If you were to do an ad for DU in any medium, what would it be like?

1. newspaper

I'd just have a black box with the website address on it.

I'd put it in a newspaper because I think liberals are more likely to get their news from the paper than from tv.

2. Magazine or paper

Splash text: ONLY BABY-EATING TRAITORS SURF DEMOCRATICUNDERGROUND.COM!

Text: Never, ever go there! They don't respect Our Great President. Can you imagine they say people should have the right to carry anti-Bush, anti-American and anti-God signs (pardon the redundancy) outside their wonderful Free Speech Zones(tm)? They want to brainwash YOUR children into NOT HATING DEMONRATS! Do YOU want your God-fearing, blonde, wholesome Republican children to grow up like THAT? My, most of the posters there don't even like the PATRIOT act! And they admit all kinds of undesirable people as members -- gays, latinos, welfare single moms -- even people former President George H. W. Bush specifically said are NOT patriots and NOT citizens, like (gasp) atheists!!! These people should just SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

4. Thanks

There's an advertising writer hidden somewhere inside this computer programmer. I even attended an advertising course a few years ago. I love this stuff.

6. That ad is good because it works on you on so many levels

to make it potentially very memorable.

7. So, do you have any ideas?

I'm PM'ing you the text and e-mailing it to myself for future reference. DU threads are not what I would call long-term storage.

10. Not yet. I have to go out into the snow and think about it.

Thanks for the PM. I'll read it when I get home.

medium: radio

{{music playing; something kind of edgy, somewhere between techno and rock, intersparsed with some of GWB's dumbest/most treasonous quotes. Also quotes from * cabinet members}}

{{voice over, still with the music}} In 2000 he stole the election, since then he has cost us something worth more than money. He's cost us our freedom. Help fight back, join the Democratic Underground and let's take our country back!

{{Finish off with GWB's "A dictator ship not so bad if I were in charge"* quote}}

*paraphrased obviously
