Debut [day-bew]

Forest Gump – popular American movie

One of the fondest memories Canadians have of the late 90s is of the North American house hippo, a petite creature allegedly found “throughout Canada, and the eastern United States.” It made its debut in a national PSA that aimed to educate viewers about critical thinking with regard to what they see in broadcast media. The message was simple – don’t believe everything you see on television.
