Swift Kick Moms for Truth: Machinima with a Presidential Twist
Swift Kick Moms for Truth: Machinima with a Presidential Twist
September 25, 2008
Over at BlipTV we found this:
"Swift Kick Moms for Truth" is a one-minute “machinima” video featuring virtual versions of Obama’s grandma and McCain’s mother scolding the candidates for their deceptive ads. Lead-in by virtual Tom Brokaw.
Created in the Second Life virtual world by Machinima by Silver and Goldie, with voice artist Mark Winston.
The title, of course, harkens back to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group, which trashed John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid. The term "swiftboating" has since become part of the language, denoting a smear campaign.
This video, however, is both non-partisan and just for fun.
