Spongebob Sealskin Pants? Twitter runs wild as #NunavutTVshows hashtag takes off
Twitter hashtag brainstorms new shows for a Nunavut audience
The weather might have been great for playing outside this weekend in Nunavut, but online, Nunavummiut were dreaming up TV shows they'd like to curl up with.
Using the hashtag #NunavutTVshows, people took existing TV show titles and gave them a distinctly Nunavut twist:

—@TeirersiasThere's no word yet on whether any of the shows will be picked up for a pilot, but if they do, here's hoping they'll be showcased on the next train to Iqaluit.
