The People's Cube - Political Satire

Comrades!

These are Glorious Times ™! Our Benevolent Government under the auspices of the Environmental Protection Agency (Thank YOU Dick Nixon) wants to hear from you! We proles understand deeply that "Rulemaking Matters!" and can now let our teeny tiny voices be heard, nay not just heard, but judged as well!

There are only two requirements--that you include the phrase "Let Your Voice be Heard", and direct the masses to the website Regulations.gov ("Your Voice in Federal Decision-Making")

Full details here

Just a portion to whet your appetite (for a lively swig of beet vodka):

Explain rulemaking and win $2,500!

Almost every aspect of our lives is touched by federal regulations. Even before you leave the house in the morning, government regulations help set the price of the coffee you drink, the voltage of electricity your alarm clock uses, and the types of programming allowed on the morning news. But many Americans don't understand how rules are made or how they can get involved in the process.


This video contest is your opportunity to explain federal rulemaking and motivate others to participate in the rulemaking process. Create a short video, not to exceed 90 seconds in length, explaining why rules are important, why the average American should care about federal regulations, and how people just like you can participate in the rulemaking process. The E-Rulemaking Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Regulatory and Policy Management (EPA) will award $2,500 to the winner and post his or her video on Regulations.gov as well as the EPA Web site.


Comrades! Surely we can do better than this....


EMBEDDED VIDEO NO LONGER AVAILABLE

What we need, obviously, is a new Rule/Regulation eliminating boring video's, unless we get paid for watching/listening to said useless 'boring video's'.

Making the rules rulez dude

I don't need 90 seconds... just use this clever phrase for the campaign....

"Let your voiced be heard....join ObaMESSIAH's herd."

Comb-rads, a confession: back when I was commisar of shoe production, rule-making was good fun. We would make a few rules, drink vodka, print ourselves a few rubles, and then have a good time over salt beef, buttered cabbage and more vodka at Trebienski's Dacha. But now, here in the people's apple farm colllective, where I am being re-educated--rules no fun anymore. New rule everyday. Rules by different commisars.

Be too good at rules? Get beaten. Ignore rules? Get beaten with big Georgian boot. Try to be good party member and observe rules half-way? Get beaten. Express mother land love of rules with black eyes and bleeding gums? Get beaten.

I will, however, produce video for sister Soviet in EPA. If I should be so fortunate to win prize, apple commisar will take off boot.

Yo!

Perhaps some video clip uh a firin' squad fo' dose Proles dat 'eshale mo'e dan deir regulated amount uh carbon-dioxide?

That's an excellent rule Comrade Cradle. I'll second that. Of course, there ought to be exceptions for the party elites, like Dear Leader, and myself.

Off Charachter. I have been a professional video maker/marketer for almost 20 years and This is EXACTLY what the EPA is doing. They are too cheap to hire a pro to make these videos. But here is the real question which should be asked. WHY THE HELL DOES THE EPA NEED A PR DEPARTMENT!!!! SHOULDN'T THEY BE OUT CLEANING UP TOXIC WASTE DUMPS OR SOMETHING????

You jest. Surely you know the EPA's goal isn't to protect the environment?

And all progressive organizations (weak-ass socialists) answer set backs by pointing to failures in PR. A good Stalinist answers potential set backs by pointing firing squads at the failures: "Death solves all problems - no man, no problem."
