Think you can lampoon George W. Bush better than the rest? Give it a shot, and you might win a prize and recognition from Oliver Stone.


Stone, whose biopic of the younger Bush, W., comes out next week, has partnered with YouTube to offer a contest in which anyone can use footage of the president to create his or her own "mash-up" video trailer for Stone's film.


As you can probably guess, the film won't exactly take a sympathetic approach to its subject -- its tag line, after all, is "Anyone Can Grow Up To Be President." So laudatory, glowing portraits of our current Commander-in-Chief might not garner much praise from Stone.


As a veteran chronicler of famous politicians, namely John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, Oliver Stone never seems to disappoint. He's especially talented at making sense of nonsensical situations, and turning them into compelling, historically accurate narratives.


But this is the first time he's tackled a subject who hasn't even left the Oval Office yet.
