If you haven’t already gone over to MoveOn.org’s Bush in 30 Seconds site, you should do so. MoveOn fielded these ads from the public, held a vote on which were the best, and they’re amassing funding to run these ads in swing states. This is one of the best activist uses of media I’ve seen in a while, and I’m convinced it has a chance to work. I had some trouble getting to the first round of voting because of website issues, so I missed voting on the fifteen finalists — which are now apparently subject to vote by a panel including Michael Moore, Gus Van Sant, Margaret Cho, Janeane Garofalo, and others — but we can all still vote on the funniest ad, best youth market ad, and best animated ad. Good stuff!
