Its got to be the oldest fix in the Book !

Put their hand-picked grand-prize winner first (Tithe)

then filled-in w/ non-contenders…

(could only find five others that fit this category)—hence, SIX

Why ?? Be So Obvious ??

:-(


The order, like last year, is randomized. Both times I opened up the page so far “Think” has happened to be at the top.

This time it was “New Age Medic”.

Now “Science Is A Vaccine”.

I voted for “New Age Medic” it was just damn funny while making a point.

There is my truth.  There is your truth.  There is the real truth.  Neither of us can claim that third. Maybe if we talk, we’ll both get closer.

I think the chosen finalists are all didactic, too obvious in their attempts at humor (like announcing the joke at the top of the video) or just barren of content. One of the videos exclusively uses purchased stock footage. This should have been an art contest, not a PSA contest. It’d be better to give some money to struggling artists than to support these derivative sprints to the middle. I’m still not convinced that atheists, in general, have any taste at all. Want me to prove it? Look up “symphony of science” on youtube and look at all the fawning supporters it gets. Auto-tune people, auto-tune. What is wrong with our community?

Yes I am bitter and angry, but I at least I expected this to be the result.

[size=4][size=3]WELL WELL !

Didn’t I exactly call the ultimate outcome ?

Smacks of the worst brand of monetary PANDERING endemic to donation-supported non-profits…

Can PR’s credibility sink any lower ?

Ironically—the truly original projects that really could have made a global difference were ash-canned…

Such is Mercenary Power Politics…

Why is it that when you’re not considered as remarkable as you consider yourself, it’s obviously an unfair conspiracy against you?

###########################

I said nothing of the kind !!!

PR would dearly like to shame everyone into DONATING more.

What better way to spend $10K ?

that is why the “Tithing to Science Video”  is going to win…

And to prove it I will cover anyone’s action on this (at 6 to one)...  ^_^
