Anti-Bush video and infomercial idea.
Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 09:58 PM by gulliver
Here is an idea I don't have the money or expertise to make happen.

There is a large and growing body of video out there showing Bush for the jerk he is. You don't even have to add any narrative or captioning to that video to expose Bush. You just have to show Bush literally just being Bush, and he's screwed.

So here is the idea. Anyone who wants to use it, please feel free. Or add to it, or whatever...

We put together a video of nothing but Bush being his jerk self. Then we advertise it using an infomercial, sort of like they do with the "Girls Gone Wild" videos and the Gazelle Freestyle. All the infomercial would show is large portions of the video itself. Proceeds from sales would go to ... more infomercial time.

With this approach, one could end up with a self-funding, constantly running infomercial of Bush doing and saying the ludicrously self-centered, ridiculous, sneaky, untruthful things he has actually done and said. It would be "Bush Gone Wild".

Sample list of things that could go in the video (if I have missed any, please add your faves).

1. "Mr. Lay supported my opponent."
1a. Images of the Bushes and Lay together.
1b. Images of Bush's handwritten notes to Lay
2. "There's a whiff of politics..." (The DUI debacle.)
3. "What is this, fifty questions?" (Where he blew foreign policy questions)
4. "Now watch this drive." (Said right after denouncing suicide bombers if I recall)
5. "Sometimes accounting is not black and white."
6. "Looks like I hit the trifecta"
7. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, er, uh..."
8. "Que bueno. Now I'm literate in two languages"
9. Nigergate 16 words in SOTU
10. "Al Qaeda in Iraq"
11. Image of Bush with Kofi Annan with goofy look.
12. Image of Bush with mean look.
13. Image of Bush "waiting" and looking out from behind a flag.
13a. Image of Bush writing something on a flag with a black marker.
14. Bush sitting for 5 minutes at Booker school reading goat book.

1. End the Video With
A black screen and Dumbya saying "There ought to be limits to freedom." Then have it fade to the American flag and the words "Vote Democratic."

2. Gulliver, have you been peeking inside my brain????
I have sooooo been thinking the very same thing. If done well, it could be very effective. My thoughts
1. Dubya, making fun of Karla Faye Tucker.
2. Dubya, with the trifecta "joke".
3. Dubya, with Bring em on.
4. Dubya, with there ought to limits on freedom.
5. Dubya, this is would be a great place for a dictatorship, as long as I am the dictator.


I am sure there are lots more.

:kick:

3. More stuff
Image of Bush* strutting across aircraft carrier deck under the "Mission Accomplished" banner, followed by the "Bring em on" quote, followed by a screen showing the total number of American soldiers killed in Iraq since Bush* declared victory.
