You MUST try This: Culture Jam Chevy and Global Warming: Sloganator II

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/

This is a BLAST. (Thanks Noah.) Chevy and the Apprentice set up a tool to create commercials for SUVs. They want you to create ads for their crappy products. It is a good idea but I don't think folks should be saving Chevy ad money.

These machines are driving us all to the edge on global warming. We are more dependent on oil and we are less safe. The owners try to "be cool" but are really like sheep manipulated by advertising and GM. Ride your SUV in traffic...what a waste.

Please make a funny ad and put a link in the comments... or send me your link via email. The network can take down this ad. Help people connect the dots between SUVs and global warming. Go get them.

Chevy Ads can be fun.

Someone please record these too.

This is one of the best sites I've seen in a while -- I have no doubt that it will be influential, at least in one way......

Let's make this more viral :) I posted an entry on my website with the idea of starting a 'Chevy Carnival'. People who see the list of links on that entry (all related to activism/environment of course) should add a post on their website listing the links and adding theirs to the list.

It can also start from here, just add the links I found on Grist. It can be interesting...

This is great, reminds me of the posterizer on the Bush Cheney site back in 2004!

[How to put on youtube]

To record a video on Windows:
1) download DemoStudio:
http://kennethhunt.com/demostudio.EXE
2) Install
3) under Region menu, choose 'Region'
4) Try the record button and then drag rectangle around section of browser with video in it, write down coordinates. Stop recording right away by right clicking on icon in system tray and selecting 'stop.' Cancel the box asking you to save this test video.
5) under Region menu, choose 'Fixed Region...' and put in the coordinates you saved in step 4
6) Now set up the audio; I had to make it "record audio from speakers", your setup might be different
7) Record to Flash is fine, as it generates AVI too.
8) from video page, browse to google, then press back button, and start recording just as video starts.
9) when you stop the recording, you will be asked to set video options. might as well set this to 32 bit and change keyframes to 20 per second. Turn off the 'loop' option.

This will generate the video in a "swf" and "avi" format!
