"Don't Vote," Please, just make this video stop

I'm sure many of you have already seen this video, but just in case you haven't, here it is.

From DeclareYourself.com and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, every single Hollywood celeb that could be found is in here, telling you to register and to go vote. But they do it in this sneaky reverse psychology way, telling you, "Don't vote." Aha.

The video touches on most of the big topics of the day, including global warming.

I like movies and TV and music and voting as much as the next gal, but this might be the most annoying celebrity video I have ever seen.

What do you think?

If you need to be berated by celebrities to get your apathetic butt to a voting booth, then seriously, DON'T VOTE!

This is a pretentious, condescending, self important video. And the Anniston comment about not having five friends..? She should be ashamed. Some people don't have five friends. The world can be very lonely for some people. I will not be forwarding this video to anyone.

I agree, I thought that comment was kind of insensitive.

That seems like a lot of current celeb firepower to be wasted on a single shot of reverse psych and an Apple set.

But I'm glad they found time to get this ad done. It doesn't "reach" me, but I'm already there. Maybe it reaches a few hundred ... thousand ... tens of thousands of kids who just won't get off the dime until a celeb says that polar ice matters or wars cost lives. And that's the way it goes, so bravo. Bravo to the them for trying.

How about this? Educate yourself about the impact and ramifications of your decisions and then, if you're comfortable, vote. "I don't even know what Darfur is!" God, what a retard. If you don't know what Darfur is, you sure as hell shouldn't be voting.
