Alright folks, as promised, I'm pleased to announce the latest addition to Kid Mercury's World: The Jason Calacanis Song Contest! The idea is to perform your own version of a song asking Jason to remove the lies from Mahalo about 9/11. Anything goes here: it can be an original song, or it can be a cover song in which you change the lyrics. Just upload it to YouTube with the tag "jasoncalacanissong" (without the quotes) and it'll automatically get imported here into our forum for the contest. We'll announce a deadline later -- after which we'll invite those esteemed individuals who have been placed on our list of kooks (the highest of honors once can receive here in Kid Mercury's World) to judge all entries to determine a winner. The prize? 1,000 MercBucks!!!! Hey, don't laugh: it won't be long before MercBucks are worth just as much as US dollars.

For newer readers who may be like, "wtf are you picking on Jason for?" Well, I'm not really picking on Jason. You see, Jason, being the ever vigilant defender of the web that he is, attacked internationally renowned marketer Seth Godin's charity site, Squidoo.com, for having some ringtone spam. In his brutal assault on Seth, Jason asked readers to notify him if ever engages in "information pollution." Turns out that our buddy Jason actually has some inaccuracies on the pages of his web directory, Mahalo. The Mahalo page for 9/11 states that Bin Laden organized the 9/11 attacks, and that the 19 hijackers who allegedly carried out the attacks are dead. These statements are listed under the "Fast Facts" section of the page.

These statements are simply not true. The FBI admits there is no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.Here are countless articles on the Internet discussing this issue. Moreover, some of the 19 hijackers that allegedly crashed two planes into two buildings to cause three buildings (don't forget about building 7) to fall at near free fall speed have been reported to be alive. Here is a video summary explaining how the hijackers have been found alive; here is a breakdown in text format, complete with citations.

I hope you'll join me in helping Jason remove the lies from Mahalo -- that is, after all, what he asked for. I'm going to kick things off with an original song I wrote entitled "Jason Calacanis, Stop Lying About 9/11." Readers of this blog know that I've asked Jason to remove the lies from the Mahalo 9/11 many times before; in fact, that is the entire purpose of the Jason Calacanis Game. Jason hasn't made the correction yet. That's strange, since he asked to be informed of when he was lying, and has been attacking others for "polluting the infovironment." I guess the message just hasn't reached Jason yet, so I guess I'll have to keep trying a variety of formats, making my message louder, and marketing it across all channels. After all, Jason asked to be informed when he's polluting, and friends always help friends out, so I want to make sure I help my good buddy Jason out.

And I hope you'll join me. Write your own song or make a cover song encouraging Jason to remove the lies about 9/11 from Mahalo. That's the only way the Jason Calacanis Game ends. And it's the only way everyone can win the game.
