Watch: Katy Perry's bizarre naked plea to coax America to vote this November

Speed News Desk | Updated on: 10 February 2017, 1:46 IST

America is truly the land of the weird. Post the disastrous Presidential Debate (for Donald Trump), the urgency to vote has hit peak crazy in America.

Clearly, all it took was one look at the two candidates, side-by-side. America goes into polls this on 8 November and just in case there are still some Americans who were on the fence about voting, Katy Perry has a message for you.

A message where is she naked while begging the American citizens to go out an vote. No, we don't get it either.

Singer/Taylor Swift muse, Katy Perry sent out this Instagram message yesterday: "Tomorrow, I use my body as click bait to help change the world."

TOMORROW, I USE MY BODY AS CLICK BAIT TO HELP CHANGE THE WORLD 👊🏼

And soon after, this video by Funny or Die starring Perry dropped.

The widespread belief is that the message behind the video is this: vote. Only expressed in a convoluted manner that has somehow convinced Madonna. She too, took to Instagram to coax everyone to vote, while naked.

And oh, there's a last-minute cameo by Joel McHale of Community fame. FYI, he's naked too.

We don't know what's happening anymore. Watch the video below and tell us if you do:
