"Our Media is Broken" Sinclair Flash attack ad with resources

[symbolman]

Here it is, I said I'd put something together, I hope there are enough resources at the end for people to get some action going.

All the links are clickable and will help with this cause, use this please and pass it around, the more people that get it the more damage we can do to those bastards!

Turn up your speakers and please keep this thread kicked so we can get the word out with MEDIA :)

Hope you like, my pleasure...

3. nice work...as usual :-)

4. Media Revolution!

That is the precise ground zero of the problem now! In an age of information it is the media that is the battleground. Spread the word!

We CANNOT have a true Democracy without a free, unbiased media. This cannot be the best Democracy that money can buy or it is doomed for certain.

Hail to all of you who see this as a major issue and an important problem.

5. Thanks to all

Yep, the media is the root cause.. it's actually considered "reality" by some people :)

Please, if you can, write to Bartcop and Buzzflash and DailyKos, hell, maybe even Atrios.. I'm too pooped, worked on this for two days..

many thanks!

7. That's dynamite! ... Thanks, Symbolman.

6. Damn, Symbolman

Once again, I couldn't load it. (Isn't there ANY way you can trim bytes out of these things?? I wanna see it!!!)

I'll pass it around, but some of my email buddies are in worse shape than I am computer- and dial-up connectin-wise.

I'm sure it's amazing, but ... oh well. :-(

16. Maybe you need the plugin?

you might try to go to http://www.macromedia.com and get the lastest Flash plugin - they put out a new one about every 15 minutes which drives flash designers nuts..

I even save these as Flash 5 instead of 6 so that people with older plugins can use it, but you might try that..

I have tested this at 56K and it will work, it just takes some waiting..

sorry, if I had the money I'd send you a computer that you can watch it on, cos you've always been so great here with your posts.. :)

9. Kick!

[anarchy1999]

11. Everyone nominate this for the front page tonight.

This is deserving and belongs there with all the rest of Sinclair's ugly business.

[anarchy1999]

12. Kicking back to the very top for everyone.

Help to put this on the front page. Skinner where are you?

[symbolman]

17. Thanks Symbolman....I'm still waiting for the connection to download

and I thought I had the newest Flash...but your site must be swamped.

I'm sure it's good and will pass it along to friends who aren't on "Dial Up like myself!

:toast:

20. Our Media ARE Broken!

Is our children learning?

[symbolman]

22. Well..

YOu wil obviously never be elected Presidunce of the New Nighted States of Merica :)

You would however make a fine PRESIDENT so get cracking, lol..

thanks for the correction, I failed in english in Catholic school - I still can't go to Penguin Island at the Zoo, thanks to nuns with Ruler Holsters and quick reactions :)

[troubleinwinter]

21. It is just GRAND!!!! THANK YOU so much!!!!!!!!!

[nostalgicaboutmyfutr]

23. Another idea for you...

Symbolman...here is a nother idea for a flash...

I would suggest the following ad:

Pictures of blood stained hands working furiously to get them clean under running water....trying different soaps....changing the water tempature...the hands just seemed stained with blood

but the hands just can't get clean....

Voice over of Bush quotes or speeches as appropriate trying to say what a great job the war is doing...

Suggestions...maybe a flash to pass around?

[symbolman]

24. Believe me, if I had any kind of funding

I would be making flash works all day, every day.. but we don't get the kind of donations that would allow that. Each time I think a flash is going to get the attention of someone with bucks to fund more of them, but I just keep making them for virtually free..

and with a baby on the way it makes it more important to get $$$ - hard, esp in Bush's economy..

but thanks for the idea and the props,

best to your and yours :)

25. superb

excellent work, have sent it around to all. Keep smiling at the mother, she needs positive vibes to create a new one in these times.

[symbolman]

26. Gonna be born on Christmas

yeah, she's the virgin, I've been through this before..

Kerry WINNING is a nice positive thought, maybe Sinclair getting BUSTED by the FCC, tho we might have to wait for PRESIDENT (man will it feel GOOD to be able to say that word again) Kerry to appoint someone other than another politically inbred nepotist..

thanks, heard positive vibes work.. always worked when I was making beer - you have to imbue it with happy talk so it makes you happy to drank it :)

thanks for passing this around, get the word out!
