Super Bowl Viral Video Stars Reprise Their Roles for Election '08 and Ron Howard's Call to Action

The General Election is now just two days away and that means we only have to endure the barrage of TV commercials a little while longer. It's been a contentious political season and probably the most important election in generations. In many ways the more things change the more they stay the same and characters we've known from the past return to reprise their roles to help get out the vote.

Craig Rubens of NewTeeVee noted this week, "we’ve come full circle with two more ads from Super Bowls past revamped for online political purposes. Office Linebacker “Terrible” Terry Tate has returned to put the hurt on fools who don’t vote, while the “Wassup” guys have suffered every great malady our nation has gone through over the last eight years."
