OK, Will.I.Am, We Get It: You Like Barack Obama


One crappy video for your candidate of choice: Understandable. You’re enthusiastic, and for at least the moment, you can round up a few celebrities to talk over a eighth-rate beat. Who wouldn’t do the same in your shoes? But a second video? Now you’ve gone too far, pal.

While I had been wondering who the white guy from the movie Barbershop is voting for, is this sort of campaigning actually helping? I sort of lazily climbed on the Obama bandwagon after my Edwards dreams were crushed, but the weird cult of personality that’s surrounding the guy is really starting to creep me out–and having the guy responsible for Fergie in his corner isn’t helping.

will.i.am, I’ve seen your future, and it looks a lot like MC Hammer’s. You two certainly covered similar ground musically:

Hammer was on top once too, but then the weight of hubris brought him back down to size. But hey, he’s back with the all-dance-video site Dance Jam, so there’s at least some light at the end of the tunnel, pal. Either way, head off to obscurity with some class, and spare us another video civics lesson.

    Hey, until Will.I.Am has the balls (heh) to dance around in a Speedo, don’t compare him to Hammer, ya dig?

    I’d don’t know if I’d want the endorsement of someone known for working with inveterate pants-wetters.

    @Imaginary Chris: PS, the only thing the internet needs from Will.I.Am right now is an “I’m Fucking Barack Obama” video.

    My vote for Hillary is looking better and better each day.

    All the Obama fanatics I run into like to point out how the Arcade Fire is for Obama and Barbra Streisand is for Clinton, but can’t we at least say it’s a wash with Tina Fey being for Hillary and Will.I.Am being for Obama? I’ll take one “Bitch is the New Black” SNL clip over a thousand “Yes We Can” videos any day of the week.
