‘Snatch It Up’ With Jessica Alba
'Declare Yourself' offers a cheeky new faux infomercial

Yesterday we saw the two campaign ads that Jessica Alba features in for the nonprofit organization Declare Yourself (which aims to get young people registered to vote), one of which showed Jessica wearing a Hannibal Lecter-like muzzle mask which was meant to illustrate the notion that “only you can silence yourself” by not registering to vote. Today we get to check out a short promo vid put out by Declare Yourself that carries on the “muzzle” theme and features not only Jessica but Heroes star Hayden Panettiere and 90210 star Tristan Wilds:


This vid is cheeky and far less threatening than the controversial poster artwork, I think. A few Pink readers commented that they were very turned off by the images in the Declare Yourself poster artwork … I’m curious to hear what folks think about this tongue-in-cheek vid.

    Probably the best acting I’ve ever seen Alba do.

    Alba is annoying but I like Hayden. She seems very interested in the world around her at such a young age I do hope she doesn’t get washed up like Alba.

    The Xtina Aguilera sewn-up mouth ads are a direct reference to a David Wojnarowicz “silence=death” AIDS awareness piece from the 80s.

    Yuck to both of them. But it is sorta funny seeing Jessica looking like she really believes she’s making a change doing these retarded ads.
