Howard understands your life is probably tough right now, given the current state of the economy. And you know what he thinks you should do? Drink. Drink your sorrows away. Drink your life away. Just drink. Have some more Jack Daniels and Coke. It isn't going to hurt your. Drink, drink, drink, until you cannot find your way out from under the table. Drink until your head spins and hurts so bad that vomiting up blood seems minor. Drink!
Tell 5 people to drink, and then they'll tell 5 people to drink, and then those 5 people will tell five people, and then 5 more people will tell 5 more people, and 5 more people will start drinking and soon another 5 people will generate another 5 people, and they will have had so much to drink they will be looking at 1 person and seeing 5 people! Hey this could work!
Drink so much that politicians finally start making sense to you.
*Howard does not actually want you to drink. He is a teetotaler in real life, but he doesn't mind mocking Hollywood narcissists who make stupid commercials like this one.

I think the celebs are trying to use what we used to call "reverse psychology" on the public. Is Howard concerned that too many people will miss the point that voter apathy is actually bad and actually stay home anyways? Or is it that celebrities can get carried away at times?
I would be honored to have a drinkin' buddy like Howard any day! He looks like a good listener
Howard is correct. That commercial is nauseatingly condescending.
Also, I never understood the "voter turnout for the sake of voter turnout" thing. If people are too apathetic to vote on their own accord, why should we pester them? Will higher voter turnout achieve a more desireable electoral result? What would be the purpose of encouraging people to vote who are otherwise uninclined? It baffles me.
It just seems like a big drive to get the uninformed out en masse to pull a lever for someone they know nothing about.
I have an "opposite" blog--I CAN Sell This House. Would love for you to swing by and take a look. Best to Howard:-)
