"The Boy Who Cried Wolf" I reworked the "Wolves" Bush Commercial here
because I couldn't stand this commercial being touted as THE big Bush Ad buy of the Century - so I created a Quicktime version that is more suitable - called "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" --

I think you're going to enjoy this, my wife had a smile on her face when I showed it to her a mile wide..

It's a pretty small file so it should load fine -- Please pass this around and email it to people, I think THIS ONE will take some of the swelling out of Chimpy's head..

I think it helps to bring up the fact that Bush sat on his ASS during 911 while the REAL WOLVES brought the world down.

Pass it around and keep this kicked it you will please?

7. I'd like to see it...

...but it wants me to download some Apple software.

[symbolman]

10. it isn't going to hurt

:) it's just a plugin to view it - their version of wmv skin..

My wife uses an Apple and I can't cos I like PCs but I still use all the viewers I can to test video, flash, etc..

QT is one of the worst, they want to make you get a new plugin every 15 minutes, I'm surprised you don't have it yet, so many quicktimes all over the web..

that means you haven't seen the O'Reilly SEXXY video which is a scream, it was on Buzzflash.

I'll make more flash's next time :)

[Mr_Spock]

35. Oh, are we supposed to comment after watching the video?

OK - good job!

[Oilwellian]

5. Must be a slow night

Always love your work Symbolman. This one is awesome. :toast:

[Wind Dancer]

6. Powerful, symbolman!

This needs to be aired on mainstream TV, I'm so disgusted with the fear, terra, terra, terra propaganda from these WIMPS occupying the WH and Pentagon. None bothered to serve in the military but insist they will keep us safer, the usual Orwellian.


How is your documentary coming along? I can't wait to see it.

[symbolman]

9. We should have a trailer done soon

we're all making suggestions, I want it edgier and showing the wacky side, yet with credibility but some on the team want to appeal to more people - to me that waters it down..

but we'll have something real soon, just had to take a break from serious editing and do something about that SILLY Wolves ad..

I mean, it actually DOES bring to mind the Boy who cried Wolf, first thing I thought of with all these terra, terra, terra - gonna die if you elect a REAL HERO memes they keep plying us with..

I remember when they called Reagan "SloganBreath" :)
thanks for asking!

[Wind Dancer]

12. There's always a fine line when it comes to

closing the deal, so to speak. I'm sure the end result will be a work of art, maybe a mixture of combined ideals.


The Wolf ad does immediately bring up those images of the Boy who Cried Wolf! It was my first thought when I saw it, reminds me of those color coded terra alert threats that Ashcroft raises when Kerry is ahead in the polls. I still can't figure out why anybody would have faith in this fairy tale version of a candy colored terra chart aimed at scaring the EVIL DOERS, the Brothers Grimm would be proud.

Let us know when the trailer is ready, I am anxious to see the final results.

[proReality]

8. Excellent!

Far better than the original wolf puppy ad, this one is truthful.

[Zorra]

11. Aaaack! Maybe some fed up TV programmer will pull a switcheroo and

substitute this for the Bu$h ad.

That would be totally hilarious.

[Quixote1818]

13. AWESOME!! Can someone get this to the campaign? RIGHT AWAY!

[cmd]

14. Another great one, symbolman!

I'll be forwarding it in my e-mails. The Pet Goat thing still has me grinding my teeth. I, too, was in a classroom that day and I sure didn't sit doing nothing.

I've taken my kindergarteners to field trips to the fire house. On one trip, the guys had a run. Now, there is nothing quite as scary to a little kid as being in a small room with loud bells, radio transmissions, men scrambling, flashing lights and ultimately a siren starting it's wail. What if the fire department just stood around because they didn't want to "frighten the children." Who in the hell would stand for that! Yet, there are so many out there that think that Bush* was being soooo considerate of the kids.

[Bundbuster]

15. Thanks, symbolman!

For ALL that you do.

I'll be posting it at my site.

[symbolman]

17. Look out!

Bush has a GUN!!

Oh, it's just a picture :)

thanks for the thanks and the posting!

[symbolman]

16. Go see this alternative "Wolf" storyboard

I nearly died laughing, I'm still sniffling and my wife is looking at me funny :)

http://www.thepoorman.net/archives/003338.html#more

It's really worth it!

[Bundbuster]

18. TOO funny - LMAO

Just one of the many images...

19. This Is Terrific!

Thank You! I was thinking what a terrible dis-service to wolfs the * commercial is, but you've put it into the right light! Thanks!

20. Kick with a caveat:

This is great, but not as great as a TBTM Radio show, of which there have been none since fucking June!

All kidding on the square aside, thanks Symbolman!

[demobabe]

27. we're working...

...to bring TBTM Radio back. Too much going on with projects and legal crap in recent months, but we're slowly getting back on track. We'll have a trailer shortly then you can see what we've been up to this summer (including getting chased out of two states by four hurricanes).

[freedomburn]

21. Most excellent symbolman!

I am duly impressed. I consider it to be a very effective ad. I don't see any great need to tinker with it at all.

22. Excellent, as usual, symbolman..quicktime is best for dialup

it loads fully and you can just wait and play as many times as you like withour reloading. WELL worth the wait on this one!

Thanks for ALL your great work and a big :kick: for Sunday AM

[symbolman]

28. I try to accomodate

dialup but it's hard with all the graphics no matter how hard you try..

thanks!

I guess you can right click on a PC on the link and save the file, should be emailable..

[davsand]

23. Well done! (As always...)

Made the point very well.

I have to admit, however, that the story board from The Poor Man just about made me die laughing. THAT was seriously funny!

-----------

BTW, have you ever listened to the Leonard Cohen song "Everybody Knows?" You should give it a listen. I think the possibilities for a flash set to that would really represent the entire experience of having the asswipe in the White House. (Concrete Blond covered that same song, but it isn't quite as creepy sounding.)

Thanks for sharing with us all!

24. Symbolman!

:yourock: That is fantastic! :bounce:

[Slamby2002]

25. brilliant! n/t

[Luminous Animal]

26. Excellent...

Now to send it around. Thanks....

[jmowreader]

29. Symbolman always does high quality work, this is no exception

Except you really need to take the word "parody" off the end screen--this is the real ad, the one on the RNC site is the parody.

[symbolman]

30. LOL!

Great line :)

my irony meter has been broken by the Bush Regime so it's hard to tell anymore.. I miss wit, intelligence, rationality, etc..

Hey, wait a tick.. there IS KERRY!

Thank the gods, too bad he gets to clean up all the Wolf doo doo, eh?

[Philostopher]

31. That's great!

Haven't been home long -- I really wanted to see your take on this, though. You really do great parodies of pompous bullshit, fella. Congrats!

[symbolman]

32. I just saw the thread on the 1100 coffins at the Lincoln Memorial

And it reminded me of what we did when there were only 430 or so murdered troops..

If anyone is interested when I was in NYC in November of 2003 I created a coffin from black paper and cardboard, walked it down Times Square and placed it at the foot of the Enlistment Center right in the middle of the street, draped it with a flag and flower and argued with the ARMY guy that came out -- he called the cops and we left, but we made our point and S L O W Walked it back to hotel like a New Orleans parade.

I was going to create instructions for making a coffin for people to place in their city centers but this display at the Lincoln Monument is Magnificent..

Here's the video of it our Times Square protest - Called "Warnography"
