Thought this was a funny promotion. Rogers, never known for ever being cool, finally took a tiny step outside the box their lawyers have drawn around them by using “Will It Blend” to help promote their new handset insurance. Too bad the execution was pretty dry.

Authentic Korean food is one of the “must try” foods in Toronto. It’s one of the few cuisines that have arrived here relatively unmolested by North American tinkering (there’s no Manchu Wok of Korean food).

• $35 a month for five gigabytes of data

Both are contract-free and include Rogers Wi-Fi spots.

Feel like Rogers should bring back their original plan? I do. Be heard on Roger’s own Redboard site.
