Streetcars were diverted and police were called after a briefcase was found attached to a metal railing at Spadina Ave. and Dundas St. West. It turned out the briefcase was part of a month-long challenge to find prizes using an online map and through clues from Twitter. A recent company news release said some 880 similar briefcases were to be hidden across the country during July as part of a promotion dubbed "Search and Rescue." Coors Light Canada later posted a message on Twitter to offer what it said was "sincerest apologies for any disruption this has caused." The company later said the promotional campaign is now complete and that a new one will be introduced at bars across the country in the coming weeks. The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.--Yeats

Or is there someone from Coors madly dashing across the country tracking them down before the bomb-sniffing dogs are called out? Click here to view attached image.

I guess if you think they don't make a good product, this article pretty much answers the question of whether good marketing is better. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-......lercoors

It is slightly less deplorable than the original.
