RE: [microsound] Fwd: [idm] Sign Petition for CBS to run MoveOn.Org TV ad

[Brian Klein <btk3782@xxxxxxxxx>]

there was only one ad they were going to air and it
was the winner of a competition. check at
http://www.moveon.org
some of the ones that didn't win are pretty good
and/or funny too. i only watched the finalists,
though. there were about a thousand entrants,
supposedly.
