tis the season for political attack ads....

....and rhetoric and grandstanding. Below are some of our favorite attack ads that have filtered into the COM offices. The official stance at COM is that no matter who you vote for tomorrow, whether they be neo-con, ultra-liberal, greenie, labor, nazi-party, middle-of-the-road, or otherwise, your vote is surely going to some dickbag that doesn't deserve it. You'd have better luck picking someone honest and clean at a Bangkok whorehouse (we'd know!) than you will at the ballet box. In theory, the only thing worse than voting within a system that produces nothing but useless photo-op skeezing, campaign contribution whoring candidates is to not vote at all. But we're not so sure if that's really the case. Just remember, you can always take solace in the fact that eventually you'll die and it'll be someone else's problem to fix this mess.

Enjoy.







Life goes on here
Day after day
I don't know if I am living or if I'm
Supposed to be
Sometimes my life is so eerie
And if you think I'm happy
Paint me white...yellow

I've been here once
I've been here twice
I don't know if the thirds the fourth or if the -
The fifths to fix
Sometimes I deal with numbers
And if you wanna count me
Count me out

I don't need the time of day
Anytime with me's ok
I just don't want you using up my time
cause thats not right

It's rare that you hear anything about Detroit film, after all, films that supposedly take place in Detroit are usually shot in Toronto. Even so, there are some people doing some interesting things right in the city. InZer0 is a 12 episode sci-fi project being filmed in Detroit over the course of a year. Last weekend they had a fundraiser / zombie fashion show at the Hastings Ballroom in which all completed episodes were being played in a lounge area. Interesting stuff; hopefully it'll all be put out on DVD.
