In early August of 2004, KFC (or PFK, as it is called in Quebec), started a new commercial on television that is really funny.

The commercial starts with a young woman pointing to the ground and screaming loudly, as if she saw a monster, a decaying corpse, or something really scary.

Then the camera moves to the place she was pointing at, and there we see the horror: a lone fall-colored maple leaf on the ground!

Then the commercial goes on to say enjoy a summer meal, ...etc.

Later in the commercial, a fall color leaf falls on a young man's shoulder and he also screams.

Well, I have to admit, the commerical is very very funny. But it is also true: our long and cold winter causes a certain phobia in many of us, even long time Canadians who were born and raised here.
