Blah blah, another ghetto kid from a broken home, why not just abort it, OH WAIT JUST A GODDAMNED MINUTE YOU MEAN IT’S BARACK OBAMA?
So, here we have the Curious Paradox of an anti-abortion commercial that makes liberals want to stop abortion and conservatives want to start actually performing abortions, on passers-by. Why won’t the Super Bowl go back in time and play this commercial, and also the one with the sexy slutz having vaginal intercourse with broccoli, for freedom? What does the Super Bowl even stand for, anymore? [YouTube]
Oooo, I can’t wait until they make a similar one for Charles Manson!
Imagine the same ad with WALNUTS! as the outcome. So you see, every story has two sides….
A woman having vaginal intercourse with broccoli?
Isn’t that how George Bush was conceived?
I use the same reasoning when I consider giving to some charity. “Look at Barack Obama, he was raised by a single mom and he did just fine. I think I’ll just give my money to a more worthy endeavor.”
Osama Bin Ladin’s mother chose life.
But I thought he was a Muslin foreign-born terrorist who will destroy America, in which case, abortion would have saved the nation.
Being sentenced to a lifetime of cheap Philip Glass knockoff music pretty much argues for abortion in my book.
If Wonkabout was a Republican website, Lord Cheney would’ve put this post under the Food section.
They could not clear the music rights with the diamond people.
Damn. That’s a good commercial. Who knew the Catholics had it in them?
40 years from now a similar commercial will be aired, only about Bristol Palin’s baby.
that was fucked up
That’s it! The last time I checked, I was male, but I’m still gonna get 15 embryos implanted so I can be pro-life.
FMA: Maybe that’s the real reason Bush Sr. doesn’t like broccoli.
So not only was there ultrasound back in 1961, there was ultrasound in Kenya back in 1961?? That’s going to upset all the history books. Not to mention wreaking havoc with Physionic’s and Acuson’s patent claims.
There are so many holes and contradictions in the reasoning behind this ad that I dont know where to begin, so I won’t begin at all. I’m just going to drink this in. And continue to read comments about how Bush Sr. was cuckolded by a spear of anti-oxident rich, delicious broccoli.
Are teh Caholics trying to say taht Barry was born of a natural birth? I thought he was brought down from the heavenz on a Unicorn farting rainbows out its ass.
Serolf Divad: Did she really have a choice???
I think my plan for the weekend is to go get knocked up so I can give birth to the future president of the universe.
If God intended for Barack Obama to grow up and become the first African-American President, then how could it have been possible for his mother to abort him? Wouldn’t that mean that God wasn’t quite so omnipotent and/or omniscient if if couldn’t see that one coming?
If it’s God’s will when people die randomly in a terrorist act, or get shot by a mugger, isn’t it automatically God’s will when you abort your fetus? Because if Barack Obama had never been born, how could we miss him?
“This child will be the first African American president because when catholic bishops tell you to vote for McCain/Palin, you can be damn sure that Jesus wants you to vote for the other guy…”
The Cold Sea: You’re welcome.
The solution is right before our eyes: all teenage mothers who decide to keep their babies need to furnish:
a) notarized statements from two (2) parents promising unconditional support to the future grandchild
b) personal statement of goals and ambitions detailing their commitment to academic excellence, intellectual curiosity and achievement
c) note from the doctor affirming that the fetus seems to be in rude health
d) SAT or ACT scores demonstrating the mother’s heightened intellectual capacity.
Otherwise, spread ‘em and get ready for the scoop.
Don’t be fooled America! They only want to ensure there will be a sustainable supply of CHILDREN TO FUCK!!!
I liked when Superbowl commercials wanted me to feel hungry, instead of existentially puny in the face of it all.
These are the same assshats who ran full page ads int eh local papers for weeks telling all the God botherers to vote Republican or face prison camps and forced abortions. Suck it, Catholics. Also.
I’m confused. Don’t anti-abortionists wish Obama were dead?
But I thought there was a special abortion exception from conservatives when a white woman was knocked-up by a black man?
StrangelyBrown: Now, I come from Catholics, so I saw this particular ad coming a mile away. But you, my friend, are asking the Catholics to apply a consistent sense of logic to their faith, thereby NOT allowing the Lord to Work in Mysterious Ways.
That is so unfair of you.
(On the other hand, this lack of a logic+faith combo allowed a buttload of my Catholic friends to vote for the Muslin baby killing terrist, when there was a perfectly good *True American Hero* standing there saying right out loud that he would protect the pwecious, pwecious fetuses.)
Figures that conservatives would break out all of their good propaganda and high production value ads after the election. This was so much more effective than Sarah Palin at getting me to consider breeding.
Just walk into any public school in the country and you’ll see lots of little future presidents. They’re the ones who who arrive late and unfed smelling like cigarette smoke every morning and they’re the ones disrupt class all day because they can’t focus for more than 10 seconds. Maybe they should be Catholics.
Every foetus you abort could be president of the United States! As could every hypothetical child you never even conceived! If you aren’t producing the highest possible number of offspring all the time you are cheating the world of potential great leaders! Are you conceiving a child while you read this? ARE YOU!?
FMA: No, that would be having sexual relations with a bush! heheheh
This commercial is such a lie. Everyone knows that Barack was not born, but emerged fully formed from Zeus’ forehead.
Serolf Divad: Osama bin Laden’s mother lived in a country where she did not have a choice.
Think about it, won’t you?
Serolf Divad: Exactly! So are these buttseck lovin book totin toe tappin nutsacks for it or against it? Sounds about right - they are always for it before they are against it.
This just reminded me of my favorite tune, Every Sperm is Sacred.
Mr Blifil: FTW!
Also, aren’t these the same fucking wingnuts who were INSISTING that Barry is the ANTICHRIST?!
You don’t want to ABORT the ANTI-CHRIST?! What kind of fucking Christian ARE YOU?!
Umm, Roe wasn’t decided until 1973. And that ad was cheap and manipulative. Also.
“Life Imagine The Potential” Trade Mark of the Cathlolics?
really.
And what was that mesmerizing composition? Philip Glass?
Damn ad needs two things:
1. An exception for the health of the mother; and
2. Disclosure that Barry is going to hell.
Or, y’know, you could have just worn a condom in the first place. Oh, wait, Catholic? Then you either shouldn’t be having premarital sex or you shouldn’t be allowed to divorce, so what are you worried about?
I thought I was going to see that ultrasound baby get stabbed to death.
Bummer.
Min: We don’t, I’m going to guess they hired Jim Gartner, a serious Mormon but I like the stuff he did for Saturn.
The exact opposite ad would be me, a Suicide Girls pictorial on my laptop, lotion, and a make shift cumrag dirty sock.
It’s good, but I liked the one they did with the conga line ants at the picnic better.
Eat a little flesh… bomp a bomp Drink a little blood… bomp a bomp
Get down tonight… Get down tonight! Seriously, that songs been stuck in my head since Super Bowl XXX
Umm, Roe wasn’t decided until 1973.
Clearly, Stanley Ann was going to time-travel into the future in FDR’s magic wheelchair, getta ‘bortion, and pick up a few stock tips.
What these twits keep missing is that Barry’s mother wanted him. The aborted babies mother’s didn’t. It’s sad, but it’s a fact of life. Not every child is wanted and not every woman wants to be a mother as soon as her reproductive parts start working.
Also, I’m glad our Barry wasn’t Catholic because he would have been way too cute for some pedo priest to not try and bugger.
TexasCowGirl: It’s sad that she never lived to see him get to the top. It would’ve been awesome to see them side by side - they looked so much alike.
AxmxZ: I know. His grandparents too. Now stop or I’ll cry.
This is a really, really, old argument dressed up all fancy new. Roald Dahl wrote a great short story, I like to believe as a counterargument, in which a couple of doctors work feverishly to save a troubled birth, and as they successfully hand the baby over to its mother, they say “Congratulations, Frau Hitler, it’s a boy!”
Also.
Crazybroad: Um, there were illegal abortions aplenty in 1961
F*ck. Now I have Philip Glass running through my head. Maybe I’ll have to wean my brain by listening to The Death of Klinghoffer.
Or maybe I’ll just use vodka.
p.s. One of the weirdest bits of minimalism I’ve heard performed was Richard Stolzman performing “live” with something like nine other pre-recorded Richard Stolzmans; some Adams piece I think. Or Steve Reich.
Where did they get the sonogram of Barack Obama in utero?
mwahahaha: Same place they got his FORGED BIRTH CERTIFICATES!!1
Mighty Rex: Full of WIN!
That’s actually kind of cute.
Since they have pictures of Barack before he was born maybe they can verify that he’s an American citizen.
