This is all taken directly from their site:





The rumblings you've been hearing in the criminal underground since July indeed are true: At long last, we are seeking new applicants to the League.1

Aspirants to new heights of Evil should submit a video application that meets the terms below.

* It should be no more than three minutes in length.
* There should be little to no swearing.2
* Dialogue, logos, and music must be original.3
* You must be evil (bonus to have a name).
* Your video application should be posted to YouTube or Vimeo.
* Email us a link to the video, with your contact information.4
* October 11 is the last day to submit.

The best applicants, as determined by the League or its designated agents, will be included on a special DVD commemorating our most recent member.



Make the bad horse gleeful, or he'll make you his mare.

1. Henchmen need not apply. Please contact your union.
2. Evil can be something of a family affair.
3. We're evil, not stupid.
4. Finalists may be contacted by the League or its agents.

They didn't make the announcement in the form of a Bad Horse song. Fail.

I think we're supposed to right (edit: of course I meant write) our own songs. Fail? Perhaps they are failing so hard the needle spins around back to win. Don't know.

Does anybody know of a decent free to cheep video authoring package?

I have been thinking of sending a video response to Dr. Horrible where I already have come up with a persona and a link to the Dr. Horrible world, but I cannot sing worth a damn. I was thinking of adding that ability to sing badly as a backup weapon or reference proving my horribleness.

Try just speaking in rhythm to the song. Really it works.

I sort of have the makings of a good song to go with my reply. It will be very short.

There's Windows Movie Maker that's probably already installed on your system. You can also try http://jahshaka.org/index.php. It's open source, all though it does have a bit of a learning curve, and you only have two weeks.

Yeah, I do have that. The last time I played around with it I couldn't figure out how to get it to save in something other than a really proprietary file format (wmv) that I'm not sure the league reads.

I wrote myself a one page script and will try to purchase a costume to fit my persona tomorrow. What would you use for fake gold bars?

Actually, they require you to post it to YouTube or Vimeo, which automatically convert it for you. YouTube supports pretty much every format out there, so it shouldn't be a problem.

The video editing is actually the least of my own concerns. I can sing, but I don't write music.

If I had a working e-mail, I would so do this. Too bad, so sad.
I guess I'll just have to be evil on my own time!!!

'Cause your friends don't dance,
And if they don't dance, well,
They're no Friends of mine,
Say, we can go where we want to,
A Place where they will never find,
And we can act like we come from out of this world,
Leave the Real one far behind

Find a nice simple tune in the public domain (something like this perhaps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkle_twinkle_little_star ) and just write new lyrics.

The song I wrote is only four lines long. While I am evil, I do believe in mercy.

The site is very specific that it must be original. I think I found someone to help me though. Two weeks isn't very long. This is gonna get crazy, but that's what I live for!

Do up your own lyrics and it is. Though I guess if the league really wants a reason to reject your application then they might use that as an excuse.
