Wha? They're not giving a political opinion. They're telling people that in a representational democracy the only power you have is to vote.

I don't care about their IQ - if anything I'm more concerned that people who don't realise that voting is important are gettign a reminder. But even stupid people's votes count

People died to get the vote. Over here, in America. Women certainly. Blacks certainly. Probably other groups.
I mean good luck with your cynicism and all, but I happen to think it's pretty important and I don't lose any respect for "celebrities" in our celebrity culture NOT trying to push their political views on the populace, but instead telling them somethign as simple as No Vote, No Choice.
