Election Fever
Election-mania is sweeping news headlines across the world and a couple of organisations have decided to create election news stories of their own.
The Summit Group are hosting a spoof election coverage news site, where you can transform yourself or a friend into a presidential candidate simply by a entering your name. The site uses Flash video to incorporate a name as a variable element within the video. While it's obvious that significant effort has gone into making this fictional video, the personalisation effects are not too effective, however the campaign gets a good overall chuckle factor.
Another, but somewhat similar second spoof news coverage is available on a fictional news Web site hosted by the democratic policital organisation MoveOn.org. The personalisation effects in this video (which also use Flash variables) are a little more convincing and even more humorous.
