Comedy Central’s Indecision2008.com and Comcast are hosting the most amazing Stephen Colbert themed contest I’ve ever seen! Here’s how to enter, from Indecision2008.com:
- Shoot a video (two minutes or less) where you describe the campaign platform you would run on.
- Upload your video to the Virtual Podium Contest site.
- Post your video online and tell all your friends to visit and vote.
And that’s it! The prize is airfare for two to NYC, Car transfers to and from the airport, Hotel for 3 days/ 2 nights, Texas Barbeque dinner for two, a double-decker bus tour for 2, $150 spending cash and most importantly, an invitation to Comedy Central’s exclusive Election Night Bonanza!
What an amazing prize! Go do a video and submit it to the Virtual Podium Contest site, then post your entry links here in the comments. I’ll vote for any Zoner who enters!
EDIT:
Please make sure you read the rules before you make a video. Only residents of certain states (where Comcast broadcasts) are eligible to enter the contest.

This is awesome. I feel like I’ve been looking forward to this Election Night show for so long. I don’t know what I’d actually do if I was THERE.
Luckily, I don’t have to worry about it because I don’t have any platform ideas. :P

Okay, I actually just checked the Contest Rules, and I’m not eligible to win anyway because my state is not on the list. *sadness and a little rage*

LE GASP!
… This is like… meant to be… I was just thinking that the only way I could go to NYC any time soon for TCR/TDS is that if I won a contest…
Alrighty then! *Turns on the video camera*

They’re only accepting entries from 19 states. And I’m kind of sad because I sort of started getting an idea. :(

I agree. I hope some of the Zoners will be able to enter so that we can vote for them. This is such a cool contest and I’m happy that I don’t have to feel inadequate about of my lack of creativity because I am not eligible to enter the contest. My state is not on the list.

only 19 states?! I need to check the rules…maybe i wouldnt feel so bad if i was disqualified due to living across the country…
*edit*
[censored] looks like i CAN enter, living in WA. *sigh* oh well, i guess i’ll just have to live with the fact that im not creative or something, and have no video skills…and that my band will be on tour right around that time and id rather follow them…
shhhhhh. dont tell stephen and jon i picked a band over them…

the break and repair method is the band…

its not as interesting as *being* in the band, but i love those guys and i’m a “professional fan” so…

OMG! Paul is my favorite member of matchbox twenty. I also <3 them. ;) Did you get any of those snazzy USB bracelets from the last tour? I feel so cool wearing it, like, “You need a mini hard drive? I have one . . . IN MY BRACELET.”
. . . Sorry, I very rarely find other matchbox twenty fans. :P

OMG NO WAY!!! Seriously, I was AT 12 of those shows! I have so many wristbands, and all of the downloads from the entire US tour!!
I never wear them because I’m afraid of them getting damaged…did you see the Best Of wristband?! I need to buy it yet, but i have the d/l from it.
check out myspace.com/thebreakandrepairmethod for some tour dates.
where are you from?
Shout Out (Hey!):

I’m from Cleveland! I only have the Cleveland wristband, and I was definitely thinking of buying the Best Of, I guess I should maybe do that. must . . . find . . . money . . .
And it doesn’t look like The Break and Repair Method will be here, sad. :(

i will send you some links to some shows!
BRM doesnt appear to be hitting a lot of places *this* time…im trying to get confirmation on why he is on so few of the shows. he wants to go out again and do a bigger tour as well. rob’s album comes out “marchish” of next year…
*crosses fingers for a bigger tour*
i am pretty sure paul is hitting chicago. do you have means to travel?

Rock on, living in DE is finally useful for something. Step one (eligibility) is out of the way, I’m half way done!
Step two… be entertaining.
Crap.

Now that Biden has been tapped for the VP slot, DE will receive even more attention. They have to accept videos from there!

Totes! I was so excited. Biden brings the insanity sometimes, I think late night comedy was lobbying for him. He’s just so… Biden. He doesn’t bother thinking through thoughts, he’s just “OMG, my brain! Blah blah blah!” But then he gets stuff done.
Plus, check out the regions… DE/PA gets two winners!

I’m not a very thorough reader, but I swear I didn’t see an age requirement. So does that mean I can enter even though I’m under 18?
Shout Out (Hey!):

thinks not. in the “who can enter” there is a portion of a sentence stating:
“and be considered an adult in the State in which you are a legal resident.”
and if you are not 18 you are not considered an adult as I’m aware of it. sorry bout that!

Thanks for finding that for me! I guess I fail in reading.

no probs. I’m always on high alert for those kinds of messages since I just turned 18 a few months ago…I’m so used to checking because all the youthful people of the land always get blocked out of everything. but you’ll be old enough soon enough no worries.
