V Weeks of V: Super Hero Contest

April 12th, 2012

We’re over the hump now. Only two contests left. We have our Silver Transaction Contest winner and we’re moving on. Plus you can still get a custom avatar by submitting a picture and a story to our Make Me A Rebel contest. Every entry gets a Custom Rebel Avatar (Check out and for examples), but the best story wins the final contest at the end of V Weeks of V.

For this week’s V contest we’re bringing it back to V for Vendetta’s comic book roots. Here are the details. 

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has launched some “Educational Resources” that include a crappy little animated series called Currency Crusaders of Justice.” (For the Feds we know read our blog, leave the animation to us. We’re perfectly capable of educating people about the Federal Reserve without you.) The animation is choppy, the voice acting is terrible, and when their hero flies around the world the world spins the wrong way. Seriously, it isn’t worth the exorbitant amount of time it takes to load each episode.

Their hero is a cocky narcissist named Jack Of All Trades who drags his plucky sidekick Andrew around the world to learn about currency by buying coffee in a half dozen different markets. They are eventually confronted by a villain named Miss Information who threatens to rob the world of economic certainty. And of course, the Federal Reserve courageously saves the world from evils of Inflation. It’s the most idiotic propaganda.

So, we’ve taken the initiative and converted Jack Of All Trades into the evil doer he really is.

Here’s the contest. We want you to design an anti-Fed super hero to vanquish this venal and virulent vermin. Give us a sketch, or a short story. Anything you like really. If you want to get really ambicious maybe you can repurpose an old super hero costume and give a short video. The more creative the better, and the best story wins a V mask.

Like always you can enter by posting in the comments section below. Or you can post on  or drop us .  We’ll announce the winner next Thursday when we launch the next contest.
