Here's a video made during the #AskHerMore campaign. The star of Nashville, Connie Britton starts of as though she's going to talk about her hair-care secrets. However, instead of promoting a haircare product like we're use to seeing, the shampoo container simply says "Feminism". It's a comedic take on the problem facing women in the media.

Also, Kristen Stewart and Jessie Eisenberg made a spoof of an interview for Funny or Die. In the video, the two stars are interviewing each other, but the interview cards have been switched. Eisenberg gets the sexist questions, and Stewart gets the thought provoking/fun questions.

This was a pleasure to watch, such clever and impactful ways to get a point across. I'm not a huge follower of any of the mentioned celebrities, but after seeing this I'll definitely be more curious in clicking an article mentioning their names. That's the downside of these articles we brush across, there could be one that's so important and such a game changer, but because we don't follow or really know about the celebrity involved, we are deprived of the article's message and value. I will definitely keep this in mind next time I consider skipping something about a celebrity I don't typically follow.
