Bush: Addicted to Oil

Tonight's Midnight Movie "Bush: Addicted to Oil" is a music video spoof that is currently #5 on the Huffington Post's Contagious Festival leader board.

Each month the LA-based political web site hosts viral videos and original short films. LAist sent some emails to Addicted to Oil head honcho Andy Menconi, who sent some back.

LAist: It seems like we should be seeing a lot more of these from people since technology is cheap, the president is a buffoon, and with YouTube and Blogs... why aren't we seeing more of these types of videos?

Andy Menconi: ‘Cause people could give a crap. If like ten percent more people just paid attention, this would be a different country. The long answer is; McDonald’s, Coke, Blockbuster, ESPN, pizza delivery, Fox News, Hooters, Starbucks, etc., etc.

Who knows though…I mean, the Daily Show is popular, Colbert is catching on and the Huffington Post has got a good thing goin’ on with this monthly Contagious Festival. Maybe there is hope after all.
