Election Day Funnies (If It Wasn’t So Serious!)

Seattle’s Filmateria Studios has launched three new media properties that promise to help Democrats and Republicans come together… at least for a laugh or two.

On www.bluestateguide.com, readers can learn about This Date in Blue State History, learn to speak “blue” by using the Blue State “Phrasenator” (sample phrase: Google Alternative Barista), and discover key Blue State reasons for not voting (30%: Pilates class; 12%: line too long at Starbucks).

On www.redstateguide.com, readers can check out This Date in Red State History, learn to speak red (sample phrase: Fixin to Steadfast Majority), and play the game BBQ joint or Strip Club? (example: Squealers: BBQ joint; Wiggles: Strip Club).

Other Filmateria products include:

ComPAIRables, a downloadable word game based on the bestselling book, goes political leading up to the election. This weeks comPAIRables topics include:

  • Hollywood Movie or Political Scandal (players choose between: Watergate, Waterworld, Whitewater, Darkwater).
  • Presidential Advisor or Haiku Term
  • Senate Republican Hopeful or enologist (wine lover) term
  • Presidential Aspirant or American Nemesis

Players can download a new comPAIRable each day leading up to the election, and each week thereafter. ComPAIRables are available on YouTube, video.Yahoo.com, iTunes, www.compairables.com, and numerous interactive websites. ComPAIRables has generated several thousand downloads since launching in September.

In addition to comPAIRables, Filmateria has created the definitive websites for Blue Staters (www.bluestateguide.com), and Red Staters (www.redstateguide.com). The sites offer a humorous prospective on the great political divide.
