In this historic Election day, my friend Enrique sent me a video that I found really interesting and wanted to share with you. And soon after I published the post, Martina sent me another version, this time “uncensored” so ypou will also find it below. And for more reader feedback, you may want to see the Spanish post on the winners of my latest contests, with the “acceptance speech sent by Fede Munichor!).
The fact that voting is not mandatory in the US gives place to interesting dinamics. I always wondered what would happen if in our countries voting was optional. I tend to think that, if even Americans have to be called upon to vote, that here the only people that would vote are those who get some dirty money from politicians to do so.
Anyway, in case you are not interested in all these stuff, you will at least enjoy seeing, among others, Scarlett Johanson and Cameron Diaz or Di Caprio and Tom Cruise (according to your preferences).
My favorites…? Borat and Jason Lee. And Jennifer Aniston… but she appears so little!
Now, the uncensored version, courtesy of Martina. The best of this one? No doubt, Sarah Silverman!

AWESOME!!! The best spots i’ve seen in months
Very cool. I do think that people would still vote in Argentina even if it wasn’t mandatory, but that’s a lengthier discussion than this post allows. At any rate, I’m proud to say this was the first time I was eligible to vote in a US election, and I did. The system is quite different from the one down south, with no real “cuarto oscuro”, and no ballot boxes.
Next video I’d like to see is one reminding people that there are more than two parties, but I’m not holding my breath.
