Call in conservative??

The fine folks behind “An American Carol” have come up with a curious new ad campaign.

It’s called “call in conservative” to work on Inauguration Day (Tuesday Jan. 20). By calling in “sick” to work, you’re protesting the new liberal administration.

Here’s the pitch direct from the e-blast:

On Inauguration Day, you can join the millions of God-fearing, gun-toting, America-loving conservatives as they “Call in Conservative.”

And what better movie to watch together, than AMERICAN CAROL, the newest political comedy out on DVD!

But unless there’s a conspiracy floating about I’m not aware of, President-elect Barack Obama won fair and square last November. So I’ll be showing up to work (the home office, to be precise) as scheduled Tuesday.

The campaign sounds about as effective as the film itself, a scattershot comedy which deserves more praise for bucking the ideological tide than making us laugh.
