Can Katy Perry stop Donald Trump?

Recall that eight years ago a number of actors brought out a video of unspeakable dreadfulness called I Pledge, calling on Americans to support Barack Obama’s election. Now the entertainment industry, always shy about supporting a fashionable cause, is back on the stump, this time rallying against Donald Trump.

During a new voting campaign – featuring Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore and Robert Downey Jr – the actor Mark Ruffalo promises to go naked in his next film. Ruffalo is a fairly good example of West’s Law (C), that the more talented an actor, the more idiotically left-wing the political views.

Now the singer Katy Perry has gone one better than Ruffalo, getting her clothes off ‘in an attempt to encourage people to head to the polls’. The Standard reports:

‘Perry, 31, ripped off her stars and stripes pyjamas as she made her way to a polling station in a Funny or Die and Rock the Vote skit.
