The last call for entries!
Dear friend,
This is just a friendly reminder that the last day on which you can submit an ad for the Bush in 30 Seconds ad contest is tomorrow, Friday December 5th. At midnight PST or thereabouts, we'll turn off the submissions page.
(If you've already submitted your ad -- ignore this message.)
After that point, unfortunately, we can't accept any submissions -- not if your dog ate your video file or your hard drive crashed or even if Karl Rove messed up your DSL service. So, we recommend starting the submission process as soon as possible. That way, if something goes wrong, you have a few hours to figure it out.
You can submit your ad(s) online at:
http://www.bushin30seconds.org/ads/submitinfo.html
We've received over 500 entries so far, and we're really looking forward to launching the voting phase of the contest. Stay tuned for more details on how to vote on the ads, starting on December 15th.
Thanks,
The Bush in 30 Seconds Team
Also, they've made some new additions to our judging panel. I guess Michael Moore is on the outside lookin in.
We'd like to welcome Benny Boom, Al Franken, Ted Hope, Jessica Lange, Michael Mann and Russell Simmons. For the complete list, check out:

Stay posted for online voting on the ads, starting December 15th, 2003.
I think its cool that they are reaching out to the community rather than picking just one company. Besides, they are putting the money into the air time they have to buy in the end.
A web submission is there til Dec 5, makes you wonder if they might have come up short, maybe.
Starting today, and running through December 5th, you can submit your ad to the Bush in 30 Seconds contest. Just go to the contest website at:moveon.org
This looks to be a last gasp for Kazaa which the public will have no impact on in the end cus they aren't strong enough to risk to embrace it or even buy-in to the pay-per-download model. There's gonna just be other software the downloaders will gravitate towards after Kazaa. Without compulsary (or blanket) licenses, the P2P model will fail as a commercial model. Unfortunately for many, the "all you can eat" model will not exist for some time as the transition from retail to web has not effectively taken place yet.
Though unit sales are down overall, it appears that the market is seeing an upturn, proven to be caused by an interest in mp3 players, duh!. IPods are creating a market where people now collect mp3's off their computers and in the back pocket. Jeez, the walkman saved the industry last time, when cassettes (and later CD's) were introduced widely. Just not sure if commercial sales of Itunes will save the industry as much as train the next generation of music buyers.
Well now the've done it. The superpowers in the music industry have dropped the price of CD's hoping people will come back. Or is it a desperate attempt to hike the units sales (not revenues) so somebody buys the company. Sure dont think its part of the NBC package, unless NBC is willing to sell downloads like these other monkeys.

Dear Bush in 30 Seconds folks,
The submissions process is over, and by last Friday night over 1,500 ads were submitted. Over 800 came in on Friday alone. We're amazed and gratified by both the quantity and the quality of the ads, and you will be, too -- you'll be able to browse through them and vote for your favorite ad starting early next week.
Although the great majority of the ads were submitted with no problems, a few participants ran into last-minute technical snags and were not able to get their ad in on time. In fairness to all of the folks who blew off work and made personal sacrifices to upload their ads by the deadline, we can't accept any of these ads for the contest. But, in recognition of the hard work people put into the ads, we'd like to keep track of them for future use. While we can't guarantee anything right now, we'll try to find ways to make sure that people see the late ads as well.
If you'd like us to keep track of your ad, please fill out the survey at:

Thanks for helping to make the first stage of Bush in 30 Seconds a wild success.
Sincerely,
The Bush in 30 Seconds team.
