Stop the spending? Mock the spending!
The team at BulletPeople.com is set to launch a video marathon tonight where they will produce 100 satiric clips in 24 hours, all to—yep—“Mock the Spending” underway in Washington.
The marathon got underway Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Check out a couple of their preview videos below where they take on the Hank Paulson bailout, “Cash for Clunkers” and introduce a mysterious new video game update for the “World of Warcraft” fans among us.
What if the government didn’t want you to play cool sports video games and just wanted you to play fantasy virtual reality games with elves and magic spells?
And finally, what if the government wanted you to install a patch (an “update” or a “fix” for the non-gamers out there) so when you‘re playing World of Warcraft and you’re slaying dragons or going on a raid, you could call on your friends like “Treasury Dwarf Timothy Geithner” or “Treasury Gold-Man Hank Paulson” and have them help you out of a jam? Instead of, you know, doing it yourself. With your guild.

Posted on July 15, 2011 at 2:44amNope, that’s not true. Also, considering that this administration and all of their tentacles have a clear and aggressive anti-fox bias, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he was being “investigated” by the fbi

You want to talk about Mur dock being held accountable for what happened in England because he is the head of the company?
How about we talk about something really important like the Head of the DOJ and the ‘Head’ of the country NOT being investigated, by the FBI, and being held accountable, by Congress, for Operation Fast and Furious?
You want to hold Mur dock to one standard but give a pass to the other two? It only works that way in a trolls logic!

Posted on July 15, 2011 at 12:03amThese young people at Bulletpeople.com are brilliant kids. It’s a way to get what I, and many others on theblaze have been talking about, but we’ve been using the language of F.A. Hayek (they used a quote from him in one of the videos featured here), and they will more than likely have better luck relaying this information to those closer to their age, or those with shorter attention spans, or those who just don’t have time to grind through a book of economic essays because they have lives. It’s like the “Original Argument” of recent governmental programs.
Lastly I’ll just add this: These young people give me hope that not all the youth is indoctrinated or seduced by the promise from government that they (the government) can give them all they would ever possibly desire.

Posted on July 14, 2011 at 11:59pmWhat is this really going to do besides make people laugh and move on though? I applaud them for the effort, it just seems wasted. People don‘t care and they won’t care until we default. Nobody realizes how much the government is involved with our lives until it gets shutdown (see Minnesota). Then it’s “I need a license to do what?!”.
