Kildonan Place Just Met You, and This is Crazy…
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that Call Me Maybe is getting a little played. But with Carly Rae Jepsen’s new album out this week, maybe we can give it one more listen.
After all, the video we’re looking at was made during the height of Call Me Maybe mania back in August. And it was made for a much better reason than most of the song’s parody videos: Kildonan Place Shopping Centre really did want shoppers to call it. And they really did need its number, because a big change was underway. Winnipeg was transitioning to 10 digit dialing, and the old way of calling was about to give out. Clearly this was an emergency of meme-ish proportions.
Thankfully, the folks at the center were ready to help solve the crisis. In this adorable video, we see retailers, management and guests all chime in. Check it out—and sorry in advance for the earworm.
