The requisite 'celebrities tell you to vote' PSA comes out

"Rock the Vote" and "Vote or Die" are so yesterday. This year, the good people of Hollywood are using some good old reverse psychology in a new public service ad called "Don't Vote."

Jonah Hill basically dominates the screen time because he's the funniest, but Leonardo DiCaprio's surprisingly funny, and Courtney Cox gets in a good line. Also appearing, off the top of my head: Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston, Dustin Hoffman, Djimon Hounsou, Ethan Suplee, Ellen DeGeneres, Laura Linney, Kevin Connolly, Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman, Forest Whitaker, and a lot of other famous people that I'm forgetting.

The funniest part, though? Near the end of the ad, a website shows up at the bottom of the screen, which you can go to in order to register to vote. But MySpace, in all its infinite wisdom, has positioned their logo watermark right on top of it, so you can't see it. So for the record, the website they're telling you to go to is MySpace.com/Impact. (Or just do even the briefest of Google searches to figure out how to register in your state.) ❏
