The Living Room Candidate
Karin Ponce writes "I represent the American Museum of the Moving Image , and I wanted to write to you about the Museum's latest online exhibition, The Living Room Candidate. The exhibition maintains a comprehensive and detailed collection of over 300 commercials from the past fourteen elections (1954-2000). As the presidential race heats up, I think this is a very timely exhibition that will equip your readers with insight on the development of the campaign messages crafted by our presidential candidates over the years and provide historical context for the 2004 campaign as the race unfolds. Its convenience (all commercials are available online in the Living Room Candidate website) make this exhibit a must-see for voters and non-voters."
A site with multiple streamed videos, this is sure to last.
I picture a place with a big sign outside that reads: I Can't Believe It's A Museum!
Oh, they're historic campaign commercials ... oh, OK, nevermind ... no Slashdot Effect to worry about!
"I represent the American Museum of the Moving Image, and I wanted to write to you to ask you for your help in melting our Web server, bringing our entire site to a halt. I think this is something your audience would find particular interest in doing."
I could not justify my existence if I were a turkey farmer. Would I terminate myself? Undoubtably, yes.
must-see for voters and non-voters
What about for the rest of us!?
Perhaps you meant, "...if they're educated..."

oh damn
that the minor inconvenience and detention of some rich foreign bastards is more important than the right of the american people to get to the bottom of the worst slaughter of their fellow citizens in the history of this country?
maybe in the world of marie antoinette and "let them eat cake" does ferreting away the poor betrodden discomforted inconvenienced bin ladens make sense
but i have to beg to differ with you: they should have been detained, and questioned, period, end of story... no logic employing what we know now serving as judgment about what happened in retrospect need apply
the bin ladens should not have been coddled and serviced, they should have been detained and questioned
and any suggestion to the latter is of questionable elitism at work, not logic or judgment or the taking of the interests and well-being of the voting american public first and foremost
which is exactly the whole problem that bush and his ilk have: allegiance to the ultrarich and big oil instead of the average american, and why kerry should force that issue to the forefront with attack ads to help his campaign
ps: while kerry is a rich bastard himself, i scarcely see the american government ever invading italy so as to secure the safety of our precious precious tomatoes so the heinz kethcup industry not suffer
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Well, since you said (And I quote)"Don't be satisfied with the lesser of two evils."
Why vote for a lesser evil?

If your commercial interrupts my enjoyment of the program I'm watching, I'm remembering your ad and voting against you. And yes, I'll hold 527 ads against whomever I can discern as benefitting from your ads. So far, I'm only voting against Bush and Kerry. I'll expand that list if I only see someone else's ad.
