Critics Slam Sexually Suggestive ObamaCare Ads

by JASmius

Brosurance, Hosurance....Nosurance:






I'm guessing this means ObamaCare covers detox benefits and Alcoholics Anonymous memberships.  And, hopefully, AIDS.

This one is kind of pathetic:



Rather like "Drop Dead Diva" except for the dropping dead part.  I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that I don't think Gosling would let this sweathog valet-park his 'vette (or whatever the heck he drives), or wash & wax it, much less try to shoehorn himself and her into its back seat (or front seat, or trunk, or on the hood).  Her wardrobe and manic facial expression suggests she dry-humps that cardboard cutout on a regular basis.  Wheeeeeee!

Speaking of which:




Okay, the humping isn't dry here.  In fact, I would estimate that Susie is about three seconds from being on her knees, judging from her, um, oral pre-configuration.

These OCare ads look like the banner ads from a porn site, truth be told.  Ace thinks Millennials should be insulted that the Regime sees them as moronic idlers and daffy skanks.  Whether they are or not - or even have the brains to be, most of them - is anybody's guess.  I think the ads would have been far more entertaining by putting elderly models in these same poses - after all, it's the young who are being screwed by ObamaCare for their benefit, so it's geezers who should be partying, right? 

But Michelle Malkin and a pitchfork & torch-wielding mob are putting their focus on the marketing campaign's creators:

Ads pushing sex and booze are being used in Colorado to sell ObamaCare to young men and women.

Two liberal groups pushing the Affordable Care Act — ProgressNow Colorado and Colorado Consumer Health Initiative — have launched an ad campaign that appears [?] to promote casual sex with free contraceptives while enticing young adults to sign up for President Barack Obama's healthcare insurance program, the Denver Post reports.

Well, I matriculated at Washington State University back in the early 1980s when Wazzu was the #1 party school in the country (no joke - as rated in Playboy magazine, 1984.  #2?  University of Idaho, just over the Idaho border).  And I can testify that if you had put up signs around campus promising free beer and hummers, you could have sold beheadings to half the student body (at least, the half that wasn't in tequila comas).  Today?  I don't even want to speculate.

But then, thirty years ago the president of the United States (indirectly) wouldn't have been the "Pimp-In-Chief," either.

Called "Got Insurance" and appearing on social media websites, the controversial ads also seem to promote partying and drinking beer right out of a keg.

The administration is desperate to entice young men and women to enroll in the new healthcare reform program because their participation could ultimately help keep premium costs down.

But Republican strategist Kelly Maher calls the ads "demeaning" to women and a brazen attempt to "distract" from the fact that thousands of people in Colorado have had their healthcare plans canceled because of ObamaCare, according to the Post.

I guess this is the part I don't get.  What is there in these human debris commercials that "entices" anything?  The three "bros" look like Jeff Spiccoli rejects, "Nick's" proto-beard looks like it was sprayed out of a can, "Susie" looks like she's had all manner of fluids sprayed on her, and "Ali"....I mean, these are supposed to be "beautiful people," and all of them are uglier than an underwear skidmark.  They're also supposed to be "cool," but they're more pathetically dorky than Sarah Jessica Parker in her "Square Pegs" days.  I mean, yeah, the Regime is "desperate to entice young men and women to" bend over and grab their ankles, and "young men and women" gave them all the reason in the world in the past two presidential elections to harbor such contempt for them as to put out ads like this, but.....seriously, dude?

Well, ProgressNow’s Alan Franklin was proud of it:

Within the first few weeks, “Brosurance” has been featured by the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, CNN, MSNBC, Conan O’Brien, Bill Maher, and Roll Call, as well as the front page[s] of BuzzFeed and Jezebel, just to name a few. Just in the first 24 hours of the campaign’s launch alone, #Brosurance was mentioned more than six million times on Twitter, and #GotInsurance more than 1.7 million times. Yes. The ads went viral.

Perhaps the ads went viral because they were pornographic garbage, Al.  You know, like the shark eating Quint at the end of Jaws - you didn't want to look, but you couldn't take your eyes off the grisly spectacle.

PN's executive director, Amy Runyon-Harms, was equally as unrepentant:

The whole intention of these ads is to raise awareness, and that's what we're doing. It's great that more and more people are talking about it.

Oh, yeah, Amy, it raised awareness and has people talking, alright.  Just not about what you intended:

Maher, executive director of the conservative Compass Colorado, said in a statement that she's appalled by the ads.

"This campaign is desperately trying to distract from the fact that exchange sign-ups have essentially ground to a halt," she said, the Post reported. "While nearly a quarter of a million Coloradans have had their plans canceled, ProgressNow Colorado and Colorado Consumer Health Initiative are demeaning and belittling women with shallow sexual caricatures and making light of serious women's health issues."

According to the New York Post, conservative talk-radio host Dana Loesch also slammed the promotion campaign on Twitter, calling it the 'You’re a whore' ad for Obamacare, adding, "So basically, hosurance."

Or, again, "Nosurance".  Becauses the Left's war isn't just against women.

It does go to show, though, that the worse ObamaCare gets, the deeper Obamunists will retreat into their delusional, existential bubble.  At what point that psychological retreat crosses the frontier of mental illness, I don't know.  But I bet when they do, they'll find "Ali" there, banging away.
