There are stranger ways to encourage people to vote but this one from Declare Yourself featuring an undressed, taped up Jessica Alba — which is somehow supposed to suggest only you can silence yourself (i.e. not vote) — is up there on the strange list.
So are we supposed to be encourage to…rip the tape off Jessica so we can ogle her naked body? That might actually distract one from the necessary concentration required to make in informed decision when in the ballot booth.
Like clockwork, cause groups are outraged…OUTRAGED over the ad.
Despite the outrage, Jessica, commenting on the campaign, makes a solid point, saying, “We sign up for MySpace pages and Facebook pages, and download music off the internet. The least people can do is register to vote online, actually making a difference in their world, not just making their lives a little bit cooler.”
Well said.
