The Streisand Effect
From some website I’ve never heard of that was linked on the Huffington Post:
CHICAGO–As the announcement of Oprah Winfrey stumping for White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) continues to dominate political chatter, the campaign of chief rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) rolled out Tuesday the endorsement of megastar Barbra Streisand.
Streisand is being used to reclaim the political news cycle—there’s been a lot of pondering going on in print and cable over the value of celebrity endorsements in general and Winfrey in particular.
Enlisting Barbra Streisand to combat Oprah … that’s like using a cat o’ nine tails against a Howitzer. Hilary has the “totally culturally irrelevant” vote locked up, at least. If 60 year-old gay men were the only people who voted, Obama wouldn’t stand a chance.
