ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
EDITORS NOTE: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
Samuel L. Jackson is angry, especially at apathetic voters. In a new video, sponsored by the Jewish Council for Education and Research, the famously-foul-mouthed actor tells a rhyming bedtime story to try to inspire people to engage in this year's U.S. presidential election. The video, based on the popular adult themed children's story "Go the F--- to Sleep!," which Jackson also narrated, shows Jackson confronting the sleepy members of a family. The profanity-laced rhymes warn the characters what might happen if Governor Mitt Romney wins the election and encourages everyone to get out and vote for President Barack Obama. The roughly four minute long video has also been released with the offending words bleeped out. Funding for the project came from the Jewish Council for Education and Research, a super PAC supporting Obama. The group has made other humor-based videos, including a video last week on Voter ID laws that featured a brash performance by comedian Sarah Silverman.
