Video: Celebrities get out the vote for celebrity

Via JWF, it’s same M.O. as the Paltrow ad: There’s no explicit endorsement of either candidate but everyone knows who they’re all voting for.
Why are these cretinous celebrity GOTV spots always 3-5 times as long as they should be? Face time demands?

Leo was in growing pains??????

That’s as far as I made it. If I ever hear one of these people ever call Sarah Palin dumb……..
Editor on October 1, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Thanks battle, I was just about to say that morons who don’t do any of the basic research and then try to “act” like they have a clue drives me nuts. I loathe them all.
bbz123 on October 1, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Paltrow????? She is a mousy as they come. Not enough chin.
bloggless on October 1, 2008 at 9:54 PM
kinda long,, I lost interest.

“EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE TAKEN CARE OF WHEN THEY ARE SICK”
Helloooooo socialism creep.
I agree with that statement, but that’s what my church is for… the ‘taking care of’.
Govt shalt not touch my health care… as much as bluecrossbluesheild stinks, i’ll take them over the PostOffice-DMV version of health care any day

When you’re doing a PSA is getting bleeped a good thing or a bad thing?
Tommy_G on October 1, 2008 at 9:56 PM
Take note of the one moron’s Keffiyeh.
What do they mention? Gay rights, abortion rights, gun control, universal health care, etc.. Part of the left’s GOTV effort.
amerpundit on October 1, 2008 at 9:58 PM
i dont care if mccain governs as his usual moderate dem or as a repub, just PLEASE PLEASE win on nov 4th. outright. i will tivo as many newscasts as i can and every ‘leno’ and ‘letterman’ celebrity ‘interview’ for the week after that.
i dont like ’schadenfruede’, but MAN i can’t wait to see the ‘looks on their faces’
battleoflepanto1571 on October 1, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Shaming people to vote. Scaring people to vote.
There is something severely wrong with a party that has to beg people to vote year after year.
If they are not smart enough to know they should vote, should they really be voting?
freedomplow on October 1, 2008 at 9:59 PM
I especially like the guy who had to have that paper in his hand to read off “1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment”. Thanks for chiming in, deeply intellectual class!
Spirit of 1776 on October 1, 2008 at 9:59 PM
What human, insect, or speck would give a damn what the most obnoxious person in existence, Ashton Kutcher, thinks. I didn’t make it past 15 seconds.
Marcus on October 1, 2008 at 10:01 PM
They’re obviously speaking to the crowd who worships them. The dumbed-down, doped-out, apathetic crowd who had to be told 100 times to “get a job” by their parents – before moving out and then moving back in and using the basement to smoke dope with their friends. AND THEY STILL WON’T VOTE!!
warriorlawyer on October 1, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Gee, now I don’t feel so bad about all those booteg DVDs.
BDavis on October 1, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Incidentally, I just went to Google’s home page.
“Sign up to vote in your state. Get registered today!”
amerpundit on October 1, 2008 at 10:02 PM
If Ashton Kutcher supported McCain, I’d be joining the Obama children’s choir this minute.
Marcus on October 1, 2008 at 10:02 PM
OMG! I wasn’t going to vote until I saw this video. Thanks for reminding that I need to vote.
I’m totally going vote for Bush/Cheney Nov. 2!
Oh wait….
terryannonline on October 1, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Ugh. I hate insufferable celebrities. Shut UP!
Topsecretk9 on October 1, 2008 at 10:03 PM
If history is any indicator, they never really succeed getting out the vote. And since at least one of them has never bothered to register, they expose themselves for the dopes they really are.
Blake on October 1, 2008 at 10:03 PM
“reading, literacy?!?”
Yup, cuz the President has the power to make our kids read good and do other stuff good too.
libertytexan on October 1, 2008 at 10:04 PM
can i ask an honest question? other than gay marriage, what ‘civil rights’ are denied to gays currently? i assume that hospitals let partners come and visit (or at least i was if i was on duty), that’s just the right thing to do. also, any will or contract can specify who gets what at one partner’s passing.
i hate the phrase ‘civil rights’ because it makes it sound like gays can’t vote or have free speech. i’m not at all one of those types muttering to bring back those stupid sodomy laws, i just would like to know what “civil rights” are missing gays, other than a church saying “we, the southern baptists recognize you as married under God”
Am I missing something? seriously? last time i checked the right honorable rep. frank had full access to destroy fannie, freddie, and supposedly the modern banking system, and barney’s been ‘out’ since the 1970s.
i just don’t get the ‘civil rights’ bit. where i’m from, my gay friends and straight friends and myself are fully able to use the same water fountains and the same parts of a movie theater………
battleoflepanto1571 on October 1, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Yeah, I thought that was funny. As if one of the candidates was against children reading. LOL!
terryannonline on October 1, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Tell you what, I have never NOT voted but having these clowns laundry-list me makes me want to skip it this year, just because they said so.
Bishop on October 1, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Well…I got to 1:29 before I started to…SCREAM AT MY KIDS, KICK THE CAT, THROW AN ASHTRAY THROUGH THE WINDOW AND CALL UP MY EX-WIFE TO TELL HER EVERYTHING I’VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE WAS WRONG!
I…I…feel much better now…thank you Hollywood.
Over.
1GooDDaDDy on October 1, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Wow – so many juvenile attacks … grow up.
At the end of the day, the more people that vote, the better. We have a TERRIBLE record in voter turnout (and while that may be partially for having it on a non-holiday Tuesday), asking people to vote is a good idea.
A Axe on October 1, 2008 at 10:06 PM
duh? They have their right to their piece of the special interest pie!
But in all seriousness, people should be offended by comparisons of the gay rights movement to the civil rights movement back in the 60s. And I say that as someone who is pro gay marriage (well anti any government marriage).
libertytexan on October 1, 2008 at 10:08 PM

Much better video here.

Cardiganfox on October 1, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Well it ring more genuine and honest if most of the people in this video didn’t already state which Party they want to win.
terryannonline on October 1, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Hey, morons. Nobody likes you or watches your movies and TV shows because they think you’re political geniuses. You people can’t even manage your own homes or lives; you pay people to do it for you. Stop pretending that we give a rat’s a$$ what you think.
AubieJon on October 1, 2008 at 10:10 PM
maybe, but this is a (very) thinly vieled attempt to get OBAMA voters.
ashton kutcher and demi moore were screaming about mccain and iowa U the last week.
laura linney (literacy?) bashed palin at the emmys
leo, forrest whitaker, et al were in that stupid “yes we can part 2 – PRAYER TO OBAMA” worship vid
sarah silverman has another stupid obama vid on funnyordie.com threatnening not to visit any jewish grandparents unless FLorida goes to “O”
hallie barry (’this is for dorothy!’ ad nauseum) has made her political views (wacko) well known
i wouldnt mind if they had someone that wasnt IN THE TANK
or to put it another way, how about a PSA with Hannity, OReilly, Glenn Beck, and Rush saying “go vote!” do you honestly think the left would say ‘what a great idea, increase the voters!”
battleoflepanto1571 on October 1, 2008 at 10:10 PM
In other words:
EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT!
Hell, it makes me want to not vote.

If it was truly important, Andy Griffith would be in it.
Scribbler on October 1, 2008 at 10:11 PM
I like the low voter turnout. Got a problem with that?
VolMagic on October 1, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Do you know how much pollution these pigs are responsible for? How many dogs died so that Demi Moore might attempt to stave off aging? They kill the dogs, Demi. They kill the dogs that they test your surgical interventions on.

I got the point after 10 seconds. So why was this four and a freakin’ half minutes long???

I think that people ought to pass a test before they are allowed to vote! Maybe you could ask them what SCOTUS decision they disagree with.

Silverman got one thing right. Their plan is like herpes.
Ronnie on October 1, 2008 at 10:26 PM
I have no problem withinformwd people voting regardless of what POV they have.
I’ve never understood why people think everyone should vote though. How is the country better served by large numbers of uninformed people being bused in to vote.
JadeNYU on October 1, 2008 at 10:30 PM

That’s what I get for posting from an iPhone.

This one is more interesting and effective.
Dorvillian on October 1, 2008 at 10:38 PM
So who was the girl with the shortish brown hair? And who was the “poop” girl?
I looked at the clock at 1:58 and groaned…
If they are so concerned about healthcare, etc., maybe they could volunteer 90% of their income in taxes and still live off the remaining 10%. If all the Lib celebs did that, everyone could afford healthcare! I think I’m going to create my own ad.
Mr_Magoo on October 1, 2008 at 10:39 PM
These clowns suffer from “rich guilt” and want to exorcise their demons on the country.

Are you kidding? You’re a liberal! He’d kick your a$$.
AubieJon on October 1, 2008 at 10:43 PM
I’m proud to say I don’t have a clue who Ashton Kutcher is. For that matter, I didn’t recognize most of the people in the video, but I guessing that they were all Hollywood leftist. What type of RINO elitist does my ignorance make me?
thuja on October 1, 2008 at 10:49 PM
And exactly how many of those faces did you see in the Mid West when it was getting flooded? You know, like Katrina, you couldn’t swing a stick without hitting a Hollywood star.
I was soooooo disappointed. Even more so that Matt Damon didn’t participate in this video. I mean, he’s scared to death, he said so, I heard him say so. Maybe he’s still hiding in the master bedroom closet with his “teddy”.
Hog Wild on October 1, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Made it to 1:43! Where’s my prize?!
David Combs on October 1, 2008 at 10:54 PM
So, when next year everyone finally agrees that the earth is actually cooling, and that the Holocene Era has been, on the whole, a comfortable thing for Mother Earth, will these assholes make a video to apologize?
JudetheFossil on October 1, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Add “Polar bears are vicious animals that should be exterminated, not protected” to the list.
Darth Executor on October 1, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Excellent. I’ve been saying the same thing for a while and people look at me like I was suggesting people should have to pass a test to be allowed to eat or something. Idiots shouldn’t have the power to vote.
pannw on October 1, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Wow ! Any chance they are targeting unregistered republicans ?
I think Leo is just upset about his huge forehead and the fact that he apparantly will never be manly enough to play a leading man.

Roger Waters on October 1, 2008 at 11:36 PM
There… fixed the fix.
kiltedscotsman5 on October 1, 2008 at 11:37 PM
Do they expect this garbage to be watched by anyone? The first minute is about as far as I went, I mean if they wanted to cut it at the 30 second mark it looks like its not headed in one direction, but then they start blabbering like fools. I guess its good though that everytime these idiots open their mouths Obama looks like more of a tool.
And damn I seriously would like to fist fight Jamie Foxx, can that no talent turd be anyworse, guess he still doesn’t know what his “scarf” is all about.
These fools need to get a real education and then try to debate politics, I saw a collective IQ of about 73.
Rbastid on October 1, 2008 at 11:37 PM
And actually… no, I really DON’T care about the ice caps. I really really don’t.

“Made it to 1:43! Where’s my prize?!
David Combs on October 1, 2008 at 10:54 PM”
I made it about 15 seconds. Weak stomach.
Star20 on October 1, 2008 at 11:46 PM
Also, did anybody notice that Jamie Foxx apparently didn’t get the memo?
HEY DUMBA$$, IT’S NOT “GLOBAL WARMING” ANYMORE, IT’S “CLIMATE CHANGE!”
Sheesh, can’t these Lefties even keep up with their own talking points anymore??? I suppose you can’t blame them… they’re just actors, and this stuff switches around, what, once every six months or so? Honestly.
…. I really should give the guy a break…
kiltedscotsman5 on October 1, 2008 at 11:55 PM
The only reason I stayed with it as long as I did was to find out which one of them said you could register to vote while you’re “pooping”.
This thing is like a video electronic bull.
capitalist piglet on October 1, 2008 at 11:56 PM
END – WINDFALL – PROFITS – FOR – CELEBRITIES!
badpenguin on October 1, 2008 at 11:59 PM
I’m gonna play the libertarian card here again…
If you can’t get off your f*cking fat ass and go to one of the thousands of places appointed, fill out a single piece of paper, then go back in November and punch a few button, poke some holes in a card, pull a lever, etc. Then I agree with DeCrapia, DON’T VOTE, ASSHOLE! Because if you can’t muster that much energy, then it is likely you have know idea what the right means, you haven’t learned a thing, and your just a Cause-head and are voting because you think Obama is cute, or you need to save the polar bears (puleese), or because you’ve heard on the web like 1,000,000,000 times that Bush is an idiot. Anyway, do everyone a favor and go have a latte instead. Here, I’ll even buy it for you.
Personally, if it gets to the point that you can register and vote while taking a dump, I quit.
Falconsword on October 2, 2008 at 12:08 AM
I am very proud that I have no idea who about half of those people even are.

Why do celebrities think we are crying out for angry, condescending, passive-aggressive ads?
Speedwagon82 on October 2, 2008 at 12:27 AM
How is liking one person over another ‘IN THE TANK?’ You are really mad at them for trying to get more voters out? What exactly is stopping any of the guys you mentioned doing PSAs? Huh? Where are they?
If they did a video saying ‘Go out and vote’ what would you think of an idiot on the left yelling ‘THEY ARE IN THE TANK’ ?
And how exactly do you intend on doing that? A test underlines education … which we all know has a very liberal presence.
A Axe on October 2, 2008 at 12:38 AM
I could not watch the whole thing. Toby Maguire. Damn. Oh well. It was offensive. Especially the part where they say “you do know you have to register to vote, right” and the look on their face, as if to say, you are just too stupid to figure this out. Phooey on them.
Glynn on October 2, 2008 at 1:41 AM
Yeah, I know it was silly and stupid and too long and whatever, but it did get me to check out the website they mentioned, and I found out through the web that my voting status is Inactive and I actually do have 4 more days to get registered.
Of course, I couldn’t figure out how to activate myself online, and the best I could do is change my address… I hope that’s good enough.
So, their plan has backfired and one more McCain vote is hopefully going to go through.
askheaves on October 2, 2008 at 1:50 AM
It would have been better if Ashton had ran out and told them all that they had just been “Punk’d”.

And now for something really scary.

Translated as: “Don’t vote for McCain.”
Seriously, shut the f*&$ up.
m064404 on October 2, 2008 at 2:11 AM
I am feeling so outnumbered. It just freaks me out, this mantra, passive aggressive or not, to vote for Obama. The pressure is exquisite..worse than ever. How can people not submit to the Messiah? My brain could only take a few seconds of this. It is funny how they pretend objectivity, though. You guys…I’m scared
