Ashton and Demi Want You to Vote (for Obama)

Superstar marrieds Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are in the middle of a little tour of Iowa, that swing state with so many universities. Supposedly they’re doing a Rock the Vote type of appearance, just lending their star power to encourage college students to register to vote before the election.

Except then the couple put out this lame MySpace video, again telling people to vote … but this time, specifically for Obama.

I think if you’re going to be at all effective in registering more young people to vote, you have to be nonpartisan about it. You’re just losing credibility when you pretend like it’s important that all young people register and make their voices heard, and then you later come out and it’s clear you only care about one party’s members in particular.

Plus I still hate Ashton Kutcher for putting trucker hats on the map. Yes, I am a champion grudge holder.

    I wish I could zoom back on that photo to see where they are, because it sure looks like he’s taking NOTES at a fashion show. Who wouldn’t kill to get a glimpse at that page?

    “Blue is pretty. I like shiny dresses. Would Bruce appreciate a nice tie for Christmas? Maybe a pack of adult diapers? Why don’t more models wear trucker hats?”

    My 19 year old son was approached at college in regards to registering to vote. When he told them he is not a US citizen the woman told him that doesn’t matter and he could register anyways. He told her it ‘does matter - a lot’ and still she followed him trying to persuade him to register. Care to guess which candidate’s t-shirt she was wearing?

    Che Guevara personally murdered hundreds of people and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

    Barack Obama plans to raise taxes on people making more than $250,000/yr, right?

    Well, gosh…don’t movie stars make more than that? Or does the money go into an evil corporation and they draw a salary?

    They won’t tell those college kids that Dear Leader Obama plans to force them to “volunteer” at least 100 hours a year.

    Well Strawberry, if that’s true I hope he wins then they can all come over to my house and mow my lawn. Scratch that, winter’s coming. Shovel my sidewalk.

    “Superstar marrieds Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore” … he’s never been one and she’s hasn’t been one for ages. When will celebrities learn that their public endorsement only lead to public mockery of the candidate (anyone remember FOBs).

    That is an interesting photo for at least a couple of reasons. One is that it really does appear that Ashton is taking notes, or at least finishing up some homework, and also, what is that on Demi’s head? What about that strange female head floating right above hers? Now that I look at it again, what is that other strange thing right above her shoulder? Hey, another thing: why does ANYBODY care about fashion? All these celebs talking green politics (which I generally support myself), and here they are wasting valuable time looking at skinny girls in ridiculous clothes like clothing really matters in the grand scheme of things. Another instance of diddling while Rome burns….

    This sort of thing is why kids don’t take their right to vote seriously. If they had remained mum on who they were supporting, I would have been happy to see them encouraging the whippersnappers to register, but when will these idiot celebrities learn that endorsing this or that candidate just makes them annoying?

    Sounds like me. It’s called Irish Alzheimer’s Disease… I forget everything but a grudge.

    Obama and all his scummy, no good, loser supporters know what they can go do with themselves.

  14. 14 Rocko Oct 1st, 2008 at 10:38 pm

    They’re married? Well at least Bruce Willis can say he got to it before Ashton.

  15. 15 MilwaukeeBill Oct 1st, 2008 at 11:00 pm

    G’damn!
    I thought we were going to see the light! (AMEN)
    At the Rev.Wright temple and universal ATM machine and here comes these RICH white folks to tells us how to vote?
    Did not the revolution tell us what to do with the people in the BIG HOUSE?
    (Dripping with sarcasm)
    It amazes me that the cream of Hollywood would abandon their own self interest to push voting for a self aggrandized socialist for president.Obama is no stranger either to class warfare or racial anger.This is a classic case of elitist beliefs superimposed over common sense and colored with the rose colored lense of self-deceit.

    I didn’t think Ashton was old enough to vote.

  17. 17 Pastfarian Oct 2nd, 2008 at 3:35 pm

    He’s not bigmama. But doesn’t he look cute in that “Sear’s Sunday Best” catalog outfit? Who wants to bet Demi’s got his scarf, and one of those Sherlock Holmes-y type hats hanging in the coat check room.

    I bet there’s no words on that note pad. Just cool fighter jets, shooting machine guns at giant boxy robots, or something.

    Neither he or she has had real any job or offers for any job in a while. Got to keep the name in the news some way, otherwise you might end up pushing cameras on t.v. (oh wait, that’s already happening). Guess it’s better than infomercials. ( Hi, I’m ___ ____, (fill in the blank) hollywood SUPERSTAR here tell you all about the benifits of ________. (fill in your choice (pimple creme, pilates workouts, various make ups, etc…)

    Jenn-You’re full of ,and you know it.

  20. 20 Peggy Oct 6th, 2008 at 4:16 pm

    Am I mistaken or didn’t Demi used to be a conservative? Or was that only when she was married to Bruce? How disappointed I was when I read this.

  21. 21 Patrick of Atlantis Oct 20th, 2008 at 11:01 pm

    Does Obama have any supporters who aren’t clowns?
