The Sixth Estate

Government Press Releases Now Being Written by 13 Year Olds

Or so I’m forced to conclude:

New Facility to Produce Wonder Material From Forests and Farms

It’s super strong, it’s green and it’s providing new opportunities for business in Alberta. It’s called nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and Alberta is about to become a leader in its production and study.

Oh my god! Yay!

The only possibly worse coverage comes from the local radio news:

It’s stronger than it’s steel and it’s made from plants and now Edmonton will be leading in its production. Its official name is nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC)…

Minister for Advanced Education and Technology, Greg Weadick, says it’s also extremely green.

Not just green, but extremely so!

  1. Many thanks for your time and effort to have decided to put these things together on this blog site. Josh and i also very much liked your ideas through the articles on certain things. I am aware that you have quite a few demands in your program therefore the fact that an individual like you took as much time like you did to help people just like us via this article is definitely highly valued.

    It would appear that the doughty Sixth Estate finally picked the wrong people to mess with and has now “disappeared.”
    Too bad, I’ll miss this place.

  3. Not at all, Chris!

    I’m on hiatus because I’m currently across the country finding my new residence in BC. Once that’s taken care of, I expect to be back to sharing my impotent rage with the world.

    Rats! I like wearing my tinfoil hat!

    Don’t know where you started from but new residence? Does that mean a new job too? Congratulations.
