про гугл я накосячил. вот в чем оказывается фишка: Film stars including Forest Whitaker, Leonardo DiCaprio and Dustin Hoffman joined forces with Google on Wednesday in a campaign to get US citizens to vote in the coming presidential election.
The celebrities make rapid-fire appearances in a "5 Friends" YouTube video that warns people their rights and futures are at stake and implores them to wield power over the outcome by voting.
In keeping with the video title, the movie stars urge people to send "5 Friends" so it spreads, as one actress comically put it, "rampant like herpes but for a positive."
"If you're not going to vote I don't even know what to say to you anymore," DiCaprio says after the video turns serious. "You know you have to vote."
Celebrities in the sometimes humorous, sometimes foreboding video direct viewers to www.maps.google.com/vote for geographically-tailored information about voting and voter registration.
"There's a lot of buzz about turnout this year, but one in four Americans still aren't registered to vote," Google said on its website, citing US Census data.
"Now is the time -- voter registration deadlines are less than a week away in most states."
