Not for the faint of heart

thebratqueenMoveon.org sponsored a contest called "Bush in 30 Seconds" where they asked people to contribute 30 second commercial spots with the hope of finding new and creative ads which would illustrate to people the damage Bush has done during his 3 years in office. The winning ad is going to be aired during the week of Bush's state of the union address. They've narrowed it down to fifteen finalists. Some are obviously better than others, but they've all got a strong emotional impact (hence my subject heading).
Personally I'm hoping either "In My Country" or "What are we teaching our children?" wins. I think those are the ones with the greatest chance of getting not only the full message across (as opposed to "Bush lied about Iraq") and of being heard. I think a few of the others give the viewer too much leeway to say "Eh, let's hear Bush's response to this" as opposed to "My God, that asshole needs to be out of office NOW".
Anyway, I'm pimping the link. Here's hoping the final ad has some kind of impact.
