Affleck set for nomination
Satire
The worlds of celebrity and politics have collided yet again as actor Ben Affleck appears ready to accept the Democratic Nomination for President this evening. Unbeknownst to Mr. Affleck, however, the nomination will go to another Massachusetts native son: John Kerry.
It is all part of a new Reality TV series set up by producer Rob Barrett called "Presidential Afflecktion." According to Barrett, camera crews have been following Affleck around as he makes all the stops around town during the DNC. The idea is to surprise Affleck at the end as though he were a target of "Punk'd."
"This has really provided us with a great opportunity," said Barrett. "The Democratic Party is clearly Affleck's rebound from Jennifer [Lopez], and he just wants the party to love him back."
Expect the show to begin airing during November sweeps. |
