MoveOn.org has launched a new effort, called Bush in 30 seconds, where anyone can make and submit a 30 second video about President Bush's sayings and doings, have it rated by visitors to the www.bushin30seconds.org site, have the top rated videos voted on by celebrities, and have the voter selected video aired on TV as a commercial during the week of Bush's 2004 State of the Union address. In the words of the site:
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, 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.
Check out the site, and also note the interesting inclusion of a discussion forum and the Creative Commons copyright requirement on the submitted videos. The whole show seems like it could be kind-of bloggy, with a dash of video and national TV thrown in.
