Anti-Bush Ad Winner to be Announced in January

On January 12, 2004, Moby, Michael Stipe. Michael Moore, Jack Black and other judges will be in attendance at the MoveOn.org’s announcement of the winning “Bush in 30 Seconds” award. MoveOn.org solicited entries for the creation of an ad that illustrates the apparently poor job Bush has done as President. More than 1,500 entries were submitted.

“The basic idea was to try to some extent to involve the creative community more in the political process,” Moby told Rolling Stone earlier this month, “and to disseminate information about what a dreadful president George Bush has been. There are myriad causes with which I’m involved, and I have friends who work for a lot of different non-profits, and we all feel the same way: The one cause that seems to take precedence over all the others is to do everything in our power to make sure George Bush is sent back to Texas in 2004. Every cause would benefit immeasurably.”

Obviously, Moby hates Bush.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
