Thanks for the folks at SocialTimes, I came across one of the coolest Kickstarter campaigns that I have seen yet.  ”Kentucky for Kentucky” is aiming to accomplish the following:

With your help, we are going to crowd-fund, produce, and air the most epically kick ass Super Bowl 2012 commercial for the great Commonwealth of Kentucky. For Kentucky by Kentuckians. That’s what it means to a be a Commonwealth. It’s a project that Kentuckians all around the world will be proud to be apart of. Join us, become a Kentuckian.

While I was not born in Kentucky, I have become an adopted son since moving here in 2008.  After all, I married a Kentucky girl and enjoy a good glass of Kentucky bourbon.  So there is nothing I would like to see more than our great state celebrated on the world’s biggest stage.

The campaign has raised $70K thus far but they have a long ways to go in order to reach their goal by November 7th.  I’m hoping that one of the state’s large corporations (Yum! Brand, Humana, or even Zappos) might get behind the cause.  If you agree, please do your part and head over to Kickstarter.
