Celebrities Are Just Like Us - They Wait In Line Voting Too!
Filed under: Pharrell > Politik
Today's the big day!
But some of us got out there early and waited in line during the weekend.
One Perezcious reader did just that in Miami on Sunday, and was joined by rapper Pharrell, who waited in line for 5 hours to make his voice heard - just like the rest of us!
Don't let long waits discourage you from voting. Vote. Vote. Vote.
Our spywitness says that the N*E*R*D singer was accompanied by his bodyguard, who assisted with the wait by going out and buying Pharrell some Burger King.
Okay, not all of us are taking a bodyguard to accompany us while we vote!
But, hey, voting can sure work up your appetite!
Ddefinitely don't be discouraged by long lines at the polls today. Your vote matters!
It's just like waiting in line to get into the coolest club - the "I voted" club!
If Pharrell can do it, so can you.
THE "I VOTED CLUB" LAAAAAAAAME!!
OMGEE!! I WAS FIRST!! YAY!!!
Yup! I voted nice and early! Obama '08!
oh gee! they are just like us? WOW. good to know.
you fucktard
I wonder who he voted for?
I bet he went to vote for McCain/Palin 08'!!! He looks like a smart fella!!
mmm i love pharrell- and voting- we'd be the prefect match!
good for him
waiting in line is a small price to pay for America's future
THERE WAS NO LINE!
.
GO OBAMA!
No shit Sherlock! You think they all absentee voted?
I was at the polls at 6:10am & out by 6:35am. Holla!
BAROCK DA' VOTE BITCHES!
I was in and out in 20 minutes this morning! Go Vote! No free doughnuts or coffee for me though
Re: sweetpiece – YES GO OBAMA!!!!!
To all you Americans out there: good luck voting…and may the best man win!
I hope they put out the red carpet for those rich fuckers…
god knows they don't go anywhere without a circus welcome….
Re: Vince will Shamwow your ass –
me neither…all I got was a sticker…
Wow, celebutards have to wait in line just like us? Wow….those poor celebutards.
Will the Republican maffia manipulate the election AGAIN?
In Germany s renowned weekly news magazine "SPIEGEL" I just read online (in German) that "…….There has been "vote switching" already again this time in several early opened "early-voting" election offices. Voters had pushed "Obama" at the touch screens, however, the voting unit registered and marked a vote for McCain, West Virginia reported at the end of October. There have been similar reports from Colorado, Tennessee, and Texas as well…."
Shoot, I waited in line too. This is why so many people don't vote. You have to wait in line, and then Bush is re-elected, and then you get chosen for grand jury duty.
So who wants to guess when & where the first Riot will be? Riot if he wins, riot if he loses.
I haven't seen this many black lines since I read the newspaper this morning!!!
Gee, i wonder who that rapper is voting for ?
LOL.
grrrr!
its kind of annoying that the lower income class is excited and expecting a free handout from hard working people.
so dumb. they're expecting something they wont get.
Re: Tell me how my Ass tastes! – yep. it will happen. they are fucking animals.
ANIMALS I SAY!!
THATS RIGHT BITCHES! VOTE!
he waited 5 hours? i waited 5 minutes!
OBAMA '08!!!!!!!
No line at my mailbox a week ago.
Re: Tell me how my Ass tastes! – Stupid is as stupid does. Let them kill one another, suvival of the fittest.
Re: loismustdie – lol that was harsh!!
Come on America!!
Today is your day!!
OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!
I went to vote but the line was so long I am not voting.
Hmmm I will take a wild guess and say he voted for Obama…..
Obama is just the lesser of two evils (cause I think thy are BOTH "right-wing" conservative politicians!) however almost everyone I know here in Germany hopes that he ll win and that the election will not be manipulated as it was last time!
Even though all German papers wrote that for Germany Obama could be worse than Bush cause Obama is thought to demand MORE German military participation in the US wars in Iraq and elsewhere in future than even Bush did.
AND it will not be easy and maybe not even possible for Obama to get the USA out of that economic, military and moral MESS that the Bush Administration has lead you into internationally during their 8-year government! At least, we here hope he wont LIE and won t attack other countries for oil and money like Bush did! (Do not forget Halliburton, Enron, Abu Graib a.s.o.!)
Here's some numbers you find in the MSM. These are McCain's internal poll figures which are quite different from most polls you see on the TEE-VEE on on the internets. The voting is surprisingly weak today - Where's the youth vote we heard so much about?? Hmmmmm.

McCain/Palin
ONE THING I'VE LEARNED SINCE THE ELECTION, PEREZ IS THAT YOU ARE A HATER AND SAY UGLY THINGS ABOUT KIDS OR ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN. I THOUGHT DEMOCRATS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A TOLERANT GROUP. THAT IS WHY THIS INDEPENDENT VOTER VOTED MCCAIN. KARMA IS GOING TO COME AND BITE YOU IN THE ASS, PEREZ.
Re: John Mccain will save America –
preach it secksay!
GASP! a celebrity waiting in line with all the pee ons!!! AMAZING! lol when will he have a melt down and embarass himself:P
Re: John Mccain will save America – That rapper's got more money than you. he needs no handout. and u ignorantly imply that low income people don't work hard. That's a joke. I make under 42,000 a year while getting my master's degree and I work my butt off for every penny. I've never asked anyone,(government included) for a dime. U can't keep looking at things as black or white. Everyone is different as are their situations. Not everyone is on welfare and just so u know, in the US the majority race currently on welfare is white. I hope u remain fortunate enough to never need anyone's help. Even hardworking people lose their jobs and homes and need assistance. U sound very selfish and cold-hearted. So sad.
OBAMA 08! (winning is the best revenge)
Re: Tell me how my Ass tastes! – ….tomorrow….somewhere in the south…or i'm hoping it's not here in chicago.
Perez never talks about Obama being against gay marriage.
No line.
OBAMA 08!
OBAMA 08!
OBAMA 08!
Re: Duckie – don't drag west virginia into your republican conspiracy rant you douche bag! I had no problems voting today in West Virginia, other than a democrat male ranting the signature on his info was not his…when he signed his signature to show the officials it was totally his…LOSERSSS! and i do mean EXACT! (he was right next to me…pretty lame) West Virginia called the race last time:) we are ready to serve if you guys cant make up your minds again hahahaha! Not many people want Obama to win since he said he is shutting down coal…maybe the welfare people are voting for him other than that…its McCain
West Virginia for McCain and Palin 08!
Re: PIGezHIVton – ???……let me guess…njpaul has finally gone off the deep-end?…..nice avie for a fundamentalist………hypotcrite
Re: Duckie – If you have a prob with your ballot you tell an official and work it out..Its electronic and its printed and you have a chance to review everything before it is finalized. and you can also track your ballot. i bet alot of people are pretending they pressed something else for drama or an oppertunity to sue. Thats the American way now.. you lose its always someone elses fault and it was not fair…

Re: mollymouse –
Maybe they do make printouts for the voters to see that their vote was counted properly this time, however, last election was definitely botched!
I think with a Democrat Administration you ll maybe can better solve some of your huge internal(!) problems (which Bush used "wars" to DISTRACT people from his internal messes!) such as a working health insurance and health care for EVERYBODY, more funds for research of new energies (solar, wind, easrth warmth, a.s.o.) so as to diminish your dependency on oil and gas and to reduce the destruction of the earth, and maybe even less LIES and CORRUPTION than with Bush/McCain! And maybe there will be more strengthening of democratic forces in foreign countries instead of giving money and bribe to foreign dictators and maybe more diplomacy than LIES and ATTACKS without any justification!
I wonder if Pharrell even voted before. I too wonder if he even knows who Obama's running mate is.
Re: mollymouse –
I just quoted what DER SPIEGEL wrote! They are well-renowned as a news mag and are known for practically NEVER spreading any FALSE news or lies….
Re: rhoniluv – Great! So now we have to learn Ebonics!!
Re: Duckie – Dumbass, you read a "German" mag! This is AMERICA why don't you try reading AMERICAN papers!!!!!
Re: mollymouse – isn't W. Va the state that mailed tens of thousands of absentee ballots, to our military serving overseas, out late and now they are saying that the military vote may not be counted because it will arrive too late? The race is very close in W. Va and military voters tend to vote Rep…sounds like dirty politics to me.
Why do you have to "register" to be allowed to vote in the USA?
In Germany every inhabitant eligible to vote, gets an invitation letter to vote with the address of the election office (schools in most instances), and you simply go there on election day, show your passport together with this letter and then get the ballot paper, go to one of the several voting booths and after checkmarking it you throw your ballot paper in the voting box.
I think MORE people would go to vote int he USA if you used this method instead of separate and actively having to register first.
And I never ever had to wait more than a few seconds before I got sa free booth to sit down and vote.
it only took me TEN mintues to vote for MCCAIN!
Re: loismustdie – Because he lives in GERMANY?
And he's right about Der Spiegel…They usually arent very wrong in what they report. People here in America seem to think foreign countries opinions dont matter when they do! As a German born American, I voted for what would be best for THIS country and what i thought would be good for my MOTHER country.
I voted for hope.
I voted for change
I voted OBAMA for president.
Re: loismustdie –
Who told you that I do NOT resad American and other international papers, TOO??!
Not EVERYONE has as LIMITED a horizon as some Americans like you obviously do!
Re: richiephx –
RIGHT! That s what I learnt from a former Vietnam Green Beret here in Germany as well… They ll try ANY trick to prevent votes for the Democrasts from overseas soldiers!:-)
Re: Stevie D. –
…but would take you people a LIFETIME to recover from the mess a THIRD Republican term wozuld get the U.S. into!
Re: Nevermore – Doesn't matter where you are in the world, uh duh, I would read AMERICAN news about news in AMERICA.
Re: loismustdie –
Okay, if you PREFER: Here s an "American" online news source which also reports the W.Va. incidents… : www. salon. com
holy shit 5 hours?? thank god we have vote by mail here, there's no way in hell I would wait 5 hours. That's nuts!
Early exit poll results
shock the nation as
PEREZ HILTON pulls ahead of both
McCain and Obama,
due to millions of write in votes.
California shows a %78 percent
lead for the celebrity blogger,
a lead which seems to be increasing.
Major polls are shocked at this
development.
Perez Hilton has not
been reached for comment
at this time.
I don't understand why the rest of the country does not follow suit. I live overseas now, but am originally from Oregon. In Oregon we vote by mail and have high percentage turn out for our state. It's so easy to vote by mail, the ballot comes to your house, you fill it out in your Pj's if you want to, then put it back in the mail. No waiting in line for hours, no having to take time off of work, it's the best!
geeze! 5 hours???? I waited less than 5 minutes! ohhh the joy of on-campus polling centers. and voting at 7:30 in the morning…
Re: Duckie – So you admit you are NOT American you German kraut!!
Re: Duckie – You my non friend are a loser…next please!!
Re: loismustdie –
If you do so, then HOW do you get CORRECT and NEUTRAL FACTS???? I mean, for example, if I want to know or learn the TRUTH about the dangers of some new medicine, I definitely will NOT got o the manufacucturer s website for it but will use a "neutral" unbiased source!!!
And the SPIEGEL meantime has become a really rather CONSERVATIVE mag!
Re: gmengucci – yah i'm in Oregon too, i'm surprised that people are passionate enough to wait so long and take time out of their schedules to do such a thing…I guess I really take that for granted!
Re: loismustdie –
Of course, I m GERMAN! I never said any different here, did I?!
By the way: NO, I do NOT wanna discuss WW II now with you, cause that s where most of you hillbilly Texans or W.Vas still ive! Especially when you cannot find ANY argument on what I said!
Cause then YOU would also have to stqrt diusussing Korea, Vietnam, Nazi collaborations of US citizens during WWII, your extinction of the Red Indians, your 19th Century Civil War, Slavery, Abu Ghraib, Iraq, a.s.o.!
You will NOT succeed in distracting me from the fact that 8 yeasr s of Republican Administration have RUINED your country! Financially, economically, ethically and mentally, too, I guess….
Re: Squirrel – maybe so but Obama is getting the most electoral votes so far…every map you read, he has the entire west coast, with California being HUGE, as well as most of the east coast…Mccain has the midwest and texas, which are only good for a few of the votes. I don't think it's a close race. Obama has this one in the bag.
Re: Fendi Larue –
8 years of Bush CORRUPTION and LIES would even a lame and lazy long-sleeping duck like me get out of bed and wait for hours in line to vote - if I were American!
Re: Duckie – ha that's true..like I said, I take it for granted =)
The rise in share prices on the German DAX and the DOW JONES Industrial are telling me, too, that Obama will WIN!
Re: Duckie – Dude simmer down before you spill your beer all over me!
From an outside/ non-American perspective, I see Obama's popularity as more of a cult of personality thing but his politics are waaayyy too ultra-liberal for my personal taste.As for McCain, I like his pro-life, pro-family,pro-faith stance but I don't agree with the war in Iraq, and I personally like Palin and admire her strong faith and her courage to stand up for morality and for what she believes in.
Re: Duckie – Oh and by the way: I never mentioned WWII to you so take a chill pill with your beer, eat your bratwurst and lay down for a while. Tomorrow is another day!!
Re: Pogue Mahone – Love you!!
he voted for obama, i saw him in concert last week at the U, he endorsed him…i wonder where he voted in miami though?
Re: Nevermore –
Duck, not a drake! 
SHE! Not he!
This is true!!! I am from Miami and went to early vote at this location too! My friend and I were in line with Pharrell and he waited in line JUST like EVERYONE else. He was extremely nice and to himself. He didn't even want to take pictures because he said it was a time to be political. After he voted though, he posed for a picture with my friend and I! If he can do it, everyone can wait just as long. We waited for FIVE HOURS on sunday!!! Get out and VOTE!!!
Obama/Biden '08
@loismustdie: So, I m now doing you a favor and will switch my television on to CNN, an American TV station! Although, I guess, their programme will probably be "just" a "European Edition"….
Since the majority of comments here tend to be negative, I'm going to throw some positivity in the mix: let's all be grateful that we live in this great country where we are all granted the right to vote for our next leader (which I did this morning, hooray!). Obama and McCain are both capable in their own unique ways, and I think they're both good people at heart. Try to be FOR your candidate of choice, not AGAINST the other.
Also, NO ON PROP 8!
Good day.
Re: vee90 – He voted at the Coral Gables Library
Re: loismustdie –
I NEVER drank beer in my entire LIFE! And I m even BAVARIAN by birth!
Re: richiephx – Post 50 — Have YOU ever voted before? Do YOU know who Obama's running mate is? I'm sure that the answer to both questions is "yes"… but why question this man or anyone else? I don't see the point to your comment.
Re: Duckie – My apologies Duck, I too am a she. See, we do have something in common. LOL
Re: Duckie – That's the ticket! LOL
Re: loismustdie –
Bye-bye! Bedtime for me now in Germany….when I wake up tomorrow, Republican USA is HISTORY I hope! 
By the way: How many hours from now will final election RESULTS be available?
AND: No "Bratwurst" for me! I ve been VEGETARIAN, almost VEGAN, for more than 20 years now…I m truly SORRY having to blotch and vandalize some of your prejudices against Germans so much…… *G*
That's a shame Duck, we could have sipped some suds long distance style. Later my friend, it's back to work for this chicka!! Stay calm, okay? LOL
Re: loismustdie –
Hm, yes…bitchiness! *GG*
I went to vote like 2 hours ago and there were only 3 people lol
Re: Duckie – Not sure, will be very late. I'm sure you will find out before me. Nighty night! Same bat time, same bat channel tomorrow. Take care my friend!!
Re: Duckie –
Bitchiness in the meanting of "hen pecking" or so…..do not know whether there s a corresponding American English term for it!
Re: loismustdie –
Stay CALM? Ever heard of any DUCK doing that? *G*
re=3059903]Re: richiephx[/re] if there are dirty dealings going on here i am more than sure you can find the saint like democrats at the root…i was commenting how duckie said wva was being controlled by the republican nazi's which is new to me…no nazi's here..I am of german decent and we got the hell out of Germany in the early 1900s for a chance at a better life and we got it. By the way Germany is an awesome place to visit I do love Germany…just mad to be called a nazi here.
I thought Duckie was a man too. I was confused by her
flatulancehot air.-
Sorry Duckie, I'll try and be more gentlemanly towards you in the future.
Re: mollymouse –
@mollymouse, NO! I never wanted to say that, you got me wrong then!
I meant CONSERVATIVE W.Virgianians…
Sorry, have to leave and no time to read all entries you re refering to! Good night!
Re: Squirrel –
so. i m OFF now!
hm…we ll see! *G* Squirrels FIGHT a lot, don t they? There s a video on Youtube called Squirrel Fight about 2 male squirrels who go nuts about - what else - NUTS! - it s HILARIOUS, especially with the SOUND on! It s been entered on youtube by user "andyse7en"…not allowed to give direct links here, I guess….
Voted early… Wuzzzah!!!
