CNN PREZPOKER MENTION 11-9-04
On CNN Sunday morning a few weeks ago (Just before the election) they were talking about political products you can buy on the web, and they mentioned the prezpoker.com cards. Not only did they mention them, the described my artwork in detail. Here is an excerpt from the transcripts: Aired October 17, 2004 - 09:00
BLAISE ZEREGA, MANAGING EDITOR, "WIRED": Good morning, Betty.
NGUYEN: Coming to us live from San Francisco, the managing editor of "Wired" Magazine. Let's get right to it. We talked about the Bobble Heads, the Fab Five. But we want to get to some of the most interesting sites.
etc. . . etc. . .
NGUYEN: OK. And we can't leave without talking about prezpoker.com? A gambling site?
ZEREGA: That's right. Well, yes.
It's a deck of cards for -- I think it's about $10 -- $11.95, actually. And it's skewering both candidates. It's a fun tool.
And, for instance, they portray Kerry as flip-flop. They show him holding both a guitar and a hockey stick. And President Bush as evangelical in chief, holding both a skull and bones helmet and his top gun helmet.
NGUYEN: All these crazy things for sale. Only in America, huh?
ZEREGA: And, you know, as the election nears, the price of all these items will fall.
NGUYEN: On the Web, right?
ZEREGA: No one wants to get, you know, stuck holding them. So now is the time for the party faithful to show their true colors.
NGUYEN: Yes, but you get a really good deal after November 2, of course, right?
ZEREGA: Oh, yes.
NGUYEN: For all those looking for sales.
ZEREGA: Look for it on eBay.
NGUYEN: OK. All right. Blaise Zerega, managing editor of "Wired" Magazine. We thank you.
ZEREGA: Thanks a lot, Betty. NGUYEN: Tony.
HARRIS: How this election could affect your children. Where the candidates stand on education when CNN SUNDAY MORNING returns.
