Google's Hollywood pals try to bore the young into voting
Because Google cares about the children, it has asked a bunch of Hollywood celebrities to create a public service announcement urging young folks to vote — for Barack Obama, against California's Proposition 8, and for San Francisco's Proposition K. Kidding! We just tried to slip the decriminalization of prostitution in there in the hopes you'll be confused and think your Googley overlords publicly endorsed it (but lord would it ever piss of the evangelicals, bless their little hearts). No, it's all very superficially bipartisan. It's also four and a half minutes long, two minutes of which attempt lame reverse psychology and the rest bad to middling attempts at humor, finishing with Dustin Hoffman creepily flirting with some young production assistant. So far? 172,325 views. But hey, that'd be enough votes for Prop K to win!
