Anti-Bush TV Ads
If you have a fat internet connection and dislike the Bush administration, you’re going to thoroughly enjoy this. MoveOn.org is cranking out yet another ab-fab project: “Bush in 30 seconds“. They’ve launched a competition for best 30-second ad spot damning the current US government and all it’s bullshit lieing and destruction. And the entries are grrrrreat.
The first round of voting is over and the 15 top nominees are being submitted to a panel of judges. Boingboing is reporting that the top two picks will be run bracketing the next state of the union address, although I can’ find any confirmantion of that on the official website and I’m unsure of the feasibilty of getting the networks to play them then.
So watch them now, watch them all! They run from apocalyptic to goofy, and feature lots of kids kids kids. I busted a gut and got the chills. What more do you want from TV? The only downside to this is that they probably can’t get them all onto the air. This is quality stuff.
(you’ll need quicktime to watch these. if you don’t have it, you can get the official version here or a hacked apple-free replacement here.)
While you’re at it, buy a “blood for oil” bumper sticker at www.billionairesforbush.com and have a poke around the moveon.org website. MoveOn is to information-era politics what Greenpeace was to environmentalism in the 80s.
