Headscratchers / Norm of the North

• Why would anyone want to live in the Arctic?
  • Money? On paper, it does sound like you could make a lot of money off of that idea, even if just in the short run.
  • People do live in the Arctic. Lots of them. Whole cities worth. There are settlements as far north as Svalbard. And no, the Arctic is not going to melt because it is not made of ice. Most of it is not even covered in snow all year round.
• If we bought into the idea of building luxury homes in the barren arctic, how would Norm's plan going along with Greene's plan to raise his approval rating to build homes in the arctic save his home? Sure he tries to turn against him, but wouldn't staying out of it be a better move, considering if he did, Greene would never get his approval rating?
• So how did Norm keep up the whole "actor in a polar bear costume" gig? Even if it was convincing, when he became Greene's official mascot he probably wouldn't be wearing the same suit he auditioned with. Unless it was custom-made, Greene wouldn't be allowed to use the likeness of the suit without copyright claims from the original company that made it. Greene should have figured out Norm's secret when no copyright infringements were filed.
• Why would Greene's approval ratings go up when he attacks Norm in the restaurant? Why would people approve of a man breaking into a public building and committing acts of terrorism against an animal?
