Hi Folks,

You just gotta get a look at this.

Laugh? I nearly filled out the electoral registration form.

It's those Muslim extremists Obama keeps knocking about with, that's what it is.

Peggy did not create this. This is a wonderful idea that someone else came up with.   You type in the name of a friend, add their e-mail address and they will receive a video with their name inserted. Very powerful tool!!

very good. Iam sure Iwould vote for Obama,but lets face it he will only be allowed to do so much.
the bankers and big business really rule the country,and will only allow cosmetic change,do you think the seven percent who own 84 per cent of the wealth,are going to let their wealth be redistributed to those who really need it.

As Kat notes, this was introduced into Mudcat-BS about a week ago; several of us had fun with it, and the thread fell off the bottom of the page within about 48 hours or so. I tried to keep it alive with a "refresh," but to no avail.

I'm glad it's been reintroduced in a slightly different context, with a new thread title that is apparantly attracting a whole new set of viewers/participants. Enjoy!

Bill,

If I have been on safari, I wish someone had told me. I would have brought a camera.

I have seen the video and I have read the side bit she's mentoned there but not on the Video, someone called William is mentioned but not your Peggy Seeger.

This clip is customized with a CGI script of some sort that adds your name to the screen beside the video, and to a few written image bits of the video that are interpolated as text.

The actors in the video may have character names but they are part of the background. If someone named William watched this and heard someone named William mentioned, he would be incorrect in assuming from that that the name of each person submitted to the site is pronounced in the skit. It's just in the odds that someone named William watched it.
