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.
I probably should have tagged this with a 'Barf' alert, but the effort will surely end up face down on some toilet floor in a puddle of its own filth. Mr. Moore is no doubt a perfect judge in that regard. I do look forward to viewing the submissions.
Which ad best tells the truth about George W. Bush? Starting on December 17th, you'll be able to vote on each submission at this website. If you sign up for our email updates, you can be among the first to know when the voting begins.
Jack Black!
Oh crap!...someone else I like that has to be moved to my sh*t list.
Porker central.
Does anyone know if the Smurfberry Crunch commercial Black did as a kid is Kazaa yet?
Hope I don't see Cusak show up on one of these lists.
Sorry to let you know, but Cusack is an avowed Bush-hater and another Hollywood lib. There's a few sites out there that list stupid things celebs say... www.hollywoodhalfwits.com is one.
I usually ignore what these idiots say anyway. I like them for their work, but I don't have to like them personally. After all, if I boycotted all the liberal actors, comedians, and musicians, I would never be able to attend any movies or buy any music.
Oh I agree with you and I pick and choose.
But if they are loudmouths who are activists and go onto moveon.org etc., I WILL drop them.
I agree. They are 'muses' performing for our amusement, and nothing more. I don't solicit their negligable talents in the field of political commentary or ideological analysis. My reaction to their statements is "He/She said what?... so why should I care?" Admittedly it does cause me to re-evaluate my judgment of that person's perceived character and sometimes I simply don't wish to see their work any longer, as in the case of sarandon. Its too bad, I would have liked to have watched The Children of Dune. The first was done so well. Cusack, Penn, Ford, Depp and even Vigo M. all posess tremendous talents regardless of their judgemental shortcomings. Cusack is my contemporary, so I will cut him even more slack in the hope that age and wisdom may in time do for him what it did for me... enable a reflection on the logical contradictions and make necessary corrections.
moore should simply lay off the donuts as cannibalism is immoral. He's less than joke... which is often funny.
There is a great line from Atlas Shrugged that I always recall when I hear another muse attempt to elevate their meager significance to sophist politicus. (Mr. Willers, you may appreciate this)"
It is not advisable... to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.(Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957)
As for this contest... I feel like someone is about to send me a free crate of ammunition. I'll be heading to the range soon and often.
The judges are garbage. The organization is garbage. Logically, therefore, the results of this contest will be garbage. Did I miss anything?

Not that I can think of, Mr. Friend... Unless, if you assumed that I ever took it seriously in the first place. I expect it will be pythonesque in subject matter; like a foot race between a narcoleptic, a blind man, and a runner with incontinence.
Moonbats and their pathologies on parade! It should be extremely amusing to say the least.
