Celeb Filled Ads Urge People To Vote To Fight Aids
right The 30-second spot is narrated by Matt Damon as the camera pans down a line of celebrities and regular Americans waiting against a spare white wall to vote, not focusing on any one person and treating everyone in the shot the same.
According to the Associated Press, the ad features former Clinton spokesman Mike McCurry chatting up former Bush financial strategist Jack Oliver, both whom have made fighting poverty a special cause. Both the Republican National Committee and the Democratic national Committee featured the ad on their Web sites this week.
Also appearing in the ad are evangelical Christian pastor Rick Warren, author of the best-selling "The Purpose Driven Life," and Bishop Charles E. Blake, pastor of 24,000-member West Angeles Church of God in Christ.
Clooney appears next to his father, Nick Clooney, a Democrat who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in Kentucky in 2004.
The ad is appearing through Election Day Nov. 7 on MTV Network channels as well as Comedy Central and News Corp.'s broadcast and cable channels.
