Better LATE than NEVER, from the San Francisco Chronicle:

Posted on 09/15/2002 7:01 PM Pacific by ElkGroveDan

News flash: Republican Bill Simon creates a Web site (www.e-gray.com) to highlight Gov. Gray Davis' fund-raising excesses. The "California laws for sale" site parodies the look of EBay, the online auction house.

Background: The humor is edgy and clever ("Avoid annoying health warning labels on your products!" or "Delay a competing plumbing product -- A great deal on another government-enforced monopoly!") but each "auction item" is supported by a news story linking the governor's actions to campaign contributions.

Upshot: A rare sign of intelligence in the Simon campaign. It's the most devastatingly effective campaign Web site we've seen this year.

Quote: "Auction currency is U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. Direct deposit into the Gray Davis for Governor Committee accounts is available..."

I wonder what prompted them to do so? :o)

LOL! So this is the "NEW" media?
The Internet will make THEM irrelevant, just as it has the "old" media...
