Not a Parody

girlsurance

 

Hattip to Instapundit and commenter Nate.  The above is an ad put out by “Thanks ObamaCare”, a group supporting ObamaCare.  I wonder if the young lady will still be smiling when she calculates how much her “free” birth control is costing her.

I actually like the ad.  It conveys the complete and utter contempt that the Obama administration consistently displays for their key voting blocs.  I can imagine the bull session that went into the ad.  “Yeah we have to convince young people to buy insurance that most of them do not need at an inflated price with high deductibles.  How to do this?  I know, we will put out an ad showing a hot guy and a hot gal and link having insurance to “free”  birth control and having sex.  Hey, stop laughing!  I know it’s stupid, but so are our voters!”

Got to love that the ad is so over-the-top idiotic that Planned Parenthood originally thought it was an anti-Obamacare parody and blasted it as such:

I’d just like to say that I did NOT tip off Don because I’m the Nate in the photo.

I did a series of a tasteful nudes for Obamacare.

Well, it’s bread and circuses, and Caesars, and everything else that happens when a people decline.

I assumed it was real. Because during the 2012 campaign season, I thought characters like Sandra, Julia, Lena, Alicia, Cecile, and all of the costumed Code Pinksters would cause young women to draw back from Democrats in horror and in shame and in fury. They did not. It’s not clear we’ve hit bottom yet.

In America it has come down to those who believe in a truth/reality rooted in the transcendant and those who do not. And they do not line up politically. We can no longer expect to read meaning in politics. Politics has become a purely pragmatic enterprise. It is about how to accomplish things efficiently — and democrats and republicans happen to have different understandings about that. But we no longer find a fundamental clash of worldviews there. It is no longer a matter of atheists verses people of faith in the political arena. I’ve seen too many crass republicans and felt their greed, their ignorance, and their selfish pride. No, the political arena is no place to discern the war of good and evil. That goes on in the lives of every one of us, and it is a spiritual and hence, invisible battle.

tamsin: Hell is a bottomless pit. There is no bottom nor top in the metaphysical world. While we are preoccupied with fornication, our enemies will be preoccupied with subduing us. Nakedness is designed to humiliate the enslaved.

I guess Sandra Fluke was unavailable for the photo shoot. Or maybe her fee was too high.

Darwin, that’s both hilarious and sad.

And then, when it became apparent that it was actually supporters of Obamacare who had produced the ad “slutshaming women”, Planned Parenthood suddenly changed their tune – without an apology, mind you, to the people they had falsely accused – and found the ad to be “good”:

“2 B clear, ads encouraging women 2 B healthy are good! So is dialogue about birth control”

About as clear an indication you’ll ever see that politics in this country has become nothing more than a team sport where “our side” = good and “their side” = bad.

Is Nate Winchester’s comment for real, or satire? if for real, then why would someone be proud of being a hedonistic promiscuous sexual pervert and purveyor of pornography?

Maybe I am just too thick headed to understand the humor. I much prefer nuclear engineering – very straightforward.

Oh Paul I was joking. It was intended to be over the top and silly.

Though these days… gets hard to tell I’ll admit.
