Have you seen that creepy "I Pledge" video making the rounds on the Interwebs? It's a four-minute montage of Hollywood Obamatons making goobery resolutions in honor of our new Maximum Leader.
"I pledge to smile more ... to laugh more ... to love more," purr three willowy stars. "I pledge to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid," says another. Jason Bateman offers a more Rabelaisian vow: "For the environment, I pledge to flush only after a deuce, never a single."
Celebrities ... what would we do without them?The "I Pledge" clip is twerpy and moralistic, but also kind of sweet. The queasy-making part comes at the end, when the video's creators, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, pledge "to be a servant to our president and all mankind."

Don't sneer at or underestimate the anger of Blue Collar Guy. We in the news media rarely see him, much less sympathize with him. But he knows what's going on. He knows he's not too big to fail. He knows where he stands in the eyes of power elites – and he's figuring out where he's got to take his stand when the time comes.
Oh, yeah ... he's armed. Gun sales have gone through the roof since the election
Why do I have a feeling Bateman was mocking them? At least, I hope this was mocking..
ROFLMAO!!!!
Bateman’s always struck me as a closet conservative.
No...libs really do think like that.
These idiots are the reason why I like reality shows so much.
Something tells me we’ll be seeing this ‘pledge’ in next season’s SouthPark.
Let’s see, NOW that “the other party” has the White House, they want to see America “be all that it can be”.
Sounds like they didn’t want to do anything FOR America while Bush was President.
And yet they express outrage that Rush Limbaugh would hope that Obama fails to implement his liberal agenda.
Libs “think”?
Will Mr. Hanky be leading it?
...and I pledge to never accept Zero as President!....
This is likely to be one of Obama's next Executive Orders. "Now, off to the camps, and do as you're told! It's for the good of mankind."
Of course, these are wealthy, Hollywood Elites, who don't really expect that THEY will be enslaved. They just want to soften up the common folk, so we'll consider it an honor to "serve".
Here's a sample:
..."On the street, Germans were supposed to use the Hitler greeting instead of "Good morning!" Postmen were meant to bark out a "Heil Hitler!" to customers before handing them their morning mail. Schoolchildren greeted their teachers every morning with "Heil Hitler!" One of the many entertaining illustrations in the book shows a wall painting from a German school depicting the prince greeting Sleeping Beauty not with a kiss, but with a Hitler salute. The gesture had become ubiquitous and inescapable.
But what exactly did it mean? "Heil!" didn't just mean "Hail!"; the word also carried connotations of healing, health, and good wishes. "Heil Hitler!" therefore involved implicitly wishing the Nazi Leader good health, and also invoking Hitler as a kind of Supreme Being who could grant good health to the greeting's recipient. In both cases, Hitler was introduced as an omnipresent third party whenever two Germans came across each other."...
Before you say it, I'll say it for you: Obama is not Hitler. However, the similarities between what happened then and what is happening now with these "pledges" is way to creepy not to note.
If it’s yellow let it mellow
if it’s brown flush it down
P. Diddy: "I'm a turn ma lights off."
And Eva Longoria is "going to plant 500 trees." Like she's actually going to get down on her knees and dig a hole, let alone 500 of them. What she'll do is write a $200 check to some shyster rainforest charity, which will go towards their next big "Save the Rainforest" celebutard party in a 4-star LA trend spot.
“Around our house, we hold our pee and only flush when we do the nasty.”
There it is folks, the true definition of a friend of the planet.
Here in our home, we don’t like the idea of insects tracking, flying, or otherwise spreading contamination.
Remind me not to eat at the home of such people. On second thought, don’t touch me either. In fact, let me know if one of these people is in the same restaurant when I’m there.
Yuck!
We should all have our pledge.
I pledge to buy the biggest, most audacious gas guzzler I can afford.
I pledge to drive, even when I don’t need to.
I pledge to leave my lights on when I leave a room.
I pledge to flush twice, maybe three times, even if I am just dropping a Kleenex in from blowing my nose.
I pledge to chop down another half acre of trees but instead of extending my lawn, I am going to put in gravel.
I pledge to get my oil changed every two months instead of every three months.
I pledge to not take public transportation with the exception of airlines.
I pledge to leave my thermostat up higher during the winter and lower during the summer.
