BREAKING: Fox News has learned that LA federal judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong (Biden appointee), has written a tentative decision that sides w/ the ACLU & plaintiffs over the Trump administration & will potentially block DHS from carrying out arrests at Home Depots, car washes, etc in the LA area. Sources who have reviewed Judge Frimpong’s tentative decision tell us her order will block ICE and Border Patrol from relying on race, Spanish speaking, location, and type of work when making immigration arrests. Additionally, DHS will be blocked from conducting stops of suspected illegal immigrants unless the agent has a reasonable suspicion that there is a violation of immigration law. The ACLU and a handful of plaintiffs sued the Trump administration, alleging they were doing “deportation dragnets” in LA by making mass arrests that were based only on skin color and race. The Trump administration DOJ denies this, saying all arrests are in accordance with the law and are based on the totality of the circumstances, including surveillance, intelligence, and locations where illegal immigrants are known to work or be hired. Judge Frimpong said in court today that her tentative decision is not final, and she can change her mind at any moment. She expects to make her final ruling tomorrow. But for now, this case is shaping up to be a loss for the Trump administration, which will undoubtedly appeal once it’s finalized. This ruling will affect the Central District of California (7 SoCal counties). The ACLU is expected to give a press conference here in downtown LA after today’s court hearing wraps up.

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! Joe Biden globally colluded to win the 2020 election! And colluded globally on disinformation work too. And Bill Gates funded this! Even worse? The dude is still rambling on about Russiagate. And it’s gonna get a whole lot worse when I expose the 2020 election too. Trust me, Biden and Soros will wish they are in Shady Acres retirement villas for the mentally insane when I get done. Remember the Times election fortification article? The Transition Integrity Project was ran by Protect Democracy. Protect Democracy also ran the National Task Force on Election Crises. Which partnered with Biden’s global collusion org called the Transatlantic Commission on Election Integrity (TCEI). Yeah I just linked Biden to the 2020 election fortification efforts. He cheated! All election changes were to help him win. And global censorship is linked to him too. In fact his Global Summits for censorship started here in 2018. Can a non President actually meet with all these folks? Isn’t this a Logan Act violation? And get this, he hung out with the Ukraines Victor Pinchuk and Michael Chertoff here too. Oh heck let’s expose the global colluders now: The Alliance Of Democracy: Joe Biden – Vice President of the United States (2009-2017) Felipe Calderon – President of Mexico (2006-2012) Michael Chertoff – United States Secretary of Homeland Security (2005-2009), Co-Chair Nick Clegg - Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (2010-2015) Eileen Donahoe - Executive Director, Global Digital Policy Incubator, Stanford Centre for Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert – Defence Minister of the Netherlands (2012-2017), Member of the Dutch Parliament Toomas Hendrik Ilves – President of Estonia (2006-2016) Natalie Jaresko – Finance Minister of Ukraine (2014-2016) Tanit Koch – Editor-in-Chief of BILD newspaper (2016-2018) Jeanne Meserve – Anchor and correspondent at ABC news and CNN (1984-2011), Senior Fellow at the George Washington University Center for Cyber and Homeland Security (2011-2017) Victor Pinchuk – Ukrainian businessman and philanthropist, founder of the Victor Pinchuk Foundation Anders Fogh Rasmussen – NATO Secretary General (2009-2014), Founder, Alliance of Democracies, Co-Chair Marietje Schaake – Member of the European Parliament, Vice-President of the European Parliament delegation to the US Joanna Shields – UK Minister for Internet Safety and Security and Under-Secretary of State (2015-2017), Member of the UK House of Lords

“Hollywood Steps Out” (1941) ― Merrie Melodies Cartoon. “Hollywood Steps Out” is a 1941 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon short directed by Tex Avery and produced by Leon Schlesinger. The cartoon features caricatures of over forty contemporary Hollywood celebrities (along with guest appearances). PLOT A group of “caricatured” Hollywood stars is having an expensive dinner at Ciro's nightclub in West Hollywood. The first stars seen are Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, Adolphe Menjou and Norma Shearer. Greta Garbo, working as a cigarette girl, sells a pack to Cary Grant, then lights his cigarette by striking a match on her very large foot. Edward G. Robinson asks Ann Sheridan “How's the Oomph girl tonight?”. Sheridan responds by uttering the word “oomph” several times. Warner Bros. staffers Henry Binder and Leon Schlesinger are shown. A seat is reserved for Bette Davis, as is an extra-wide sofa for Kate Smith. More seats are reserved for the characters of the Blondie films, including a fire hydrant for Daisy the dog. In the cloakroom, Johnny Weissmuller checks a coat with Paulette Goddard that reveals his Tarzan outfit. Sally Rand leaves her trademark feather fans behind and is presumably naked. James Cagney prepares Humphrey Bogart and George Raft for a risky task: pitching pennies. Harpo Marx gives Garbo a hot foot, who reacts with a weary “Ouch”. Clark Gable turns his head around 180 degrees to observe a blonde girl, whom he follows offscreen. Bing Crosby introduces the evening's entertainment, interrupted frequently by a racehorse with an apparently unconscious jockey. Crosby presents conductor Leopold Stokowski, who wears a snood before performing “Ahí, viene la conga” (also known as “Here comes the conga” in English). The conga inspires Dorothy Lamour to invite James Stewart to dance with her, who stutters, stammers, and runs away scared. Gable dances by, following the girl he saw earlier. Tyrone Power dances with Sonja Henie. Frankenstein's monster dances stiffly and woodenly. The Three Stooges abuse each other in rhythm to the beat. Oliver Hardy's dance partner is revealed to be twin blonde women initially hidden by his obese frame. Cesar Romero dances clumsily with Rita Hayworth. Mickey Rooney, sitting with Judy Garland, is presented with an expensive bill, who turns to ask his Andy Hardy movie father (Lewis Stone) for a heart-to-heart talk. In the next scene, they are seen washing dishes. Gable is still pursuing the girl. Crosby then introduces Sally Rand (identified as “Sally Strand”), performing a bubble dance to “I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles”, as the camera cuts between the men's reactions and her dancing. Spectators at various tables include: Kay Kyser, William Powell, Spencer Tracy, Ronald Colman, Errol Flynn, Wallace Beery, and C. Aubrey Smith, who wolf-whistle in unison (by saying “Baby!”), Peter Lorre, Henry Fonda, whose “mother” pulls him away by his ear (in its reference to The Aldrich Family), J. Edgar Hoover, Boris Karloff, Arthur Treacher, Buster Keaton, and Mischa Auer, asked by Ned Sparks if they are having a good time, and Jerry Colonna, who reveals an invisible character next to him called “Yehudi”. Now that Strand is standing still on the stage, this allows Harpo Marx an opportunity to shoot her bubble with a slingshot. The bubble explodes on impact, and she reacts with shock, as it reveals she is wearing a barrel, held up by suspenders. Meanwhile, Gable has finally caught up to the girl he was chasing and insists she kiss him. The girl turns out to be Groucho Marx in drag. CAST Kent Rogers as James Cagney, Cary Grant, Edward G. Robinson, Clark Gable, Ned Sparks, Peter Lorre, Groucho Marx, Mickey Rooney, James Stewart, J. Edgar Hoover, Henry Fonda, Bing Crosby, Kay Kyser, and Lewis Stone. Mel Blanc as Jerry Colonna. Sara Berner as Greta Garbo, Ann Sheridan, Paulette Goddard, Dorothy Lamour, and Henry Fonda's mother.

For the first time in my life, I feel I get to merge the 2 things that I love: production & web3. When I look at web3, the space is so rich in stories. Founder stories, product stories, user stories. I believe storytelling is ultimately what will help people see this space for what it is and to give them a different perspective on the media headlines. And it's not often that as a creative you can work side by side with brands and cos that you truly align with. So on May 24th, when I got the call from Arcade Research and Blast to see if I could help Pacman | Blur + Blast share the story and vision for Blast- I knew it was going to be sprint but it was an easy yes. Really excited to share that I had the privilege of directing and producing the Blast Phase 2 announcement video and a deep dive interview with Pacman about the vision for Phase 2. From a little campaign video to a deep dive interview- we covered it all and we ran it back ;) The last 30 days have been a non-stop sprint literally up until yesterday, with 2 productions in LA and NYC. And I’m so grateful to have been a small part of what feels like history in the making. A campaign like this does not happen on such a tight turnaround time without an incredible crew and post-production team. This would not have been possible able to do this without them. Proud of this crew and it was an honor to work alongside them. Excited to be properly stepping back into the world of production to tell the stories of Web3. We experimented, FAFO’d, and had an actual Blast. Plz gib a round of applause for these legends who made it all possible 👏🐐👇 Production Co: Remint Reality Director/Producer: RIP Director of Photography: Josh Park Production Designer: Briana Gonzales 1st AC: Wade Young 2nd AC/DIT: Che Song “Jay” Pak 2nd AC: Mitchell Schultz Editor & Sound Designer: PANDAA (delusionally optimistic era) Motion Graphics & Animation: Suffoca Los Angeles Crew Stills Photographer: Hannah BTS Video: James Cortez Steadicam Op: Jaron Tauch Gaffer: Robin Banando G&E Swing: Eddie Loera Best Boy Electric: Geoff Stevenson Key Grip: Tony Banando Sound Mixer: Ferinand Almalvez Boom Op: Matt Brodnick Set Dresser: Chris Katus H/MU: Tayla Boz PA: LJ Benet New York Crew Gaffer: John Roche G&E Swing: Jeff Cunningham G&E Swing: Kevin Hunt Grip: Huttemberg Nassar Sound Mixer: Daniel Sheppard Boom Op: EJ Markland Set Dresser: Damani Pompey H/MU: Sol PA: Vitali A huge thank you Blast for taking a bet on me and bringing me in to work on this.

“HAMAS IS COMING" Following the Money at C and 3rd 🚨Many folks wonder WHO organized the bus caravan for the rally that even Kamala Harris now condemns for its protestors scrawling graffiti like "HAMAS IS COMING" on the monuments of Washington, D.C. As I heard reports of tear gassing, I went to Union Station yesterday and saw the ashes of the American flag, black graffiti still staining the bell and monument outside the train station. Another scrawl of graffiti said: "END ISRAEL. I COMEND [SIC] HAMAS." Another: "DEATH 2 AMRIKKKA." Another: "A NATION LED BY MUHAMMAD WILL NOT BE DEFEATED." 📍As an AmericanMuslim feminist and reformer, I find all these messages disturbing but my reporting didn't end because the protestors were headed home. It was just getting started. In this video, I walk you through the reporting that I did that journalists unfortunately are not doing, so that each of you can be empowered with facts and tools for citizen journalism. What is the biggest quality of a Nancy Drew or a Hardy Boy? Curiosity. And not being afraid of where the reporting leads you. Unfortunately, mainstream journalists are afraid to say the "s" word -- Socialist -- for the movement that is leading these protests with Islamists. 📍When I heard the news of the protest, I clicked through an email from American Muslims for Palestine, being investigated by Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares for allegedly improper fundraising, and I found the portal to get bus tickets on the website for the ANSWER Coalition, a coalition of SELF-DESCRIBED Socialist, Leninist and Marxist organizations. They are not ashamed of their identity so why do journalists erase them from their reporting about these protests? 📍As I drove in DC after the protests, I found another email from American Muslims for Palestine for the drop-off spot for the busses that were bringing the protestors in from around the country and taking them home. It was at the corner of C Street NW and 3rd Street NW. So I went to that corner from Union Station to see busses heading back to Ohio and Maine with the protestors wearing the "red shirts" they were asked to wear for the protest. 📍There, I met friendly organizers from the Party for Socialism and Liberation Party for Socialism and Liberation who worked with National Students for Justice in Palestine CAIR National American Muslims for Palestine and a nexus of leftist and Islamist groups to hold the rally, thus the shouts of "Allahu Akbar" as the American flag burned. One leader from Columbus, Ohio, whom I meet is a well-spoken trans activist for the Party of Socialism and Liberation. She told me it's not their place to decide what governance looks like for Palestinians. I told her I don't agree but I heard her out. Her fight is in "the empire" for an anti-capitalist America, she said. 📍Too many media outlets are too afraid or lazy to name the organizers, only writing that "thousands" marched, as if it was organic. 📍Why the subterfuge? These leftist and Islamist groups brag about their organizing work on their social media accounts and websites. Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour Linda Sarsour was there in all her glory with CODEPINK founder Medea Benjamin. And they posted a video afterwards. 📍White House candidates from the Party for Socialism and Liberation -- Claudia De la Cruz for President and Karina Garcia for Vice-President Claudia De la Cruz & Karina Garcia --were at the protest to denounce American capitalism and Zionism. THEY ARE RUNNING to be US PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT. And they don't support Kamala Harris for president. Why does the media not report out these key leaders? These leaders are unashamed and unapologetic. They're not hiding anything. They are proud of their work. The video is long but I want to share with you what I learned and how to do the kind of reporting we need in this world to get to truth. Best, Asra PS Read my book, WOKE ARMY, to get the long history on how we got here! I want everyone inoculated!

EXCLUSIVE: ‼️‼️ Karen Bass, the DEMOCRAT Mayor Karen Bass just retained a WOKE, Democrat, anti-White, pro -BLM and pro-racial REPARATIONS Illinois based consulting firm called Hagerty Consulting to oversee the rebuild of areas in The Palisades and Los Angeles destroyed by the recent fires! ‼️‼️ The Communist Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, just announced yesterday that she has selected Hagerty Consulting to assist with infrastructure restoration and environmental mitigation in LA. Nobody bothered to look into this firm…so I did. Hagerty Consulting will conduct “full project management” and coordination of all private and public entities,” the mayor said Friday. The work of rebuilding public infrastructure will also fall under Hagerty, Bass said. Hagerty Consulting was founded by Steve Hagerty and his wife, Lisa Altenbernd. Steve Hagerty was the 21st mayor of Evanston, Illinois from May 8, 2017, to May 10, 2021. As Mayor, Steve Hagerty created a REPARATIONS PROGRAM for black residents. The Evanston Reparations Committee was established by the City Council of Evanston, Illinois in 2019 as the FIRST publicly funded reparations program for Black Americans in the US. During the George Floyd Riots, Hagerty supported BLM and encouraged people to “march”, aka RIOT, for “social justice” and police reform, which included making all police officers wear body cameras. As Mayor, Hagerty supported Green New Deal initiatives and pushed for his city to fight climate change with renewable energy. Hagerty and his Illinois based firm are now in charge of overseeing the environmental aspect of the rebuild in the Palisades and ALL PROJECT MANAGEMENT on California Tax payers’ dime. Hagerty is also part of George Soros’s Open Society Foundation’s “Mayor Exchange” program. Karen Bass has previously said that she thinks “that maps of L.A. were drawn to protect the wealth of white people and destroy the wealth of Black people & other people of color”. 🚨👇🏻See receipt below🚨👇🏻 Bass has hired a pro-REPARATIONS firm out of Democrat stronghold Illinois to oversee the rebuild of LA so that it can comply with racial social justice initiatives that Karen Bass and Steve Hagerty support. President Donald J. Trump and JD Vance MUST STOP ALL federal funds from being used to fund a racist, woke consulting firm tied to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s mega donors in the Pritzker family, as JB Pritzker is the Governor of Illinois, and Hagerty Consulting is an Illinois-based, Democrat consulting firm whose founder supports racial reparations. It’s worth nothing that in November 2024, just days after the Presidential election, Gavin Newsom purchased a $9 million California home from the Pritzker family, as was exclusively reported by Loomer Unleashed.

🔥🔥🔥 Breaking! Trust Network Exposed! Global monitoring of our 2020 election and January 6th. Which was to protect everyone but conservatives. Linked to Protect Democracy of the Times election fortification article. Obama is also linked to GLOBAL 2020 election and January 6 monitoring! And an actual physical presence on January 6 at the BLM Plaza which was used as headquarters to protect everyone but WHITE PEOPLE. “In September 2020, Mediators Beyond Borders created the TRUST Network as an early warning-early response system to reduce violence around the 2020 elections and beyond.” This was created after weekly meetings starting in August to counter authoritarianism in the USA. Where they compared our country to genocidal Rawanda. The Southern Poverty Law Centers database, who is enveloped in scandal, was utilized. (In video) The Trust Network included NAFCM, Ushahidi, Dc Peace, ElectionSOS and more. Obama is linked to both Ushahidi and ElectionSOS. For example, Ushahidi worked Obamas 2012 election, and was in his Open Government Partnership and hub, utilized his admin staff, was partnered with his USAID, plus more. ElectionSOS was born outta Hearken stationed in Obamas old campaign headquarters building along with CTCL. Tiana Epps Johnson, an Obama fellow, was in that same building and office when she created the zuckerbucks org, CTCL. CTCL, used for the 2020 election, was an Obama fellowship created org. ElectionSOS, part of the Trust Network, was also involved in an emergency phone call of over 70 “GLOBAL peacekeepers” on Jan 6. ElectionSOS decided on what to call the Jan 6th protest which became an “insurrection” as a result. 2020 Trust Network Partners: - Ushahidi - DC Peace (BLM Plaza Jan 6) - EIRUSA2020 (Ushahidi monitors for 2020 election and Jan 6) - ElectionSOS - ListenFirst - NAFCM - Bridge Alliance - Bridging Divides Initiative - Carter Center - Overzero DC Peace Team at BLM Plaza: From Election Day to Inauguration Day, DCPT had a presence. It was in the streets providing accompaniment to local activists and individuals at risk during the pro-Make America Great Again rallies on Nov. 14, Dec. 12, and Jan. 6, and during inauguration week on Jan. 17 and Jan. 20. DCPT (DC PEACE) is grateful to work with local community leaders and the broader safety collective in D.C., as well as the support of Election Incident Reporting (Ushahidi) and the TRUST Network with Mediators Beyond Borders for enhancing their remote assistance and incident tracking. Kenya Ushahidi EIRUSA and global monitoring of the USA election and Jan 6: “The citizen-led (Ushahidi) platform, which is called EIRUSA, was launched in October (2020) amidst growing fears of voter suppression and election violence. It is run by hundreds of volunteers from AROUND THE WORLD, who take to the streets and the tweets to help. The interesting part, is DC Peace wasn’t there to protect white people, just BIPOC and DC organizers. “During election events, DCPT’s primary goal was to accompany and protect the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) and local organizers from D.C., through preventing violence and — when possible — interrupting dehumanization. A secondary goal was cultivating empathy, as circumstances permitted.” The Trust Network links to the National Taskforce For Election Crisis, for post election handling. The email provided was Protect Democracy who ran the Transition Integrity Project. Video : Details on development of the Trust Network in September 2020 along with why, and its earliest meetings prior. Was FirstNet a Freudian slip? This supposed bipartisan org also discusses the increase of wealth by the few, inequity, climate change, and US authoritarianism with the decline of democracy. Sources to follow.

🚩Breaking News : Finance heavy hitter Craig Stobo has been announced by NZ First as a candidate in Botany, the seat currently held by Christopher Luxon. Stobo will be on the list. He brings a serious record in finance, especially superannuation and financial regulation: He built BT Funds Management, led the tax review that produced the PIE regime that KiwiSaver is built on, and later chaired the Financial Markets Authority. He was removed from that role at the FMA after an official review found his public commentary, including on the Treaty Principles, breached the political neutrality expected of an independent regulator. In plainer terms, he was taken out of the FMA for refusing to bow down to Māorification Mumbo Jumbo. * He created NZ’s municipal bond market. Stobo chaired the LGFA establishment board and has been inaugural chair since 2011. It is now the largest NZ-dollar bond issuer after the Crown, with about $25 billion of AAA bonds and almost every council as a voluntary borrower. That is a rare piece of financial-market plumbing: cheaper long-term money for local infrastructure without a Crown guarantee. Craigs business experience completely pulls down the pants of any MP currently in the house. Track record : He has built a funds business from scratch. He co-launched BT Funds Management NZ in 1992 and ran it as CEO until 2004, taking AUM to about $3 billion making it under his guidance, NZ’s largest and most successful Funds management company. He sits right at the intersection of city balance sheets and markets. He was a founding director of the Auckland Future Fund, set up to invest the proceeds of Auckland Council’s airport share sale (~$1.3 billion) rather than spend the capital. Rather than just sitting on boards Craig has got actual outcomes. He chaired Precinct Properties from incorporation in 2010, changing it from a unit trust to a company, attracting foreign investment that enabled the company to be listed as PCT on the NZX. He chaired Fliway a family owned logistics company, over seeing its scaling through its NZX IPO and later sale to NZ Post for $55 Million. He chaired AIG New Zealand from licensing in 2012 to 2022. Taking over after the global giant was wounded badly during the GFC and building a legitimate local arm that is profitable and still trading. At NZ Windfarms he oversaw the first consented windfarm repower in New Zealand (about 21 months, versus the seven-years plus, common in the sector). Craig holds First-class honours in economics at Otago, Milner Prize at Waitaki Boys, Wharton AMP. Diplomat for both NZ and Australia (seconded to DFAT in Canberra, including Middle East work, involved in Hawke–Keating deregulation in the 80’s ). Economist at DFC/Zealcorp, then Bankers Trust NZ on the rates desk — heading the same dealing room where a young John Key made his name in FX. Craig Stobo is one of the few New Zealanders with such a highly credible CV who has both written the tax architecture of managed funds, which helped build Kiwi saver and built the vehicle that funds capex for most councils in NZ. He’s an excellent addition to NZFirst to help us turn this country around. Craig Stobo was also in attendance at the anti mandate protest in Wellington, and was mandated out his job for refusing to take the jab. Listen to the incredible excerpt below where he discuss how the business a political elite have too much power and have hurt people for far too long.

In May 1999, a commercial PSA debuted that featured a tiny hippo who won the hearts of Canadians. It is more than a commercial today. It is part of Canadiana. This is the story of the House Hippo! Hoping to develop a television PSA, Concerned Children's Advertisers wanted something that could catch the attention of Canadians. The goal was to educate children about critical thinking regarding what they see on television. The House Hippo PSA was based off the classic Hinterland Who's Who TV spots of the 1980s. The creation of the House Hippo came about through a lightning bolt moment according to Siobhan Dempsey, one of the writers of the PSA. She stated, “I think Malcolm Roberts said how about a tiny animal that lives in your house? He had a son at the time and thought it might be kind of magical. The hippo was just the funniest animal we could think of, and yet somehow the most plausible. A giraffe or moose just seemed too fake somehow.” The one-minute commercial was directed by Tim Hamilton of Avion Films. The visual effects were completed by Spin Productions. The composer and sound designer was Eric Harry. The hippo was created using stock footage that was modified to add shadowing, blurring, colour correction and to make it seem as though the hippo was a tiny creature in a home. The PSA earned critical-acclaim and won the Golden Marble Award for Best Public Service Advertisement in 1999. In a bit of irony, many children who saw the commercial came to believe that House Hippos were real. Possibly one of the weirdest things to do with the House Hippo that I found was a series of classified ads that were printed in the Whitehorse Daily Star in October and November 2002, which stated, quote: “Looking for a male house hippo, eight months to one year to breed with my female house hippo.” Two decades later, MediaSmarts released a new version of the PSA as part of its Break the Fake Campaign. But it is the original PSA, that lives in the hearts of Canadians. MediaSmart Executive Director Ann Hill would try and explain the obsession with the House Hippo as a combination of nostalgia and the cultural obsession with cute, small things I mean, who among us didn't want to find a House Hippo of their own? If you would like to learn more about the House Hippo, you can check out my episode here: If you enjoy my Canadian history content, you can support my work with a donation at **** En mai 1999, une première publicité mettant en vedette un petit hippopotame a conquis le cœur des Canadiens.

La création de la Maison Hippo s'est produite par un éclair selon Siobhan Dempsey, l'une des auteurs du message d'intérêt public. Elle a déclaré, «Je pense que Malcolm Roberts a dit que diriez-vous d'un petit animal qui vit dans votre maison ? Il avait un fils à l’époque et pensait que cela pourrait être magique. L’hippopotame était tout simplement l’animal le plus drôle auquel nous puissions penser, et pourtant le plus plausible. Une girafe ou un élan semblait tout simplement trop faux. La publicité d'une minute a été réalisée par Tim Hamilton d'Avion Films. Les effets visuels ont été réalisés par Spin Productions. Le compositeur et concepteur sonore était Eric Harry. L'hippopotame a été créé à partir de séquences d'archives qui ont été modifiées pour ajouter des ombres, du flou, une correction des couleurs et pour donner l'impression que l'hippopotame était une petite créature dans une maison. Le message d'intérêt public a été acclamé par la critique et a remporté le Golden Marble Award de la meilleure publicité de service public en 1999. Ironiquement, de nombreux enfants qui ont vu la publicité en sont venus à croire que les hippopotames étaient réels. L'une des choses les plus étranges que j'ai trouvées concernant l'hippopotame domestique était peut-être une série de petites annonces publiées dans le Whitehorse Daily Star en octobre et novembre 2002, qui déclaraient, je cite : "Je recherche un hippopotame mâle, huit mois à un an pour se reproduire avec mon hippopotame femelle." Deux décennies plus tard, HabiloMédias a publié une nouvelle version du message d'intérêt public dans le cadre de sa campagne Break the Fake. Mais c'est le message d'intérêt public original qui vit dans le cœur des Canadiens. La directrice exécutive de MediaSmart, Ann Hill, tenterait d'expliquer l'obsession pour la maison Hippo comme une combinaison de nostalgie et d'obsession culturelle pour les petites choses mignonnes. Je veux dire, qui d'entre nous ne voulait pas trouver son propre hippopotame domestique ?
