Hi – we know many of you have been reporting on the new Samuel L. 
Jackson political video, “Wake the F*** Up!” and we wanted to let you 
know that the official version is now available as an EMBEDDABLE YOUTUBE 
for use on your site.
NSFW version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDTT1yRNsFE
Bleeped version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-caGkwSRjPU
We **strongly suggest**** that you use this version, as other versions 
floating around YouTube are pirated versions of the unfinished rough 
cut. We are working with YouTube to have these versions pulled as 
violations of the Terms of Service, so those links will likely go dead 
on you shortly.
Thanks so much for your interest and let us know if you have any questions!
Background:
The newest political viral video in the making, which has Samuel L. 
Jackson narrating a script by Adam Mansbach, who wrote “Go the F*** to 
Sleep” last year.
This video – entitled “Wake the F*** Up” ­– has Sam and a concerned (and 
foul-mouthed) little girl trying to convince the girl’s parents, big 
brother, and grandparents to WTFU and get out the vote in 2012.
The not-safe-for-work version can be seen now atwww.wtfu2012.com 
<http://www.wtfu2012.com> !
If you’re curious about the genesis of this project, we can set you up 
for a great interview with Mik Moore, head of the Super-PAC JCER (Jewish 
Council on Education and Research). JCER also brought you Sarah 
Silverman in 2008’s “The Great Schlep” and last week’s “Let My People 
Vote.” (The most popular political video of the week according to the 
Wall Street Journal 
<http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/09/24/sarah-silverman-video-tops-political-charts/?blog_id=24&post_id=36165>).
The author, Adam, and director Boaz Yakim are also available for interviews.
*“Wake the F*** Up!”*

*directed by Boaz Yakim (director of Remember the Titans) and Kitao 
Sakurai. Produced by Jesse Schiller.*
*funded by the Jewish Council on Education and Research Super-PAC, who
