Pass it on...
Lady Bunny has a great blog on her Myspace page http://www.myspace.com/ladybunnymusic, but I was compelled to pass on this message.....
"MTV just started accepting political ads. And the first political ad that millions of young people will see is a negative attack on Barack Obama—saying he's "worse than a flip-flopper" and accusing him of no longer being against the war.1 It's outrageous.
The Republicans' strategy is clear: kill the hope that's brought millions of new young voters out of the woodwork.
We can't let that happen. And as it turns out, we've got a funny, positive, hopeful way to fight back.
The "funniest ad" award winner in our Obama in 30 Seconds contest is a perfect counterpoint to the cynicism-mongering ad on MTV. Plus, it was made by actor (and MoveOn member) Rider Strong.
We just found out that we can run this ad on MTV and Comedy Central (as their first political ad ever) for $150,000. If 6000 of us contribute $25, we can do it. Can you check out the ad below—and if you like it, will you chip in to get it on the air?

Was just having a conversation about how much MTV sucks yesterday....reality shows are now priority, not music which really is a depressing sign of our times. I still watch MTV2 but apparantly the ratings are really low....and I'm hardly their core demographic!......which begs the question: Does everyone out there actually WANT watch shows about the mundanities of
boring celebrity lives......? This isn't a rehearsal you know, don't waste precious hours watching Jodie Marsh or whoever wiping their a*** - please!.....aspire at least to quality tv like CSI, The Sheild....Family Guy.....America's Next Top Model.....um, Australia's Next Top Model.....aaah, what was I saying........??
