There's this big movie star: His name is Will Ferrell.  And whenever this Will Ferrell character appears in web videos people go nuts!

They're like, "OMG, I usually pay like $12 to see this guy be funny on a big screen but now I can see him be funny on my computer for free so I have to watch this new video like a million times until my eyes fall out!"

Remember that "The Landlord" video?  People were stampeding over the corpses of their dead children to watch that movie for the third time.

Which helps explains why the above video, "Protect Insurance Companies PSA" featuring Will Ferrell, quickly surged past the million views mark on Funny or Die within a day of being added to the site.

But another reason it's been so popular is that is satirizes for a worthy cause: Helping people get health insurance who otherwise can't afford it.

Because only people who are alive will have the same opportunities the rest of us enjoy: The opportunity to watch Will Ferrell web video's another a million times.

But seriously, people need health insurance.  Call the government and complain ASAP.
