The cast of the Greatest Show of Our Time has always wanted young people
to get out and vote. But now the show's real-life couple, Penn Badgley
and Blake Lively, have taken it to the next level — they've teamed
up with MoveOn.org to get kids to get their parents to vote. For Obama.
"Mom, Dad? I found this in your room today," Penn (a.k.a. Dan) says, brandishing
a "Drill, Baby, Drill" trucker's hat. The ad is actually kind of funny,
stealing the patronizing language parents use to talk to their kids about
drugs and alcohol. "And if you're ever out somewhere and you're considering
voting for John McCain, just call me!" Blake (a.k.a. Serena) says. "I'll
pick you up." Aw! This, plus her recent hilarious cameo on Saturday Night
Live, are really making us like Blake Lively. What's happened to us?!?
(Though, it should be noted, the high-school Serena van der Woodsen would
never vote Democrat. With a mom like Lily and a stepdad like Bart Bass,
she'd be voting with her tax bracket like a militia member for Bob Barr.)
