OK, I’m way late blogging this.

Even MSNBC Is Laughing
Hysterically at Pajama Boy

Meanwhile, an organization called “Out2Enroll” (get it?) produced this gay-themed ad for ObamaCare:

 

Exit Questions: How many U.S. tax dollars are being spent to fund these laughable ObamaCare propaganda efforts? Couldn’t that money be better spent on, y’know, actual health care?

    four comments in one:

    1. I watched the video – someone owes me 2 minutes of my life back.

    2. Somewhere else, a commenter conjured up the image of those pajamas having a back door “back flap”. Refer to Duck Dynasty for what that implies.

    3. Anyone commenting on any gay connotations is a Right-wing, Republican, gay-bashing hater.

    4. I guess point 2 above makes me point 3.

    When I first glanced at the picture, I thought it was Leonard Hoffsteder from Big Bang Theory.

    Howsomeever, think about what it tells us: that some guy who obviously has no wife or girlfriend — if’n he did, he wouldn’t have pajamas like that! — is sitting around, talking to his also-lonely friends about getting health insurance. It says nothing about actually buying health insurance, or how the guys who couldn’t afford health insurance before are going to be able to pay for health insurance now.

    Everybody in the internet seems to be talking about this. I’m pretty sure that’s considered a #win in marketing circles.

    “Pajama Boy” seems to look a lot like a slimed down version of SNL asexual character “Pat”

    If this is a “win” then I think this country is too far gone to save. Heck, we will be gone anyway in fifty years because a society of “Pajama Boys” will be unable to breed.
