A little company with a lot of heart and a formula for channeling political outrage
Blue Funk Productions
was founded by four friends in the wake of the unimaginable 2004 election results (hence our company name). Rather than high-tail it to Canada (a very real and attractive option at the time), we decided to channel our energies into creating humorous political gifts that would entertain and educate other stunned voters, while helping to fund non-profit organizations.
Our banner product was The 2006 Official Countdown Calendar for Despondent Democrats and Other Thinking People. We followed this up with our 2007 Official Countdown Calendar for a Bruised and Battered Body Politic . A huge thank-you to all of you 2006 and 2007 Countdown Calendar owners! We hope these calendars have buoyed your flagging spirits in the face of the constant onslaught of bad news over the past few years.
Encouraged by the clear message sent by our countrymen/women in the 2006 midterm elections, we decided that our 2008 countdown should reflect the nascent optimism of better things to come. So, our final (yippee!) countdown calendar to the next inauguration is entitled: The Official Countdown Calendar for a Bushed, Bullied, but Emboldened America. (Note the "Emboldened".) We may be bloodied, but we’re still standing - and with our collective sense of humor intact! This calendar is now available for purchase - just hop over to our Store page for a sneak peek at some of the artwork.
And while you're shopping, look what else we've wrought! While you're crossing off those bushy days on your Countdown Calendar, you might need other ways to revel in the ebbing impact of this administration. So we've created a Bush Memo Pad, featuring the smug little mug of our feckless leader, and saluting a few of his "accomplishments". All in a term's work...And we're also sharing with our friends a limited edition poster of one of our favorite pieces of calendar art: the GWB View of the World . A little time with this poster, and it'll all become clear. You'll feel like a little neo-con yourself.
Climb out of your blue funk and help us make a difference! Ten percent of our net profits are pledged to charitable causes we care deeply about.
