We need to start producing infomercials

[pstokely]

and buy TV time, that's what the TV preachers do, Newsmax did it (although it was probably too late to have any effect)

1. Yes, that is a great idea.

And moveon (and others) should consider ads to dog every move they make. Sort of report of what the media won't.

2. i'm all about them.

I really dig the Time Life music ones. But politics--ooh boy--.. what better thing to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon or at 3 a.m.?

Of course, isn't the convention just one big infomercial? If you believe the media that is.

3. By we, do you mean "Democratic Underground?"

I wonder how much it would cost to run a DU informercial at 3 AM.

4. not much

you can buy airtime cheap at that hour in many small rural markets

7. If Skinner wants to do a fundraiser to air Democratic Undeground

informercials in rural areas, I'll chip in.

5. Great Idea

It's not too late to fight back.

6. We need to stop watching TV.

Completely.

8. Wow. This is a really good idea.

Anybody know how much it costs to air those?

I would gladly help produce them.

I help produce commercials right now anyway (I do the lighting). I could easily round up a crew to make the whole thing happen.
