Vote or Die!

So I'm sure all of you seen P.Diddy and 50 Cent donning these ridiculous T-shirts telling us to "Vote or Die". I'm not sure whether that's a threat or a political statement, but the last thing I need is the guy who contributed to the Godzilla Soundtrack telling me I should register to vote. I get that it's trying to raise political awareness among teens and young adults, but political action isn't motivated by fashion (or at least it shouldn't be). And c'mon, if you're taking cues on whether or not to vote from 50 freakin' Cent, you probably shouldn't be casting a ballot because chances are you're someone who's more inclined to follow trends than to educate yourself about the issues. If that's the case, then people should start wearing t-shirts that say "If you vote, I'll kill you" to counteract this seemingly harmless political movement because who needs more ignorance?
