The Vox Box

Yellow Sticky Notes

While wasting my precious time on YouTube, I found this video. I thought it was entertaining, and I figured we have had some serious topics here on the blog lately, so why not inject some humor? I will warn you though, there are some topics in this film that aren't politically correct, and may be offensive. Nonetheless, it's a humorous video.


Video found on YouTube and made by Hapa Animation

The video has won multiple awards, including the Elan Award, a coveted award in animation. It has shown at multiple festivals around Canada. The blog for the site can be found here.

I have 2 questions. First, do you think that this video is entertaining and thought-provoking, or just the work of someone with way too much time on their hands? Second, does this film make you think about or reflect on anything in your own life?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
