that's really funny.

I'm a little divided on the celebrity participation. On one hand, I think it's a good thing that they're trying to do their part to campaign for democracy. But on the other hand, I want to call out some bullshit flags... Half those celebs posing in those Vote or Die shirts probably aren't informed or don't care about the issues. They just need some hot, "popular" artist who has a good body and slab that on a print ad because sex sells. Politics has definitely come to the point where candidates are a packaged image being voted on as if they were two products to choose from, and not just PEOPLE with different views on issues. The packaged celebrity ads mirror this.

Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio who just talk openly about the issues and their opinions is a good thing for our country, IMO. People like Oprah who do an entire show on empowering women to vote, etc. Those are the celebs I would admire.
