Here is this new television advertisement from the League of American Voters. Exposition of plot: Only a bureaucrat with a characteristically Big Government binder would tell such a cute hipster she has to send her money to uncool dying Olds instead of spending her paycheck at rock n’ roll performances and blue v-neck t-shirt sales. Also: evidence suggests that no political organization is aware that there have been any successful advertisements other than the “Justin Long model.” [Ben Smith]
DEFINITELY APPEALING TO YOUNG PEOPLE!

OMG! Making sure sick people don’t go into hock up to their eyehairs to pay their medical bills is, like, so totally bogus!
But srsly, there is a special place in Hell for teh youngz who contribute to anti-health-reform teabagger propaganda like this.
Health care is so SEXIST! Thank goodness bloated plutocrats and their theocratic Republican marionettes respect and treasure women!
Yes youngs, you don’t need healtcare. Especially when you can make money sucking the toes of one Dick “Dick” Morris, the founder of League of Retarded US American Voters.
It’s not that the youngs don’t need healthcare. Unlike say prostate exams and hip surgeries, the youngs need HC for STDs, injuries caused by excessive drinking/drugs, Sk8terboi accidents and other stupid ideas of yout.
Ha hahahahaha. Stoopid.
I’m surprised they waited this long. Probably thought it’d never make it past the House of Reps. Let the Media-Saturation-By-Unaccountable-InterestGroups begin!
Okay, so we’re going to tax pacemakers and wheelchairs in order to pay for health care, which covers things like pacemakers and wheelchairs? Is that really what they’re claiming? Because at the very worst, that doesn’t cover anything; and at best, that doesn’t ocver anything. Which means the bill, if it’s the way the hipster says it is, isn’t worth fussing over.
In other words: more noise to stop people from having a real debate!
Willie Horton meets “where’s the beef?”
And after making her case to the government wonk she went home and “invented” Windows 7.
The original Apple ads are bad enough; and compounded by their failure, as Hodgeman seems much more likeable than Long, who comes off as the kind of smug ass who screams a non-sequitor “get a Mac” every time you mention anything your computer; wait, what was I saying? The original ads are bad, but this trend of everyone and their grandmother doing their own non-parody version is just getting out of control.
MALE: Hi, I’m a stereotype of a big government bureaucrat WITH A BIG SCARY BINDER
FEMALE: And I’m two stereotypes in one! And Asian! Since I’m a young woman, I only have a first name that ends in the diminutive “y,” I rock back and forth on the balls of my feet, I make my voice higher at the end of sentences, and I shrug at the camera while grinning sheepishly, ’cause that’s how young women roll. So, if I don’t have insurance, Obama is going to tax me a thousand bucks?
MALE: No, not a tax little lady, a fine!
FEMALE: (giggle)It makes me feel funny down there when strange men call me little lady.
MALE: Me too.
FEMALE: Wow, I’m getting hot. Did you ever do anything kinky with pacemakers and wheelchairs?
MALE: Yes, it’s right here in black and white.
FEMALE: Wanna come back to my dorm, Mr. Man? I’m rocking back and forth on the balls of my feet to entice you. Heh, I said balls.
MALE: The elderly are such a drain on the system.
FEMALE: Did you ever do anything kinky with the elderly?
MALE: Yes, and I look forward to streamlining you.
…and after this commercial, they expect young hipsters to contact their Senators? Do they think young hipsters know who their Senators are?
Add coverage for breast implants, and I think you might just sway the blue t-shirt girl over to the public option.
League of American Voters gets sued by Apple for stealing their ad gimmick in 5…4…3…2…
[re=454778]binarian[/re]: This long? There’s one ad, which screams the general scare-tactics of “rationing!” and “deficit!”, that seems to have been on constantly for the past two weeks or so; including on Olberman and Maddow.
Eh, it beats the whole egg-in-frying-pan, “This is your tax dollars. This is your tax dollars supporting government health care” or the bottled “wastes great, more killing” themes.
For the record, my favorite ad is still “Where’s the Berf (certificate)?”
[re=454787]eclecticbrotha[/re]: Apple’s gonna have to get in line behind the League of Women Voters.
[re=454784]Terry[/re]: Do they think young hipsters know WHAT senators are?
Wait, we’re going to tax her grandmother’s wheel chair and pacemaker? I thought we were just going to kill her.
[re=454790]CapnFatback[/re]: Don’t forget, “a fine is a terrible thing to waste.”
[re=454783]Katydid[/re]: FEMALE: (giggle)It makes me feel funny down there when strange men call me little lady.
There’s an app for that.
I’d like to hear what a stack of bills with googly eyes has to say on this issue before I make up my mind.
I really relate to Janie because she is young and so am I! Wow!
[re=454788]JMP[/re]: Really? I missed that. Clearly I don’t watch enough TV.
[re=454775]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Dick “Dick” + Dick Armey’s “Dick Army = Karmageddeon.
The “Justin Long” model sounds so dirty.
And Janie needs to not match her eyeshadow to her t shirt.
I picture government health care as a strung out rocker a la Lou Reed.
Will her brazilian and mustache wax be covered by healthcare insurance?
Brought to you by the “Accountability Party,” whose most recent effort at public policy resulted in the current depression the Grownups Party is trying to pull us out of.
Telling young people that it’s better to go uninsured – so that if something unexpected happens, all the rest of society will pay for their emergency room visit – is typical of the morans.
[re=454795]CapnFatback[/re]: That’s funny! Except you just gave the morans their next brilliant idea: “There’s a tax for that.”
I can be a douchebag Republican obfuscator now?
[re=454783]Katydid[/re]: At least Amy is a non-sterotypical Asian, since she apparently can’t do math. Amy, if $1,000 is 12% of your income, then you are probably eligible for Medicaid.
[re=454795]CapnFatback[/re]: Now, I’m feeling funny down there too. Goddamn antibiotics are taking forever to work.
Mr. PC, why do you persecute me? Mr. Mac would never do that.
[re=454795]CapnFatback[/re]: +1
[re=454779]Larry McAwful[/re]: Well hell, we have an economy based on writing the software for the Point of Sale register systems in fast food restaurants, hiring attorneys to patent the software (and writing the attorneys’ billing and accounting software) and then preparing and eating and buying and selling Tacos and Sliders in themed drive-ins, (and mowing lawns) and thats working out well.
There is such a thing as perpetual motion, I tell you. Its the circle-jerk economy; I give you $100 for a handjob, you give it to the next person, he gives it to the next person; if we have 100 people in our circle-jerk, by the time that hundred goes around just one time, we have a GDP of $10,000!
What people don’t understand, I guess, is that the infinite sum of the series 1/x to the N, where N is greater than 1, is a finite number.
[re=454791]user-of-owls[/re]: Well, League of Extraordinary Dumbasses would have been their first choice but Alan Moore said Hell to the No.
You damn kids should order a diet coke with that big mac, that should help.
It’s awesome they got Jonah Goldberg and Michelle Malkin to do this gig.
Yeah yeah yeah, I’m stereotyping oriental broads and chubby honkey man-babies. Sue me.
She couldn’t possibly be an American voter. She’s not white.
[re=454815]Prommie[/re]: God, I always hated math…
[re=454783]Katydid[/re]: well done.
12% of her paycheck = 1000? So she makes $8333 per year? That’s not even minimum wage. Jeannie should report her employer to the Government Guy. What is she, some kinda illegal alien?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest that it is possible that these are not union performers.
[re=454793]Jim Demintia[/re]: I know. I’m confused too. It must be that big government health care is going to use the wheelchairs it buys by taxing young people to push the olds off a cliff.
[re=454853]Aurelio[/re]: I guess the Republicans don’t want to mention that Janie doesn’t make enough money to have to pay taxes. Just let everybody think that the government actually makes someone making $8,000 a year pay 12% of it in taxes. That way no one notices that the grossly wealthy aren’t paying their share.
How much to hire a cadre of crack-cocaine related sex workers to blow such numbfucks as Jonah Goldberg constantly so they drop off the face of the twattersphere and stop making me want to drown kittens by hand? Cuz I got 5 on it.
Everyone knows that, in general, nine out of 10 ads–everywhere, on television, on radio, in newspapers, in magazines, on billboards, everywhere–are crap, just absolute crap. And everyone knows that nine out of 10 ads regarding any political issue are also crap, and this piece of manure proves that point.
The entire advertising industry needs to be replaced by people who are honest–and who have talent.
[re=454883]Snarkalicious[/re]: Mwuh? How the hell did I end up in here? My point still stands. So, yes, healthcare for all. Except for Jonah Goldberg, the LAV, et al. In their case I say “Dickwarts for Dickwarts 2012!”
[re=454794]user-of-owls[/re]: Why do I suspect that their take on the old Lifecall commercial would include Big Binder Dude from the abov ad mocking Mrs. Fletcher derisively while violating Lady Liberty anally with his binder?
[re=454772]HedonismBot[/re]: I seriously hope this happens to this woman while she is among the uninsured- http://www.sphere.com/2009/11/06/woman-reveals-health-horror-my-vagina-fell-out/?icid=main|main|dl1|link7|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sphere.com%2F2009%2F11%2F06%2Fwoman-reveals-health-horror-my-vagina-fell-out%2F
This actually gives me a good idea, to try and get more young voters to support the public option, just rename it the iOption.
[re=454853]Aurelio[/re]: If she’s illegal she can’t have the health care and so won’t have to pay the $1000, so she should quit whining already.
When I say “National,” you say “Health Care…”
National! Health Care!
Go Meat! Also.
You’re Government Health Care? Well isn’t that special. I’m a Mac.
That was so offensive on so many levels.
Mac users usually smell like weed and patchouli oil, and have long dirty unwashed hair.
PC users look look like Ken Ryker from the middle 1990′s.
LINUX users look like the fat smelly basement dweller from this ad.
Also, this ad is really whiny and pretentious.
[re=454905]mookworthjwilson[/re]: That was a hell of a case of “Sleeve of Wizard Syndrome.” Touching story, though, how her hubbie stuck with her through the labial reduction surgery, aka “hemming the meat curtains.”
[re=454884]thefrontpage[/re]:
REALLY?
I just came back from Alabama, Mississippi & Tennessee. No these people believe everything on TV.
Some of my partner’s family actually thought the transporters from Star Trek existed, because they couldn’t grasp the concept of CGI.
Hi. I’m Michelle Malkin. Unlike me, my husband has a job. He gets family health insurance through his employer. So I don’ts needs no stinkin’ socialist Big Government health insurance. (I pray to God he doesn’t divorce me and take the kids.)
Best part of the commercial is at the end when he says the gov is cutting Medicare by $400 million dollars by streamlining it, as “old people are such a drain on the system.” Hot young gives a look like “Well that actually does sound pretty reasonable….”
How stupid do you have to be to get sick?
GOP: Defenders of Medicare since 3 months ago.
It could just be because I’m a sucker for Garanimals-wearing grade schoolers, but I think that Cao chick is actually kinda cute.
needs more Juno
[re=455001]detfrost1[/re]: Are you saying you believe our BFF, Shit Fuck Pat is able to navigate system operation from the command line? Not buyin’ it.
It’s so crazy that all of this is happening while Lauren is away.
[re=454942]earnestcivilservant[/re]: Good point. She should just get in line at the Emergency Room for her horrible old illegal alien disease.
@YoungJamieChick You Bastard piece of shit fuck! GO BACK TO Saigon, South Vietnam where you fucking BELONG GOOK! #GOP #TCOT #TLOT #TEAPARTY
