Don't trust anyone over 30

TV comedy creative genius Norman Lear is targeting his political efforts at the youngest of eligible voters, aiming to get every 18 year old possible to register to vote by the deadline for the 2008 presidential election.

Lear, founder of People for the American Way, no doubt would be pleased if the majority of those first-timers cast their ballots for the Democratic nominee, but his new online public service campaign is a non-partisan goose in the backsides of complacent teens to get involved and take a stand, whatever that may be.

Toward that end, he's enlisted Ben Garrant and Thomas Lennon of "Reno 911!" to appear in a series of Declare Yourself spots as, together, The Man: A pair of slick, suburbanite white guys whose recurring theme is "Thank you for not voting. " Check out the series of four spots at www.declareyourself.com.
