Platform – Oh, the usual. Bowling. Driving around. The occasional acid flashback.
Candidates we support – My rug.
Candidates we oppose – Look, we all know who is at fault here, what the fuck are you talking about?
War Chest – I’m not handling the money, driving the car and talking on the phone all at the same time.
Principal Donors – Where’s the fucking money Lebowski?
A new ds106 assignment inspired by WNYC’s It’s a Free Country – “Name a SuperPAC” generator. Now this is a piece of journalism I can get behind, let’s make a commentary on the inanity of the self-important names SuperPACs give themselves, such as Winning Our Future and Restore Our Future (these are real, (vomit) honestly). Oh I know, lets build a digital tool that creates SuperPAC names! These journalists must meet ds106.
You can use the generator below, or go directly to the SuperPAC Name Generator as a prompt to mashup a piece of fiction or reality to start sculpting your message! PSAs, Radio spots, Posters, anything and everything is fair game for this assignment.

I love what you have done with your Lebowski campaign, genius. I am gonna have to give the generator a roll. Did you submit this yet, or should i 🙂
It’s up here. It’s busy business out there creating media for SuperPACs, I’ve got work for “Go Ham On Apple Pie” to finish by Monday. They’re looking to make an impact on super Tuesday.
Awesome! What font did you use for the “Paid for” message?
Hi Brian –
That font is a light condensed version of Helvetica. Glad you enjoyed it.
