Is this funny? I need feedback on a parody site I am working on...
It is a parody of Behind The Music called Behind The Election; Bush Cheated 04.


I am still working on a few more photo illustrations. Nathan Sproul in front of someone tearing up democratic voter registrations, Swift Boat Liars in front of an image of the Mai Lai massacre asserting there were no atrocities and Coppola, DePalma, Stone, Kubrick and Kerry are liars, and some RNC villian bragging about the mailing in Virginia on dems banning the bible.

I also need to add more "Shallow Throat" narration bragging about tabuluation fraud. Suggestions for additional narrative copy especially welcomed and photos and information I still need such as the Virginia bible banning mailing and images of maniacal RW dem voter registration shredding.

1. 1st page turned me off.
I see what you were aiming for, which could be funny, but what's there left a foul taste in my mouth.

Dunno, maybe it's just me.

5. When you say it turned you off, is that because it is too mean spirited
towards the villians who are portrayed in the photo illustrations. Is it so mean spirited as to be considered a low blow?

2. It didn't turn me off
But it also didn't make me laugh, I'm afraid. It struck me as too grim and realistic to be a parody.

4. It is grim and realistic, it is a parody of the "I'm proud of all my
misdeeds" like bands who are disfunctional enough to make Behind The Music. It is also very mean spirited towards all things GOP. When I ask is it funny, I mean is the dialog and narration funny in the way it makes fun of the person speaking or of Bush? Not is what is portrayed as having been done to dem voters funny. That of course is not. I am trying to create something for the masses. The beauty of parody is that I can allege anything I want and attribute incriminating dialog to the talking head "villians."

8. Parody makes you laugh
That's one of its major characteristics.
