Don’t you love it when a celebrity shows up at your college and goes on and on about how he loves Barack Obama, and how Obama is going to bring change to the country and finally get us over to Mars where we can rape and pillage to our heart’s desire, and finishes it up by telling you to go out and vote, but they don’t care who you vote for? Oh yeah? If that’s true, then why did you just spent two hours shoving Obama down my throat, you disingenuous prick? So that’s what happened with this story, which had Zachary Quinto from Heroes and Dule Hill from Psyche (some show on cable, I guess) going around college campus pretending they don’t care who you vote for, as long as you vote. Riiiiiiiiiight.
More:
Dulé Hill and Zachary Quinto have been jetting across the country to rally support for the candidate who they say is “the only and last true hope.” They made stops at Central Pennsylvania College in East Pennsboro Township, Dickinson College in Carlisle and Shippensburg University.
The Shippensburg event was sponsored by the Obama for President campaign and the Shippensburg College Democrats.
…
Whomever the students choose to vote for, the message Hill and Quinto wanted to get across was to make sure their voices are heard. “I’m less interested in telling you who to vote for than telling you to vote,” Quinto said, reminding students of the March 24 registration deadline.
“Don’t do what we say just because we’re actors, that would be foolish,” Hill said. “Register to vote and then show up at the polls April 22 and cast your vote to let your voice be heard.”
Riiiiiiiiiight. Let my voice be heard — as long as I vote for your guy, right?
And I absolutely love this passage from the article that, in the most matter-of-fact way possible, bitchslaps Zachary Quinto as a dumbass celebrity who doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about:
Seen on the NBC show “Heroes,” Quinto said he supports Obama because he is the only candidate who has not accepted special interest campaign contributions and he is the only candidate who comes from a grassroots background.
While Obama has raised most of his contributions from small donors, he has accepted several larger contributions from unions in recent months.
Hah!
Bloody hell, celebrities should stick to memorizing what other people wrote for them and then repeating it like a zombie to the camera — oh wait, never mind.
