YET ANOTHER CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY MISSED..
So MoveOn.org recently held a contest that asked people to create a 30-second commercial talking about the evils of fake president Bush. The judges included people like Michael Moore, Moby, Janeane Garofalo, and, most importantly, Jack Black. Of course, I didn't find out about this until the final selections had already been made, but it's not like I really have the equipment or know-how to put together anything other than a Powerpoint show, so it's not like I would have actually entered, anyway. Enough...the final 15 videos are here. I highly recommend all of them. If you have like, crappy internet and stuff, then you should at least check out Hood Robbin', Desktop, and Leave No Billionaire Behind (funny), or Child's Pay, In My Country, Bring 'Em On (disturbing), or my overall favorite, What Are We Teaching Our Children.
Apparently, there were some cries from the Republicans when one of the submitted ads compared Bush's imperialistic foreign policies with those of Hitler. They are trying to discredit MoveOn, simply because some person, not affiliated in any way whatsoever with the website, submitted a subjective ad that made the comparisons. The issue is that they're afraid that MoveOn might actually be able to mobilize enough people through the internet to break their hold on our government. They're nervous...Why???
Well, I'm not even going to point out that Bush's grandfather was instrumental in bankrolling the rise of Hitler and the Nazis from the 1920s-40s. Oops...too late..(Google the following: NAZI,BUSH,WALKER,PRESCOTT,UNION NATIONAL BANK and you'll see what I mean).
