The U.S. Constitution requires a national census every ten years. It’s that time again and the Federal Government is spending our tax dollars on an ad campaign that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Even worse, they ran this ad during the Super Bowl. I understand that running an ad during the Super Bowl is going to reach a large audience; however, shouldn’t the ad convey more information than this?
I love pretty much anything by Christopher Guest, but a mockumentary doesn’t seem like an effective way to promote the census.

I don’t think they did it for promotional purposes. I believe it’s a response to the fact that a lot of people are buying into Michell Bachman’s suggestion of rejecting the census on political grounds.
