No doubt this year, social media will have a very relevant effect on the outcome of the election. (Most obvious comment ever made). However its becoming more clear just how large and diverse that impact is. I am not just talking political blogs, and Obama or Mccain badges here or there. For instance, tailgaters are now even blogging about how to get politically active to fight against lame tailgating policies at games. However here are two really hot videos in terms of influence and reach floating around. First, we have a really comical video with pretty much everyone in Hollywood telling you to register to vote. Its kind of long, but its continuously funny enough to make you keep watching and hopefully gets some people to register and or vote. My favorites by far are Jonah Hill (please stop comparing me to him) and surprisingly Sarah Silverman who I usually find hit or miss. NOT WORK SAFE……Swearing and just pure hilarity at some points
How effective is this video? We’ll never really know, but the Google Maps link will help and the number of views on Youtube is approaching around 3 million and its only been up less then a week. Solid interest, but a bunch of Hollywood A lister’s playing Scrabble would probably get some traffic too.I liked the ending with Hoffman and the pretty women that I should bet setup with for a date. Hoffman, hook me up. Next up the real star of the election, Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey’s ridiculously spot on repeat performance of Sarah Palin is amazingly funny for anyone who enjoys politics. Biden gets a lit grief too, but as you can see its Palin mania that is pumping up SNL’s ratings. 4 years ago, something like this wouldn’t have made it onto blogs and such. It would be buried at NBC.com just like Lazy Sunday painfully was. But thanks to Hulu…you can rock out to it here on benkoo.com.
And while I have you, if you haven’t seen Lazy Sunday then why not cross that off the Bucket list too.
