Making a pitch - 2

To be frank, I spent most of the latest "Yes We Can" moralebooster trying to work out who the celebs actually were. I think I recognized about four of them. Ian Leslie just loathed it:

I suppose that some of the preening fools involved in that video concluded that they'd "made a difference", and now they've got an election under their belt they've decided to imbue the country with the spirit of service, when in fact the best service they could possibly perform is to stand on the steps of the Lincoln memorial and allow a grateful public to pelt them with rotten fruit and breast implants...You see, I'm not being cynical. Quite the opposite. I admire the spirit of collective endeavour and public service. But this video does violence to that noble idea, by confusing public service with the trivial and the personal.
