The NY Times featured my Move on Ad!!!!!!!

[Sterling]

In the Sunday NY times they ran a still from the "Bush Knew" ad we produced at Global Free Press. We seem to be getting pretty good feedback in the contest but I doubt we will win.

I wanted to see if any DUers would check out our ad and tell us what you think.


Here is a link to our ad:

If you want to vote however you must sit through a random line of ads before you get to ours. You may not ever get to vote for ours because you can only vote on 20 per day.

18. Maybe in response to Sterling OK Sooners logo?

Only connection I see and it was a weak connection.

[Sterling]

23. Boomer Sooner indeed.

lol. Born in raised in the red dirt. I do find it a little ironic that we name our team after people who not only stole land from Indians but also cheated during the imoral landrun as well?

My Okla fam and friends don't see the irony though, :eyes:.

19. Go Sooners!!!! Boomer Sooner.

Note: I am in Illinois and have only flown over Oklahoma. But I am a fan.

22. Excellent!

:)

4. That's a great one

I have voted for about sixty and am going now to vote for another twenty.

[BlueEyedSon]

6. I have been registered for 2 days (40 ads)

and yours is one of the best I've seen (and they're all pretty good!).

[Sterling]

9. Thx lots!!!!

I think we are getting good response from young people. I don't know if older folks like the rapper as much, lol.

7. opening it now (dial-up, pant, wheeze...)

I reviewed 20 today.

half were utterly lame (WAY too many kids talking like adults!)

saw four that got a 4-4+ rating.

have great expectations (of course!) for this one.

will do another 20 tomorrow, hopefully.

on edit: saw it. very striking and powerful. i'm not a rap fan but would have rated it certainly as high as anything I saw today.

it's original, has impact without distraction. (and it's certainly not cloying)

good luck. if it comes up next time I get to do 20, it will get high marks from me!

[Devlzown]

8. I like it!

I've rated 80 so far and that's the first time I've seen yours. It's really challenging to condense all that's wrong with Bush into 30 seconds. You did a swell job!

[Sterling]

10. I went through 752 ads the first day to find ours.

So with the 20 a day thing many people may never see it.

[htuttle]

11. Well, to that I say...

BOOOYYAAAAH!

I haven't gotten to vote on yours yet. Still plowing through them.

[Sterling]

14. Don't hold your breath

Waiting to find our ad, lol. They called Chad for an interview but the quotes must have been cut before they went to print.

[sweetheart]

12. congratulations sterling

!!! :-) happy solar new year!!!

You rock! how excellent you've made an advert....

Have you heard drdig420's rap song (moniker on DU)... were i you, i would consider this as a soundtrack.

You are a noble warrior.

God bless you.

-sweetheart

[Sterling]

13. Do you have a link?

nt

[sweetheart]

15. hi sterling

His moniker is drdigi420: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=126576

I PM'ed him, its all i can do... the song is brilliant!!!

[Sterling]

16. I would love to gear it.

I hope he PMs me a link to his work.

[are_we_united_yet]

17. Yo that was fly!!!!

[Sterling]

24. The star of the ad is a artist named Michael Kane

I manage his band "Clarity". He is a major talent IMHO.

[are_we_united_yet]

32. It was outstanding!

Congrats on a great job to all of you.

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. Good work, Sterling!!!

:toast:

[Sterling]

25. Thx

DUers can do cool stuff when we work together.

[proud patriot]

21. I've just started the viewing and voting process

My son and I did 20 today and will vote again
everyday until we are through . Man lots of good
entries .

[Sterling]

26. I agree.

Lots of great ads to choose from. I noticed some familiar names like GNN, Andrew Boyd, VOXNYC among the producers.

[lostnfound]

27. Good deal,great ad! Yeah! You are fighting back! n/t

[tkmorris]

28. 20 ad limit?

I just blew through that ceiling and kept going. All today, in the last hour in fact. Have they changed the limit?

[Sterling]

29. Really?

Wow I hope so but then again I think the whole process has been screwed up because they got way more ads than they expected.

They are trying to be fair but I think the contest has been freeped a bit. I think a lot of people went through voting everyones ad a 1 and their own a 5 the first day. After that I could not get anyone to go to the contest to vote on our ad because it would never come up in the 20 a day alotment.


I might have to send my friends back to try again, lol.

[tkmorris]

30. I hit your ad last night

It was the 29th one. Surprised me, that's for sure. It said it's average rating was at 3.0 which borders on criminal, it's much better than that.

[Sterling]

31. Yes I think we might have gotten some of the freeping

the first couple of days before the limited the ads. Maybe not. I am just glad people seem to like the ad.
