Celebrities want you to vote. Seriously now

After previously imploring us not to vote, those Snobbywood celebs have come out with a new ad (above) that turns that conceit on its head. We should vote! Does this make anyone else want to gag a little? See, they can't do it, folks—they just can't be glib about something as important as voting, even with director Steven Spielberg urging them just to read the damn lines. Since the whole ad is a spoof on ensemble-cast celeb PSAs, I find it hard to swallow the "We need to get serious" attitude. It just doesn't blend. If the medium is the message, in this case: Vote, don't vote, just don't lose your cynicism.
