20/20 report

When we were at Camp Bisco, there were rumors that 20/20 was doing some taping, which led to some interesting and humorous hypothetical situations discussed between friends (and I'm not talking about circumstances under which me and Beth are allowed to be naked together in a dentist chair with mint floss).

Rather they were doing a story on HeadCount, Marc Brownstein and Andy Bernstein's non-profit registering voters at concerts and other things. Unfortunately, the report is ridiculously one-sided and its too bad because I think HeadCount is really trying to do a good thing. The segment is basically trying to prove that young voters are uneducated and therefore, should not vote at all. I bet they wouldn't go into some poor town and try to prove the same thing though.

Anyway, make your own judgement. Below is the segment as well as Andy Bernstein's rebuttal.
