Hysterical Register to Vote Commercial w/Ben Affleck
I normally ff'ed through commercials with my TiVo but I'm home today watching last night's rerun of the Daily Show. The commercial is simple but really caught my attention.

White backdrop. Full-sized woman in a blue smock sitting on a chair with a grumpy look on her face. Ben Affleck is in a red bathrobe on a chair working on the full-sized woman's foot somehow. He does this for a few seconds and then looks up and says, "You know in the time it takes me to pumice out the heel callouses of this mani-pedi specialist, you could be online finding out how to register to vote - like a real American."

Hahahaha... declareyourself.com -

Then it wraps up with a closeup of him saying, "Freedom, that's the great thing about being an American... right Ooda? (that's what it sounds like).

She looks disdainfully at him and says in an accent, "Harder..."

Back to Ben: "Tough year..."

Love this commercial. :)

2. Ahhh
That would explain the tone, and the inclusion of Ben Affleck (though he's generally regarded as one of the hottest Democrats that I can personally think of, love the guy!)...

Kevin Smith rules.

4. Ben Affleck is a talentless hack
Good Democrat, but the man makes my skin crawl. I literally cannot finish a movie with him in it.

0

if you did it right, tivo will go: bing bing bing!

now the skip to tick button (opposite instant replay, above the 3) will skip ahead 30 seconds at a time
