Jessica, you realize that's a viral promotion for Nova Scotia?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn. Who produced that? What with the flash and the video....
OK, I went to the end. It's an ad for Nova Scotia!

It's kind of controversial around here because it cost $300K of taxpayers dollars, and not everyone gets to the NS message.

I'm not surprised.
It's almost like that "Cat herding" Superbowl commercial. Which was one of the awesomest commercial ever, but who remembered what it was for (even the day after it aired)?

Unfortunately for the Cat Herder commercial, it was for a company that most people never encounter in their daily life... so brand awareness wasn't exactly built up.
I SO want a Pomegranatephone now. And that website is very very nice Flash indeed.

XML question - if you have a double-quote as part of a value in some XML, the double-quote would of course be escaped. But what about the ” character? (The closing double-quote character, not the regular " (ASCII 34) character?) Some Javascript code is not recognizing my XML as valid because of this character.
I'm hoping that people will adopt my "Tell the client not to use that character" solution, but I'm trying to think ahead in case I have to have our code handle this.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's probably not recognizing the ” character because the data is labeled with the wrong character encoding. If I were to hazard a guess, JavaScript is expecting the XML to be encoded as utf-8, but the file is actually encoded in cp-1252.
In any event, ” can be represented by the entity ” or ”.
