I got this in email and thought some creative types around here might like to participate.
--------------------------
Today, MoveOn.org Voter Fund is launching Bush in 30 Seconds, a political TV ad contest to help us find the most creative, clear and memorable ideas for ads that tell the truth about George Bush's policies. You don't have to be trained in the art of filmaking to participate, you just need to be ready, willing, and able to turn your clever ideas into a real 30 second ad. We want to run ads that are of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Joining us in this effort is a great panel of celebrity judges, including Jack Black, Michael Moore, Donna Brazile, Gus Van Sant, Michael Stipe, Margaret Cho, and Moby (there's a full list on the site below). MoveOn members will pick 15 finalists; the panelists will pick the winning ad and help generate some good press coverage for it.

The prize? Just in case getting your work seen by our judges and thousands on our web site isn't enough, we'll put the winning ad on TV during the week of Bush's State of the Union Address. All 15 finalists will also be featured in an email to the MoveOn membership. The ad doesn't need to have TV production values -- it's the idea that counts. We'll reshoot the winning ad if we need to in order to air it.

Interested in making a 30-second spot for Bush in 30 Seconds? Check out the website below for more details. Know someone who might be willing and able to make a great ad? Please pass this message on.

You can learn more about the contest and get the complete guidelines at:
http://www.bushin30seconds.org/

If you have an idea for an ad, but not the time or the equipment to shoot it, you can post your ideas on our discussion board at:
http://www.bushin30seconds.org/ideaswap.html

Willing to help spread the word? Download the poster at the link below, print up a bunch of copies, and post it where likely participants might see it.

Good luck and have fun!

Wow, some left-wingers have a lot of time on their hands.

Makes Hannity, Rush, and Regan look pretty sane to me.

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

Naaah, nothin' makes Hannity look sane.

Okay, maybe Ann Coulter, but...

---
I has a flavor!

I didn't see anything insane on the site. Dull, yes. Then again, being called insane by DragonXero is like being called a junkie by Rush Limbaugh. :-P lool

What others say about boorite!

Bush is a brainless, no-talent sock puppet.

There.

You may use the other 27 seconds any way you like.

Won't the end result of such a propaganda machine only be interesting to people who already despise Bush? And in this way is it not just an act of tedious rhetorical masturbation?

Vote Jeb Bush 2008

Like the images of Bush landing on the aircraft carrier or American soldiers draping the American flag over Saddam's statue in Baghdad?

---
Think classy, you'll be classy.

The snaggletoothed boot could be called "MaKK_BeNN" and the other one could be called "boorite," and they could argue futilely back and forth for 27 seconds. But somehow I think that would be just about as tedious.

Bush is such a good president.

from the same article:

But despite the massive boost to the economy, some economists are warning that growth - forecast at about 4% for the final quarter and into next year - could stumble if the US's jobs drought continues.

Almost 3 million jobs have gone since 2001 despite a surge in productivity, reflecting companies' decision to work staff harder rather than expand payrolls.

Future expansion could depend on whether or not the growth translates to hiring at long last, economists predict.

---

at least he's pro-isreal and something of a moralist :p

I fail to see the morality in Bush's policies.

What are you talking about? The economy is doing great! Thanks Bush! ;)

Vote Jeb Bush 2008

I like Bush, but I'm not a big fan of Dick. :P

Yeah, old joke. Anyway, being serious now, even if this 30 second commercial doesn't do anything to change people's minds, a chance to bash Bush should never be passed on. Maybe someone will make a funny and/or clever commercial that all us "dumbocrats" can laugh at.

Dumbocrats! Ha! That's a good one! ;)

Didn't we just have a SOTU address?

---
Mediocrity at its most average.

You mean a drunk driver with a silver coke spoon up his nose?

---
What others say about boorite!

I was being facetious, mAAk. "Dumbocrats" is something that the junkie known as Rush Limbaugh likes to say.

"Pop some more pills, pillhead!" :)

---

I'm glad Rush implored us not to view him as a hero.

---
What others say about boorite!

I know! God bless that man! ;)

Get better soon Rush!!!

Love boorite and mAAk

Vote Jeb Bush 2008

I'm trying to decide between focusing on one thing (like how this is the most secretive admin, but they strip privacy away from the rest of America) and going the shotgun route (using a new setting to show how insane his actions are in general). And I keep thinking of him as a spoiled brat on a playground.

I'll send something. Someone will send something better. As long as Bush gets booted out - that's the main thing.

... Rush a moralist... that was worth a laugh.

Why not thank Bush for the roaring economy!

Four more years! Four more years!

Looks like those tax cuts are working!! ;)

And how. I blew my 300.00 on outfitting and expanding my business so that it could enter into new market channels with a competitive stance, vis-a-vis the global consultancy industry for installation design, and completely upgrading our IT and manufacturing infrastructures.

Oh, wait... no. Sorry. I made a MasterCard payment and bought a few groceries with mine.

My bad.

---
I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

I don't care much for Bush either anymore, but I still must pose this question: Who would you have replace him? Another demoralized icon for the upper-class to manipulate? When it all comes down to the nitty gritty, it's all the same with a different face. Putting someone else in office isn't going to make things better, it's just going to make the jokes we make about our leader different.
