyDeletewhy is this annoying piece of shit allowed to be open during the covid 19 pandemic and his non stop commercials on tv. Is buying someones gold teeth an essential business? Oh Yeah.
good to know these blood suckers are open when people are out of work and need speedy mortgages and cash. Oliver Jewelry and Harold The Mortgage Guy both are low life SCUM BAGS
ReplyDeleteI have seen Russel Oliver suck the juice out of a piece of shit that was spray painted GOLD
ReplyDeleteOH YEAH
OLIVER JEWELLERY
ReplyDeleteThis place is terrible. I was given a used Chanel purse by my mother recently, but it had no receipt, warranty card, hologram or anything. I was told to bring it in and they would use a machine to scan it and they could validate if it was real or not.
Took the purse in. The guy was rude, took less than mins to look at it and said no it's fake. No machine was there to scan.
I also had a significant amount of pure silver bullion coins to sell. They took all of it to count behind the wall, where I couldn't see it. The person delegated to count the total number of ounces struggled with basic math. It took 2 ppl 5 times counting to get to a number. The ounces is stamped on each coin so all you have to do is ADD IT UP!
The guy came out and tried to lowball me. Offered me $18/ounce. I had already called another place that buys and sells bullion and was quoted $21.05/ounce. I had 76 ounces for sale. I told the guy if he can come closer to what the other place was offering but he refused. He asked me what I wanted and I told him my minimum amount I was looking for. He went to the back and came back out repeatedly trying to get me to change my $$ and go lower. He trash talked the other place and tried to convince me that if I went over there, the price would be different. He came out with a wad of cash and waved it in my face to try to bully me into selling to him instead.
Now I am the type of person who places a lot of value on warm, fuzzy customer service and I also trust my gut feeling. My instinct was screaming NO, and I was very insulted with his buying tactics. He talked to me like I knew nothing about spot prices and mark ups. I told him I know plenty as I used to do something similar to him and I'm not an idiot. I will also be willing to go out of my way and pay for for things, if I have a good relationship with a vendor. I believe customer loyalty is important, and service should be too.
This place is bullshit. They will tell you wonderful things on the phone, but the actual customer service and transaction experience is horrible. They lie and try to pressure you to sell/buy from them. I hate feeling bullied and treated like I know nothing. I watched he lowball a number of other customers who walked in while I was there. It was sad.
When it was clear I wasn't drinking their bullshit tea, they practically threw my stuff back at me and told me curtly to leave. I ended up getting back in my car and driving out of my way to Richmond Hill where I sold my silver for $21.05/oz. The same price I had been quoted over the phone and the price that the Oliver employee had scoffed at and said he couldn't match. Oliver offered me a total of $1368 for 76 ounces of silver. Canadian PMX gave me $1599. It's a difference of $231. That is a lot. Plus the employees at Canadian PMX are much nicer and they never take your stuff behind a wall where you can't see it. I will never go back to sell or buy anything from Oliver Jewelery again.
This is a review for Oliver Jewellery Oakville which is a member of the Oliver Jewellery business....
ReplyDeleteOliver Jewellery Oakville runs a shady business. They are dishonest and unscrupulous. Over the phone, Oliver Jewellery Oakville will promise you a fair price to buy your precious metals just to lure you into their store. However, once you are at their Oakville location they will attempt to rip you off with insulting low ball offers. I had a 99.9 % fine silver bar (100 oz) to sell. Over the phone, I was quoted a price equal to 95% of the fair market price. However, once I was at the store, they offered me only 72%. This is the classic bait and switch technique. They tried to bully me into selling them the silver below the pre-agreed price by waving a wad of cash at me. When I declined their ridiculous offer, they got real nasty and insulting. Needless to say, I left disgusted for wasting my time with these crooks. I would rate Oliver Jewellery Oakville less than zero stars, if possible.
I am happy to report that there was a happy ending to my story because I was able to sell my silver bar at 94% of the fair market price on the same afternoon to an honest dealer in Mississauga. In summary, trust the reviews; especially the negative ones.
I strongly agree with Teresa J. where she aptly points out the incessant and aggregious persona of Mr. Oliver. Further, CP 24, pedestrian news casting at best, feels the need to pay for their broadcasting by having this "Oh yeah" neanderthal, continue to insult intelligent customers.
ReplyDeleteWhen Oliver's original store on Eglington Ave. W. near Bathurst St. opened, Oliver's only source of business was to scam his customers on pricing when one wanted to sell their jewellery to him. He continues his shawdy business practices with impunity Oliver Jewelry Oakville Pickering Vaughan and Woodbine Mall where Russel Oliver take you on the merry go round and gives it to you up the ass... OH YEAH
I have to start by saying I expected to be low balled as that is the way Oliver Jewelry makes his money. That was not the issue for me.
ReplyDeleteI had a pair of excellent quality pearl earrings. I don't wear pierced earrings. Russell Oliver himself was alone at the store when I arrived. He stated to me "I'll give you 10 bucks"..what I DIDN'T expect was when I simply said innocently, pleasantly and quietly (I am very soft spoken)..."oh, is that the best you can do?" he screamed "get the hell out of my store"! Honestly no exaggeration. So shocked I turned around to see if there was someone else he was talking to...perhaps someone behind me?! I was so shocked that I stood there with my mouth open. Then I ran out. This man is not rude he's downright abusive!!!!!!!! Beware. I am a polite, soft-spoken older lady...to this day I can't figure out what I did wrong...someone should call the police on this abusive maniac.
