Erection '08 -- Alba Ad Invokes Change in Sex Life

An election ad featuring Jessica Alba wrapped in bondage tape was supposed to turn people on to voting. It ended up just turning a whole lotta people on. Freaky deaky style.

The ad was for "Declare Yourself," and a stylist for the PSA decided their message was best conveyed by muting Jess with bondage tape from JT's Stockroom.

If the ad inspired people to register to vote, we don't know. What we do know: People started showing up at Stockroom's store -- with the Alba ads in hand -- asking for the reusable, sticks-to-itself, I-like-my-sex-with-a-side-of-violence black tape.

The safe word is "economy."

17. Actors need to keep their mouths shut on political issues.

No one wants to be lectured by Ellen DeGeneres, for example, on what propositions to vote for, especially when it serves her own personal interest.

Everyone wants Oprah to get off her soap box and stop controlling the election and pushing people to vote her way. Same for Clooney, Hanks, Damon, etc etc etc

People are fed up and voting the OPPOSITE way that actors are pushing.

19. Barack Obama and Durbin have both accused capitalism for the failure in the real estate market , without any responsiblity of their own failed democrat policies applied during the Clinton years. This policy was to obtain ‘affordable housing’ by any means (giving loans real estate loans to just about anyboby).
The fact that they do not take responsiblity is a Big problem if they get elected. The FINANCIAL CRISIS IS DUE TO THE POLICIES OF Goverment Runned Fanny Mae/ Freddy Mack . When two attempts at Reforms came in 2005 & 2006 they were Both BLOCKED BY The DEMOCRATS on the Congress Banking group , therefore, the Democrats Are Guilty for the Financial Crisis.
Not only are Barack Obama and Durbin Socialists , but they will Blame other groups of people for their own problems and

Finally, someone who's done their homework. You are absolutely right about this. Too bad the average dummy doesn't understand (or doesn't want to) & continues to blame Bush for everything including the latest financial mess. You just pointed out the fact that nothing about liberalism is good for this country & this recent debacle involving Fanny Mae & Freddie Mac is just one very big example. They wanted people to have homes whether they could afford them or not & Obama wants us to have free universal government sponsored health-care & free everything else whether the government can afford it or not.

23. Most Hollywood PSAs are really stupid. People should vote. What that has to do with bondage I have no idea.

24. This is my first time posting on TMZ, and I have to say how ridiculous that people take this picture totally out of context. What the ad is saying for the idiots out there, is that if you want your voice heard, YOU NEED TO VOTE. This is a important election. This election decides if we leave Iraq, or if we stay till whenever we totally wipe out the enemy. I prefer to get out of Iraq as soon as possible. This election is about major change in this country, that is long overdue. This is what the ad is saying. I say KUDOS to Jessica Alba for having the courage to do the ad, and secondly for seeing beyond Hollywood, and making a VERY important statement about Exercising Your Right to Vote

27. Stupid ad . Does Hollywood really think actors matter politically? She looks skanky and ridiculous.

28. I think Enough said it best: JESSICA PLEASE JUST GO AWAY NOW ... and I wish all celebrities would just keep their politics to themselves.

29. romil1 - So you support the republicans... generally meaning that you support the war.. which in no way could the gov. afford... But you are against spending how much money on healthcare? Interesting choices... I personally think life > death.

BTW. Republican deregulations set the stage for these psuedo government (then privatized) companies to operate in.. and sure, the origincal strategy wasn't that great.. but it was a small step in the right direction.
