2010 Census PSA Ad Starring Ed Begley (Christopher Guest Production)

If you watched the Golden Globes last night, you saw the weird census PSA made by Christopher Guest and his friends. Ed Begley, Jr. stars as Payton Schlewitt, an obnoxious, clueless visionary of a director. I like the creativity but question whether this is a good way to spend part of the $340 million publicity campaign for the census. Seriously, don't you think the people who enjoy Waiting for Guffman and Best In Show are the people most likely to meticulously and religiously fill out census forms?

Anyways, the Schlewitt campaign is supposed to comprise of five parts over the coming months. Here is Part One. Again, Stiffler's mom steals the show.
