"Currently most of the funds are earmarked for making more videos, however we are always looking for other opportunities where a few coins can go a long way towards promoting Bitcoin. If you have any ideas, send us an email!"
They did a great job on the animated movie.
I've just asked them to start the following ad:
Are you tired of watching the value of the dollar plummet?
Are you tired of banks charging you fees?
Do you want to take back control of your own money?
Then take a look at Bitcoin!
Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized, anonymous internet currency, and is gaining popularity every day.
It's free to use, free to accept, and free from inflation---forever!
You can use bitcoins anywhere in the world, and their value will only grow with time.
To learn more, visit weusecoins.org. That’s weusecoins.org
We can still change it at any time in the future.
We also need to come up with a 30 second recorded ad.
I will post the audio of the first ad once it runs.

Well if it's going to push weusecoins, we could use the same guy who narrated that.
Another idea, more conversational:
Cash register sounds and commotion
CLERK: That's $428.57, please.
CUSTOMER: Can you believe what groceries cost these days?
FRIEND: Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? And it's only getting worse!
CUSTOMER: Inflation. What can you do?
FRIEND: Well, you could use Bitcoin instead.
CUSTOMER: Bitcoin? What's that?
FRIEND: Bitcoin is a new worldwide digital currency. It's free to use and accept.
CUSTOMER: Free!?
FRIEND: Yes, free! No one owns Bitcoin, so there's no one to charge you for it. And best of all, bitcoins actually gain value over time!
CUSTOMER: So prices in Bitcoin will go down over time instead of up?
FRIEND: I started using bitcoins when they were worth only fifty cents each---now they're worth over three dollars!
CUSTOMER: Wow, maybe I will start using them! Thanks!
FRIEND: No problem! To learn more, visit weusecoins.com.

I agree, I think that's a fantastic idea. Maybe they could get like, Neal Patrick Harris to read the recorded advertisement.
You really need to contact Justmoon.
He has said that there is BTC left over from the animated movie bounty that can go towards stuff like this (can't find where anymore, this forum is becoming unworkably large) ... working in with weusecoins.com will make it smoother experience for the newcomers, i.e. direct them there to watch the weusecoins clip on youtube.

I like the "Do you want to take back control of your own money?" better then "Are you sick of the gov't bailing out Wall St?"
Well, there's possibly room for both: "Are you sick of the government using your money to bail out Wall Street? Then take back control with Bitcoin!" etc.
Are you tired of watching the value of the dollar plummet?
Are you tired of banks and these rich cock suckers taking away your last pennies?
Are you sick of incompetent gov't taking away the last freedoms you have? Did you know your money is used for murder and torture?

It is the world's first decentralized, anonymous internet currency - it can not be controlled nor shut down.
It's free to use, free to accept, and free from inflation---forever!
You can use bitcoins to buy anything you want anywhere in the world, so get your AK-47 today and kill a banker. Make the world a better place!

If you ask me... this is really good!

It is free from arbitrary or unknown inflation forever. That is, if you define "Bitcoin" as the current set of rules in place, everyone will always know what the inflation rate is at any time. This allows entrepreneurs and investors to accurately take into effect the cost of inflation when determining profitability.
Great idea! Very generous, though I'm hopeful your investment will have generational returns by helping Bitcoin go mainstream.
One question: is it accurate to say Bitcoin is free from inflation forever, given that there are still millions of BTC to be mined?

According to my journalism teachers (way back when) leading with questions let's your audience too easily answer "no" in their minds and subsequently tune out. I always thought that effect was a little overstated, but still it's real.
Plus, questions aren't really direct or "oomphy," among other things.
How about replacing those first three lines with something like this:
"The dollars in your wallet are losing their value every day.
Don't let inflation and central banking policies erode the value of your hard earned money."

Repetition is effective:
"Again, go to weusecoins.com to learn more. weusecoins.com"
"Again, go to weusecoins.com to learn more. weusecoins.com"
We actually have an additional 5 seconds or so that we can use.
Any ideas what we should say with those extra 5 seconds?

Here are some of the most important changes I made:
My only concern is that my version sounds a bit hokey to my ears. But maybe others will think it sounds okay. Anyway, that's just a suggestion---feel free to use any, all, or none of it.

Here are some of the most important changes I made:
- Removed the "investor" angle. Most people don't have any investments at all, and they aren't really looking for one---but "dollars losing value" and "banks charging fees" are gripes they're familiar with.
- Mentioned anonymity once but didn't make it a major selling point. A person who has no problem giving their Gmail password to Facebook will not understand why anonymity matters, and may think this is some shady money laundering thing. (And they're not supposed to find that out until they're initiated!)
- Focused on the "free as in beer" aspect. The fact that no one controls Bitcoin is important, but hard to get across in 30 seconds. Best to leave it out if we can't make it clear.
- Replaced bitcoin.org with weusecoins.org---bitcoin.org is a better project site, but weusecoins.org is a better promotional site.

This version sounds better. If you need save a few seconds then this line could go or be replaced. "Do you want to take back control of your own money?" Maybe replace it with, "Are you sick of the gov't bailing out Wall St?" (People are impulsive and emotional and we should use this to our advantage.)

Oh one more thing...its weusecoins.com NOT .org!!!
There is only one major change I would make.
You can't really use Bitcoins to "buy or sell just about anything", at least not in the way most people will think. You can probably find someone to buy you just about anything, and then you pay them in Bitcoins, but you can't buy the thing yourself.

He seems to be sold out at the moment, but with this service, I would assume you can buy just about anything:

How about this version?
Are you tired of watching the value of the dollar plummet?
Are you tired of governments being able to monitor your finances?
Then it is time to start using Bitcoin!
Bitcoin is the worlds first decentralized, anonymous currency and is gaining popularity every day.
They act like digital coins that you can send through the internet.
They are transfered directly from person to person without going through a bank or clearing house.
You can already use them in any country around the world to buy or sell just about anything.

I just don't feel very good about the "Do you want to earn a lot of money?" part.
Sounds a little bit like a scam. And I don't think people should join bitcoin because of the promise of earning 800%
I would focus the campain in other features of bitcoin that are just as awesome as this.

Yeah me too, but still, people do it a lot on these investment-oriented ads. Look at those on bitcoincharts for example.
Maybe if they do it it's because it works... :p
