On a recent Today show, Matt Lauer asked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. how his father was doing. Well, I guess everyone goofs. Maybe Lauer will be a little more understanding when a politician puts their foot in their mouths.

Don't Vote

A bunch of Hollywood A-listers have gotten together -- because that's what they do -- they get together and tell everyone what to do. And they've come up with the Don't Vote video. Basically, it's reverse psychology. They are trying to say if you don't vote you're an idiot. They're saying it. I'm not. I would never say such a thing. Well, maybe, behind your back.

I didn't post the video because they used three S-words and at least one f-word. Was that necessary? Oh, yeah they are trying to be cool and attract young people.

It's also about four minutes too long. Register to vote. That's short and sweet.

Go to www.declareyourself.com to watch the video and get voting info.

About this blog

Herald-Journal Entertainment Editor Jose Franco loves TV and watching DVDs on TV. As a kid, he watched as much TV as he could on his parents' black-and-white set with the bunny-rabbit antenna. On clear days, the family could watch ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS. He loved watching everything from "Good Times" and "Happy Days" to "The Waltons" and "Three's Company," from "Land of the Lost" to Porky Pig cartoons. Saturdays were spent watching "American Bandstand," "Soul Train" and a Saturday afternoon movie like "Creature from the Black Lagoon." He didn't get cable and color TV until college in the 1980s and was surprised to hear all the colorful words you could say on television. It was the birth of MTV and music videos. Over the years, his taste in television shows has expanded and become more refined, but he does admit to enjoying an occasional "Who's the Boss?" marathon. His favorite shows, at the moment, include "The Sopranos," "Weeds," "Nip/Tuck," "Big Brother," "Friday Night Lights," "Prison Break," "Lost," "Ugly Betty" and "Heroes." His Netflix list is filled with TV shows he's yet to watch such as "The Wire" and "House." Not enough hours in the day, he says. He loves TV so much that he even mourned when "Rome" and "Gilmore Girls" went off the air. And he thinks there's nothing better than sharing his thoughts on a favorite TV show around the watercooler at work.
