DUers need help brainstorming (caution fun alert)
I know DUers can be really funny when they put their minds to it. I have been playing with the concept for a domain that is owned by another DUer. The domain is one the RNC failed to register bushcheated04.com

There are lots of excellent serious fraud sites. I wanted to make one that is funny with the hope that if it were funny it might spread like JibJab and we could reach all the people who don't frequent lefty websites. So my goal was to create something that could get posted on http://fark.com

I have been playing with the idea and concept for about a week now and just had an idea for a way to structure it so as to have a linear story telling quality. I thought it would be a good idea to parody VH1's Behind The Music:

I am providing HTML and PhotoShop skills and the copy, but I am a firm believer in group writing. All suggestions for copy, character development and tieing together all the elements of fraud are needed. Also gathering of imagery to be PhotoShopped.

The preliminary design can be seen at:

3. Need villians so need names and instances of how they cheated
whether it is suppression, tabulation fraud etc. That is why I am asking for research and copy help.

4. Need a screen shot of Robert Duvall at the exact moment he says "napalm"
Having no luck with Google image search, the Duval money shot is the surfing scene. Any one got the DVD?

6. do it
suggest to make it a continually evolving organic thing that people can contribute to in a loose kind of way -- you can ask for specific input, also people can just send stuff and then dont worry too much what you do with it...you're good at putting this stuff together.

11. Did I mention I LOVE napalm? Smells like victory.


VH1 presents: BEHIND THE ELECTION: DUBYA

Need images of Viet Nam atrocities such as Mai Lai. Also a Swift Boat seen from the front. Need Swift Boat liars pics such as O'Neil, Corsi. Need pics for backgrounds such as civil rights images.

I also need suggested dialog for FL Secretary of State Glenda Hood on her felon list (black felons, no Cuban felons)
