Hungry Man TV Launches "Choose or Lose" Videos to Encourage Young People to Vote

Posted on: Friday, 31 October 2008, 15:00 CDT

Hungry Man TV (www.hungrymantv.com) releases two original comedic spots for "Choose or Lose" on their web channel.

The spots, which examine the fact that old people outvote young people 2 to 1, boldly make their point in a shockingly funny way. You'll never look at democracy (or your grandparents) in the same way again.

Endorsed by Choose or Lose as a way to get individuals who are on the fence about voting out to the polls on Tuesday, the videos can be viewed on hungrymantv.com in addition to participating video sites including YouTube, MySpace, Dailymotion, Metacafe, and Veoh.

About Hungry Man TV

Just over a year old, HMTV is an innovative web channel launched by Hungry Man Entertainment, a division of the award-winning commercial production company. The site has sold one of its web series, "Undercover Cheerleaders," to a major cable network, won Creativity, Davey and W3 Awards for Best Entertainment and two of its series Phistophicles and Mouthpieces, received Official Honoree Awards for Best Writing at the 2008 Webby Awards. The channel has become equally popular with fans, with Phistophicles "Book Two" gaining over 400,000 views on YouTube in one weekend alone.

About Choose or Lose

In 1992, MTV started a pro-democracy campaign called Choose or Lose, to encourage up to 20 million people to register to vote. In recent years, other politically diverse programs on MTV have included True Life, which documents people's lives and problems, and MTV News specials, which center on very current events in both the music industry and the world. MTV worked with P. Diddy's "Vote or Die" campaign, designed to encourage young people to vote and additionally, aired a documentary covering a trip by the musical group Sum 41 to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, documenting the conflict there.
