This is tempting

I found out about this contest, in which a large library of George Bush audio has been made available for download, while reading an old copy of Remix magazine. And it seems to tempting to pass up. Here is the website's description.

Think you're pretty good with audio editing? Do you have some original music that you can make Bush rap along to? Are you ready to go toe to toe with The Bots Fuzzy Math and demonstrate your mixing and parody prowess? Do you want to win some incredible audio software prizes? Then The Bush Raps (Re)Mix Contest is for you!

The Bots are having a contest in the next few months to see who can come up with the most interesting use of the database. Think of it as a remix contest if you want, but the idea is, we'd like to see what you can do with the George W. Bush Public Domain Audio Archive. We're giving you the tools to make the president rap, even tell the truth. The database is optimized to inspire creative word mangling. The only limit is your imagination. If you come up with something good, send a link to it(we cannot host your files, if you have a problem hosting files, contact the bots). We will setup a vote on this page, and we will be offering some awesome prizes to the best mixes, including:

* 2 copies of Phatmatic Pro from Bitshift Audio
* 1 copy of Unison / Micron from ConcreteFx
* 1 copy of Orion Pro from Synapse Audio

More prizes may be announced soon. How to get started? Download some Bush samples. Make Bush rap on top of your original music, and post an mp3 of the mix on your website. Then submit a link to your creation to the bots. We will post the links on this page, and let people vote on the best ones. The winners will get the prizes listed above. You are encouraged to make some original music to mix with the samples. Even if you aren't very musically inclined, there are a lot of tools out there that will allow you to mix the Bush samples with some sort of original music.
