[Mr.Atos]

So: Sick of the propaganda being beamed at you from the current administration's media mavens? Here's a new way to fight back: Enter MoveOn.org Voter Fund's political ad contest. You don't have to be formally trained in the art of filmmaking, just ready, willing and able to create an ad that tells the truth about George Bush.

All eligible submissions will be posted on this web site and rated by visitors. The top rated ads will then be voted on by our panel of esteemed judges , including Michael Moore, Donna Brazile, Jack Black, Janeane Garofalo, Margaret Cho and Gus Van Sant. The winning ad idea will be broadcast on television during the week of Bush's 2004 State of the Union address, and the winner will receive a recording of the ad as broadcast.

To enter, just make a 30 second ad and submit it through this web site. Submissions will be accepted between November 24th and December 5th, 2003 and voting on the site will run between December 15th and December 30th, 2003.

Before you make your entry, you'll want to review the submission guidelines, and if you really want to know all the details, you can review the official rules. Good luck! We look forward to seeing your submission.

Want to help spread the word about the contest? Just download and post this poster in places where entrants might hang out.

Update: We were expecting 300-400 submissions, but over 1500 have come in. As a result of the huge interest, it's taking us a little longer than expected to process and post the ads. Voting will begin on this site at 9:00am PST on Wednesday, December 17th.

Just for grins, maybe I'll send this in to Michael Moore's attention ?? ...

It is not advisable... to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.

Or Mark Twain (from memory): "Better to be silent and have people think you a fool, than open your mouth or remove all doubt."

My Submission:

[Silent image of President Bush speaking]

Announcer: "George W. Bush."

[Image halts, blurs, the word "LIES" appears, small, at center of screen, quickly grows to fill the entire screen. Three small, B&W pictures of Bush appear in a row across the screen.]

Announcer: "He said he's for tax cuts, but then he turned around and decreased taxes!!!

[With the word "decreased, picture of Bush is turned upside down, with sound effect.]

"He said he'd improve the economy."But in fact economic numbers are actually swelling!!!"

[with the word "swelling," second pic of Bush flips over.]

"He said he'd represent you democratically. But then he pre-emptively, unilaterally ousted Saddam Hussein, the democratically elected leader of Iraq!!!"

[Third pic of Bush flips over.]

"Strike three, George--you're out!

"George W. Bush: Evil. Liar. Spawn of Satan."

[Mr.Atos]

It should begin an end with the video sequence from "The Ring."
