Any DUers fancy themselves as caustically funny? Submissions for...

[roseBudd]

A DUer has purchased the domain bushcheated04.com, as the RNC failed to tie that one up. The preliminary design can be seen on its staging server:

The subject matter is all things election fraud. That means felon lists, tabulation fraud, suppression, even campaign lies.

Think uncensored, mean and nasty. Cast of characters would include "Baby Bro Jeb" "Uncle Tom Blackwell" and "Mighty Mouse Finger Guy" AKA Karl Rove. Song Parodies, PhotoShoppers and Comix artists encouraged.

Got caustically funny copy talent but no PhotoShop ability? You provide the dialog, I can provide the PhotoShopping.

3. I have decided to treat bushcheated04.com like a silent movie

That means I need a coherant melodramatic narrative in between the images with their speech bubbles. Any students of the silent cineam willing to give tips or lend a hand?

4. you mean, with decorative Art Nouveau-type title slides?

Well, it would fit in with the Gilded Age/Robber Baron Era motif nicely!

[roseBudd]

5. Yes and melodramatic music

I may check out some silent era DVds from the library.

The villians:

Baby Bro Jeb as the Florida hench man

and Uncle Tom Blackwell as the Ohio hit man

have to tie in the Warren County shenanigans also

6. my suggestions

quick little brainstorm. piano music (ragtime), skipped frames, jumpcuts, sepia tone, occasional flecks, intermission.

sets would be bar, street in front of bar, train. cliff.

bank robbery/poll robbery. gambling machine/polling machine. cardgames/ballotshenanigans.

now you just need some jokes.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

7. another thing

cut down on the wordiness. silent movies would have minutes of visual and music with no test "dialogue" or text "narration". If youre going to rely on still images you will need to place the characters in interesting visual environments. you could use a template of 6 different backgrounds to place your characters against. to create a "unity"

[roseBudd]

8. Obviously I have no actors, just still images that news photographers

have taken of the "villians" Blackwell, Glenda Hood, Karl Rove, Jeb Bush.

Now when a movie is made about a true event the screen writer fills in the details. So knowing election fraud 04 does not have to be proven and that this is a parody, how would the story be told?

So far I have Rove as the central tabulator vote manipulator, but right now I am thinking of introducing a villian who is the mastermind behind the tabulation fraud, and that the villians just let Rove think he was the "fixer"

Perhaps that villian could be from Warren County.

10. You've just gotta throw in Katherine Harris

as the Evil Shrew. I mean it's just type casting at its finest.

[roseBudd]

13. Yes I plan to use Harris any DUers got good pics of her?

[roseBudd]

14. And Glenda Hood

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. Ann coulter pointing finger at camera and saying

"And don't you ever forget: YOU are the oppressors and WE are the victims! Now where's my baseball bat?"

[progmom]

12. naw, I'm just caustic. not funny.

[Arkana]

15. I consider myself pretty good with sarcastic humor, but

I'm no Photoshopper or artiste.

[roseBudd]

16. I am the PhotoShopper I just need some help or suggestions for the

narration. It needs to be structured like a screen play. And the cool part is we don't have to prove anything. So we can just say, Warren County OH commited tabulation fraud. We can just say that Karl Rove directed Sprague & Associates to tear up dem registrations.

[Arkana]

17. We could say that Dick n' George's thugs intimidated Americans

into voting for them. Oh, wait...

FEAR! FEAR! 9/11! FEAR! FEAR!

YOU'RE SAFER THAN EVER, BUT YOU COULD ALL DIE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT!

[roseBudd]

18. Exactly, because BUSH CHEATED covers all types of fraud including campaign

lies. To include everything will require a linear narrative I think.

[roseBudd]

19. On second thought, maybe it should be modeled after "Behind the Music"

Brainstorm anyone?
