Numerous American celebrities have been getting pretty political these days. No longer are they hitting the red carpet only to dish on their designer clothing or relationship of the month; they are talking politics.
So moveon.org, a website for an organization that aims to get the average American voter involved in politics, launched an ad contest and invited celebrities to be the judge. The contest is called Obama in 30 Seconds. The objective of the contest was to create a non-traditional ad that can engage or enlighten viewers. And so who exactly are these judges? Well, they are comprised of 24 celebrities from Matt Damon to John Legend to Oliver Stone to Moby and the list goes on from there.
I think having celebrities encourage the public to voice their political opinions is great. Most Americans do not have outlet to let their voices be heard and this contest definitely allots them one. I am not too crazy about the overall first place winner. But, I like the ad with that won the category for the most positive message.
Also, I should mention that a contest does not exist entitled McCain in 30 seconds....hmmm
