This is super sweet Not only is Evil Ninja.net's Buy Bush a PS2 Campaign still in the top three on the MIT Blogdex but USA Today.com or as Wil Wheaton calls them Mc Paper has mentioned and linked to it. So offically I guess Mike has jumped the Shark and the next step is to get mentioned in a User Friendly or Penny Arcade strip I guess. Wow the power of Fark.
Could I put any more links in this damn post?
What a delicious feeling! I must donate now - Bush needs a PS2!
He is not take any more donations. He reached his goal and is not taking any more money.
Just an FYI here...
Think this through. Bush will never even lay eyes on this item, let alone even be notified that it was sent to him.
The risk of boobytraps or spying devices being planted in this would be too great for the Secret Service to allow this to come into contact with the president.
I think it will probably end up getting dismantled to see if this Ninja fellow installed any of the afformentioned items, then the pieces will be unceremoniously dumped in a landfill.

Or donated to charity but it is the thought that counts
Mmmmm... sharks.
My question for Seth is what the fuck is up with the naked ugly hairy man penis on his site main page. I mean What the fuck.. and you might want to warn people before the click on your site that is has some nasty crazy naked guy wang on it.
Jake...
you took the words out of my mouth... Sheesh... that scared the crap out of me yesterday..
so seth.. wtf with the naked ugly hairy man penis on the main page? I didn't bother to go any further after I saw that... *shudder* eeewwwww!
It looks like G.G. Allin. He's so not my hero.
Seth, Seth, Seth... you misunderstand the purpose of the campaign. Whether this beautiful piece of technology ever actually reaches Bush is immaterial — I mean, sure, I'd prefer it that way, as would all the people who donated to the campaign, and I'm taking steps to ensure that it does — but the important thing is the satire and the message. People don't protest or draw political cartoons because they think the president is going to take notice, after all.
Sorry for the scare, everyone. That's a photo I shot around 1991 of GG Allin in Houston. I'm rather fond of it, but I can understand how it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Strangely, when I was in college, this print won an honorable mention in a juried photo exhibit @ Southern Methodist University.
EvilNinja,
I fully agree with you. Your project is art. Run with it. I'm not at all saying you shouldn't do it. The fact that your effort was covered by USA Today's website makes it a huge success. Congrats!
Nevermind all the other crap I've said on this topic.

Oh, one more thing, don't you folks think you're reacting a little strongly to something that only occupies about four pixels on your monitor? It is an awfully small ding-dong...
