Celebrities love to feel needed, that's why they've chosen the profession they are in: so as many people as possible can care about their stupid kids names or DUIs. But there is perhaps nothing more grating than the sycophantic celeb that decides he or she is "going to make a difference" by lending their voice to a cause that didn't ask for them. Yes, some charities need a spokesperson, some famous face to put on their billboards and websites to garner interest in autism or Darfur.

If you need any more evidence of how condescending and insufferable this ad really is, here's a compilation of celebrities doing their best "get out the vote" faces. God help you if you're actually the type of person that wasn't considering registering to vote until Michelle Trachtenberg from Buffy and Gossip Girl goaded you into it:
