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 week’s 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.
