:00:32
Jeez, this is terrible.
:00:33
It's the stupidest.
I can't...

:00:37
It's an hour's difference.
The time zone is different here.

:00:41
Fuck. It's unbelievable.
How the fuck can that happen?

:00:44
Okay. Here.
:00:46
Okay, there. That's done.
Now what?

:00:48
Okay. Got it. Okay.
:00:49
Pull it up.
:00:51
Okay, now let's get your...
:01:01
A few years ago, we wanted to...
:01:04
try to help out with some activist's
anti-corporate activities.

:01:08
And we heard about this website
called rtmark.com.

:01:11
And we went there, and they...
:01:13
they handed us a domain name-
gwbush.com...

:01:16
and asked us if we might like
to make a website

:01:18
that was critical of George Bush.
:01:20
Because George Bush's real
domain name was georgewbush.com.

:01:24
And this was 1999,
so it was just during the campaign

:01:27
when he was beginning
to run for president.

:01:29
And we didn't really know
quite what to do,

:01:32
so we went to Bush's website
and looked at it.

:01:34
And it turned out to be full
of strange hypocrisies, like,

:01:37
for example, he called himself
"The environmental governor of Texas,"

:01:40
but we looked a little closer
at his record and found out

:01:43
that he had actually created
the most polluted state in the country

:01:46
because he dismantled
the Clean Air Laws while he was there.

:01:49
And, actually, that's, I guess,
what he's doing now nationally.

:01:52
So we thought,
"Well, this kind of hypocrisy

:01:54
we can easily poke fun at
by making a satire website."

:01:57
And we made this satire website
that looked exactly like Bush's
