Political Ads Reach P2P World

Posted by michael on from the missing-the-point-of-advertising dept.

samuel4242 writes " Some of the Creative Commons folks wrapped a skin around the Internet Archive to create the P2P-Politics site filled with ads about this election. You've heard of this election, right? It's an interesting spin on the notion of P2P because the ads themselves are cached on the Internet Archives big servers, but email forwards links from P to P. Sort of like passing a pointer instead of the data structure. Some of the ads are thoughtful, some include stars, and some are a bit scary. For some reason, there seem to be very few from the Bush supporters and it's anyone's guess why."

  1. Bush is a genius. People just don't understand him by Adolph_Hitler · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Bush is literally a genius. People don't understand his logic. Why won't they see the beauty of chaos? Peace has a price. The price of peace is constant war. In order to have peace on earth and prevent wars, we must be the ones to start all the wars. If we start and win all the wars then we can install a world government through force and act as the world global police. This is the best way to be secure, if we are the police we will always have the best weapons. The war in Iraq is a war for peace. Why do you refuse to see the beauty of war? War is peace. The war in Iraq was a catasrophic success.

    The Internet is where the godless go to view child porn. Once you find Jesus, you'll vote for Bush and quit using the Internet.

  4. Those who support Bush are not book readers. by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 0, Flamebait


    Those who support George W. Bush probably are not book readers. They cannot have seen these 3 movies and read these 35 books: Unprecedented Corruption: A guide to conflict of interest in the U.S. government.

    Thinking about the presidential campaign has caused me to discover something I didn't know before. Most people have little idea of the activities of their government. Instead, they believe the sound bites.
