Happy Hour Vid: Funny or Die Enlists Heidi Montag for Financial Reform

Jake Simpson Mar 9, 2010
Funnyordie.com has already enlisted fake former presidents to champion financial reform. The satirical Web site's latest piece of skit-advocacy on subject is a little less sublime.

Heidi Montag makes a self-mocking plea for insurance reform on behalf of reality TV stars, explaining "if you're a reality TV star, chances are good that you'll one day have plastic surgery." Calling on Congress to stop insurance companies and bank from "being such sleazy jerks," Montag makes a real-world case for reform as only she can.

Being in debt for elective surgery is back enough, but when I think about the thousands of Americans whose only method of paying for food is their credit cards, it's enough to make me cry without moving my new face.
