“talk with your parents about mccain”

A number of actors from the CW’s hit generation-whatever-the-hell-letter-we’re-on-now show “Gossip Girl” have joined the folks at MoveOn to launch a pro-Obama campaign directed at America’s youth, urging them to talk with the adults in their lives about John McCain and why he’s a dangerous, irresponsible, and perhaps deadly choice for President. Fashioned after those ubiquitous “talk with your kids about drugs” ads, the ads will air nationally during “Gossip Girl” and on MTV and Comedy Central in college towns throughout Nevada and North Carolina. Here’s the ad:

I particularly like the part when the guy holds up the McCain/Palin “Drill Baby Drill” hat, looks into the camera with a concerned, disappointed look on his face, and says, “I found this in your room.”

The folks in MoveOn’s political action group have even made a nifty little guide for kids, which suggests ways to broach the subject with parents, and what to do if a mom or dad says something like, “But, isn’t he a one man terror cell?”
