No offense to actress-turned-activist Alicia Silverstone, everyone's favorite dim-witted, shopaholic Beverly Hills teen queen from the 90's movie classic "Clueless," but was it really necessary for MiamiHerald.com to post a 37-second video detailing why the 32-year-old vegan likes to vote early? I think not.
The article, "Alica Silverstone, Matt Damon Rock the Vote," which captures Silverstone's celebrity essence quite nicely and why she favors early voting, would have been effective on its own. So, maybe the blink-of-an-eye video re-cap of her voting preferences was a bit over-kill. But then again, she is a movie star and the mere mention of her name can atract audiences to any website. I would have liked instead to have heard who she voted for and why...
Check out this great video clip from You Tube "Barack Obama rally in Tampa with Alicia Silverstone," which details how Barack Obama restored Silverstone's faith in politics. Now, this is the type of video I would have liked to have seen in the Herald's Mutimedia package.
