NEW Symbolman Flash Attack ad - "Furious George Goes to the Debate"
"Furious George Goes to the Debate"!!

Someone here posted this originally so I made a Flash Attack Ad out of it and added some fun music (Beck - "I'm a Loser Baby") - love to give credit to whoever did the concept, but it was too good to pass up..

I love this one, it's a lot of fun, tell yer pals - pass it around and get the word out :)

Good to be back, been through a lot of hell lately, but we're working on a DVD about elections and that's taking up all my time.

Enjoy!

1. That is brilliant. And I love the music, never thought of Beck that way.

15. so why don't you kill him?
:)

joking, that's just about the only lines I actually "get" from the whole song.. but I love it anyway -- good CHIMP line in there..

actually felt the need to put a disclaimer in there so the SS won't show up and think I was advocating offing Bush, nothing could be further from our goal -- I make the point of ALWAYS saying, "By all non violent means"..

you never know with these guys, remember, one guy got sent to the slammer for 30 months in a Fed pen for making a joke about a "burning bush" in a BAR, NOT TO MENTION the guy was on meds for being crazy in the first place..

go figure huh?

27. The fun part is
is that there is definately some mention of a chimp or monkey in this song right at the start.. that's what caught my attention when I thought of adding it..

then of course there's the LOSER aspect :)

2. Good to see you!
This is very funny -- I saw the static cartoon earlier, but synching it up to 'Loser' is great!

4. Another example of less being more!!!
Nice to hear from you, Symbolman--how are your other projects going?

:headbang:

P.S. Can someone please tell me what the lyrics before "I'm a loser baby/so why don't you kill me" is? It's like listening to "Louie Louie!"

10. Working on
our film (DVD) which will be coming out soon - getting the trailer together for it now..

it kicks ass, informative, got some Big names in it, and a LOT of fun -- doing things like standing outside of the white house demanding that we all be allowed to pool our money so we can sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom, stuff like that :)

thanks for asking, hope you're kicking out the jams?

11. I just came across the post that inspired you
Here it is, for those who haven't seen the original. I like what you did more than ever because you kept to the storybook simplicity and try to make it "bigger" than it was.

Is there going to be music on the DVD? I hope the help you asked me for was useful to you.

20. Send me all you got
or links - I was travelling for almost three months getting footage (plus my little sabbatical in an Alabama jail - which I believe to be political) so anything I've been sent is sitting in a pile waiting to be gone through..

but you've got the taste we need and we want a good variety as well..

thanks,appreciate it,

sym

19. I wished I'd done that and even thought of it
but it was 3am and the little things go right out the window when you are pooped.. been spending all my time (til 3am every night) getting our film (DVD) together - mostly doing the trailer, our film crew is assembing the film far, far away from where I am..

thanks for the thought, all props to doing it right :)

7. I still say
After Tony Blair, and Silvio and Alexsander there should be a big Yeaaarrggh! If we can equate this in people's mind to the "Dean Scream", that would be the best thing yet.

9. I posted at the same time she did
and we gave each other kudos, glad she liked what I did, I certainly love her creation and didn't want to step all over it, but I thought this one needed to get out there..

great job, shewhomustbeobeyed!

16. Where IS Malloy
now? Isn't he at Air America now? Sheesh, used to just call him up and gab all the time -- got his email? Could you write him for me, I hate to toot my horn, doesn't look to good for me to do that..

I'd appreciate that, now that he's a star there I doubt if I could even get through :)

thanks so much PP, you've always been there for us.. when we get the film done I'll send you one personally, but you need to trade it for a pic that you have of all the DU'rs at the San Francisco gig where we dressed up as Cheney and Bush and threw money at people from that 1937 Rolls ROyce convertible..

I still feel the sweat pouring from that mask :)

17. Oh yeah
it really IS a lot of fun, I get so sick of these movies with nothing but a talking head next to a computer and some books, one after the other..

we have FUN while we are doing it, we've had many Security guys come after us, CHIPS, cops, the works.. got it on film..

fighting for rights is hard work, just ask Bush how HARD it is, he'll tell you thirty times in the same sentence :)

thanks!

26. Yeah, it's funny...
...how uneasy folks in Washington DC get about setting tripods up near government buildings! Handheld cameras = OK, but tripods = up to no good!

30. I hope he gets "Furiouser" on Wednesday night...
I wanna see him blow his stack and show the world what a spoiled-rotten little drug-addled fratboy he really is.
