Cop Light Bling | Hot Line Bling Nova Scotia RCMP-style

Lol. You go RCMPs! They're trying to make a point here people. That's all that counts, so... ♫you know when these cop light bling, that can only mean one thing♫...


Nova Scotia RCMP's music video, ‘Cop Light Bling’, promotes awareness of Nova Scotia’s ‘Move Over’ law. The goal of the video is to highlight Nova Scotia’s An Act to Increase Safety for First Responders and Others, commonly known as the ‘Move Over’ law.

After coming into effect on May 1, 2010, the law makes it an offence to drive faster than 60 km/h or the posted speed limit (whichever is the lesser of the two) when passing a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing. Motorists also must change to the lane farthest from the stopped emergency vehicle, if that lane is free and it is safe to do so.

Thank you for slowing down and moving over!

The dog who grew a new face – Kalu’s astounding recovery (graphic)

OMG. This dog has no face!! Every time we thought it couldn't get any worse - it did. This dog's face was eaten away!! As usual, Animal Aid Unlimited, India did a spectacular job on the recovery of this poor dog. We wish we had loads of money to donate to this amazing organization...



Caution: This video contains graphic images of a severely wounded dog and his amazing recovery. 

We found Kalu inside of a hole at a construction site where he had gone to die. His face was severely wounded and infested with maggots. His recovery is truly one of the most awe-inspiring and miraculous recoveries we have ever seen. Please donate to give a second chance to street animals in India : www.animalaidunlimited.org/how-to-help/d­onate

These albino children were once hunted for their limbs. Now they're being given new ones

Great story we just had to share since we've always known about the way albino children (and adults) are treated in some parts of East Africa. It's a very disturbing fact but body parts of those with albinism are prized on the black market as it is believed spells based on their body parts will bring love, luck, and wealth. Thanks to a NYC charity, these 5 mutilated children from Tanzania will be given new relief with their new limbs...

The Face of Litter

Great idea! If you're going to litter, maybe knowing that your face will be plastered all over for everyone to see, will make you think twice!...


Littering and excess waste is an ongoing problem that needs to be faced, once and for all. Taking this statement literally, the Hong Kong Cleanup used DNA phenotyping to put a face to litterbugs. The campaign can be seen around the city, warning people not to litter, at the risk of becoming the next face of the campaign. Learn more@ ecozine

"Stop a Douchebag" Ep.17 - Sticker For the Lady

The "Stop a Douchebag" movement is a Russian youth movement that attempts to enforce the road traffic regulations in Russia where people drive on sidewalks when they shouldn't be and we have to say these guys are doing a darn good job! It's a tough job! Those Russian women can bet pretty fiesty too! 
Perhaps they should do what we do here in Canada and install a few concrete posts right down the middle. They not only try to stop these traffic violators but they also slap a big round sticker on their windshields which reads "I spit on all, I drive like I want to"...







These guys really have it hard. Here's more of the movement in action...

What's The Difference

A wonderful transformation for these homeless men. Who says it's only women that loves getting make-overs. Homeless men love to look good to you know. After all, as this vid for the non-profit organization Union Rescue Mission states: Young, Old, Weak, Strong, Rich, Poor, Able, Unable, Lost, Found - We are all the same! God Bless these good Samaritans who put some happiness into the lives of these homeless men...

A Cheesy Love Story - The Ad Doritos Don't Want You to See

Who knew eating Doritos, one of our favourite snacks, had such an impact on a certain environment. The love story ad started off cheesy but went sour in the end. This is the ad that Doritos don't want you to see in 'Doritos Crash The Superbowl 2015.' As the 'Fighting for people over profit' organization site SumofUs, explains: 

That sound when you bite down on Doritos? That’s the sound of rainforests being “crunched” to make way for massive palm oil plantations in Southeast Asia. Workers, and even children, are trapped in modern slavery on the plantations. Forests and peatlands are burned to the ground, driving endangered species like orangutans to extinction and polluting the Earth's atmosphere with gigatons of greenhouse gases -- all to make palm oil.

Doritos’ parent company, PepsiCo, could put a stop to the deforestation. But instead of leading the charge, PepsiCo is hanging back, issuing middling policies with gaps so big a parade of endangered pygmy elephants could fit through them.

Tell PepsiCo to be bold and help save the rainforest.
