HuffPo goes Viral

Or rather, more viral than usual. Arianna and the gang have come up with a contest:

The Huffington Post Contagious Festival is a unique opportunity for talented designers, political activists of any persuasion, filmmakers and comics to reach millions of people with creative, viral online work. The contestants that create the best projects get Internet fame and the chance to meet with friends of Huffington Post from the worlds of entertainment and politics to discuss future projects and opportunities.

First prize (based on website traffic) is $2500 and dinner with Arianna Huffington. The second prize (determined by judges) winner gets $2500 but is spared the evening of shrill moonbattery. The judges include a pair of "criminal impersonators" (My guess - Arianna either can't afford the real thing, or maybe her favorites have all been recently executed) and the flaming moonbat John Cusack.

They also have a list of websites to provide inspiration. Included are a site featuring photos of a model sitting on a toilet and vomiting, and a fake commerial featuring a suicide bomber. All of the "inspiration" sites seem to be parodies save one - Charles Johnson's (Little Green Footballs) famous Rathergate memo comparison (which was not a parody) seems wholly out of place sandwiched between the regurgitating gal mentioned above and a spittle-infused manifesto sensitively titled "Fuck the South".

So is Arianna trying to tell us something?
