Guys, this is no joke - just American politics. They do stuff like that over there. I promise you this is a real endorsement video that Jack Nicholson has launched in Texas and Ohio. If you are not American, French or Italian, this kind of political campaigning must seem surreal to you. With Sarkozy and Berlusconi both France and Italy have adopted the practice of choosing a president in a similar way to a consumer choosing a brand. I would love to go on bashing the political cultures of Europe's sunny states, but this post is about American politics and Hollywood. So let me show you the Jack Nicholson endorsement video first.
