A friend knows #PajamaBoy, says he works for OFA, is still on his parent's health insurance, lives at home #oops #tcot

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.

No wonder Obama’s “Julia” is alone with her choice of man being “Pajama Boy.”

I am definitely H8ing these ads.

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.

[…] TOM: Democrats try to reach out to hipsters and gays, fail miserably. […]
December 19th, 2013 @ 11:47 am
Everybody in the internet seems to be talking about this. I’m pretty sure that’s considered a #win in marketing circles.
The GOP just never gets it.
December 19th, 2013 @ 11:50 am
“Pajama Boy” seems to look a lot like a slimed down version of SNL asexual character “Pat”
December 19th, 2013 @ 12:05 pm
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.
December 19th, 2013 @ 12:06 pm
I thought so too, did a post on it about a half hour ago…

So, this is what the democrats think gay men are like. Truly, the party of invidious stereotypes.

I think we have less than 10 years as a political entity.

What an absolute lack of self-awareness on the part of POTUS.
We knew the emperor had no clothes. Now we know he has no brain…

and probably atrophied testicals

Actually, Pajama Boy seems like Julia’s male alter ego.
December 19th, 2013 @ 2:22 pm
Like I said: Giving the pairing of Julia and Pajama Boy, can you blame her for opting to go it alone?
December 19th, 2013 @ 3:57 pm
His name is Ethan Krupp…
December 19th, 2013 @ 4:32 pm
I think everyone’s making fun of it. That’s not a win.
December 19th, 2013 @ 4:51 pm
Video: going for the “young, sexy, smart (?)” demographic I see. Also the highest risk pool.

Sure it is. There’s no such thing as bad publicity.

Lives at home with Mommy and Daddy from what I heard?
December 19th, 2013 @ 6:15 pm
Sorry, but I think there is such a thing as bad publicity.
December 19th, 2013 @ 6:17 pm
Could only stomach about 30 seconds of the video. Is this the “young, smart (?) sexy” demographic they’re after? Talk about a high risk pool.
December 19th, 2013 @ 6:24 pm
Google “Streisand Effect”.

I don’t know if he’s gay, but what a fruit.

Scion of the uber-Aryan Prussian Krupp family of Weimar Republic and Nazi Reich fame?
December 19th, 2013 @ 8:50 pm
Perhaps the pajamas are why he has no girlfriend.
Leonard could beat his ass, though.

To answer your question: they’ve spent about $175 million on advertising so far, another $200 million planned for next year, total $500 million budgeted for advertising/marketing/promotions

What would it have cost to hire one good web designer and a half dozen competent coders?

President Homey don’t code, and he doesn’t see any reason anyone else should, either.
