NFB/Interactive's Welcome to Pine Point

Imagine growing up in a small mining town only to have that town disappear. What happens to your childhood memories? Will the residents continue to have any sense of belonging? In a collaborative effort by Adbusters creative team Paul Shoebridge and Michael Simons with former resident Robert Cloutier, and funding from the NFB of Canada, produce an online interactive web site to bring the history and culture of Pine Pointers, a former small town in the Northwest Territories.

It is a beautiful and interactive documentary of Pine Point.

 

Klepto Kitty

This kitty likes to scavenge and collect items. Lots of different items including clothing, shoes and toes. This kitty looks like my kitty.



Friendly stingray slaughtered in front of screaming children

In Hamelin Bay, Australia (I have actually visited this Bay), a friendly stingray named Stumpy was hunted in front of screaming children. This stingray would approach children and tourists in the shallows of the Bay and allow itself to be petted.



Hunting stingrays is not illegal in this area of Australia, but it is shocking that it was done to this particular sea creature in front of children. Sad story indeed.
