HOT LESBIAN ACTION!!!

Okay, I'm writing this because I feel compelled to post since I haven't for quite some time. But those usually turn out being okay anyway.

It all started with a website called MoveOn.org. They are a progressive website that provides information about stuff going on all over the world, and in the past couple of months they held the "Bush In 30 Seconds" contest. This is a contest where they had viewers send in TV ads they made (with digital cameras) saying stuff about Bush that was generally intended to make people want to vote for him less. Once submitted, the ads were viewable by all, so they could vote on their favorites. Over 1000 such ads were submitted and the ads were rated over 3 million times, which is you know, a lot. Of course, most of the ads were god-fucking-awful because as I've learned, liberals can be stupid idiots just like conservatives, but they tend to have fewer guns. So MoveOn.org was planning to run the most popular ad during the election week and as I later found out, during the Superbowl. How do they determine the most popular ad, you might ask: first they have people vote, then the top 15 or whatever are mulled over by some celebrity judges or something, and the best ads from different categories win prescious, prescious recognition for the creator.

What, you must be asking by now, has this to do with Nicholas? Well, as most people know, I am a closet liberal. But only assuming the closet encompasses the entire world. Too complicated for you? Sorry. My point was that everyone who knows me, except for that new Mars rover that just landed a while ago knows, I am a liberal. See, because the Mars rover is on the other side of the closet... never mind. Yeesh.

Now my point is... hmm? Oh yes, so the MoveOn people decided to host this sort of awards ceremony for the best ads. And my mom got tickets, two of 'em. So I decided to go with her. So, you know, at first I thought, this is cool, I'm gonna see some celebrities do stuff and see some ads, it should be Okay.

It was actually pretty boring. Hah, you didn't see that coming! If you did, shut up. I thought Jack Black was going to be there, but he wasn't, he was just a judge on the panel or whatever. But Margaret Cho, comedian extraordinaire, was there, and she was really good. She appeared about 20 minutes into the show did probably a 20-30 minute act, and left. It all went downhill from there.

I mean, sure there were lots of other cool people there: Janeane Garofalo, Michael Moore, Al Franken, Chuck D (of Public Enemy fame), and probably some other people that I don't recognize by name. But despite all these cool people, it was a pretty boring three to four hours.

Also, the ads that won, unbelievable. Despite the fact that there were clearly far better nominies to choose from, the worst ads were consistently chosen. Thank god the one ad they chose to actually run on TV is pretty good, but it's not really controversial enough to spark anyone's opinion. It shows these kids all doing factory-type work and hauling garbage and stuff and then it says, "Who's going to inherit George Bush's trillion dollar deficit?" I mean sure, that not bad, but what about Iraq, huh? Someone want to mention that? I guess maybe they chose this one for that very purpose, because it wasn't too controversial, but seriously, if you're going to independently raise hundreds of thousands of or millions of dollars to air an anti-Bush commercial on the air, shouldn't it be really shocking? Please?

Okay, well, this post wasn't funny, but I couldn't think of anything funny to say, really. As always you can send me email (actually, you never do that. Pricks.) Or you can send me email for Lukas and I'll forward it.
