The response in the dextrosphere has been…well, not exactly subdued.
P.S. This guy is being referred to all over the place as a "hipster". When did hipsters start looking like bookish Pee Wee Hermans? I remember when hipsters looked like this...
and like this...
and, especially, like this...
So, in the current cultural/aesthetic environment, is this now supposed to be a "babe"?
Update: For those who don't know, the woman in the picture is Rosie O'Donnell: former talk show host, terrible actress, and noted 9/11 truther.
Lots of hilarity from that one!
ReplyDeleteRobert Mitchum as a hipster?
ReplyDeleteWeeeell I never, times have changed.
That thing in that bambicare ad, I'd describe it as a "cissy".
Mitchum was the first (movie) hipster.
ReplyDeleteWell, that last one does start with a "b".
ReplyDeleteI don't recognize that last one "Rachel Maddow's dad, maybe?) but I'm sure David Sirota could take him out with one air punch.
ReplyDeleteBAM!
Isn't it weird that after all the years of campaigning on health care they wait until now, when they find it politically useful, before they start telling people they should go get insurance.
ReplyDeletePoor Pajama Boy. Little did he realize when he took the job that it would kill his social life. Would you go out on a date with Pajama Boy?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Milquetoast, I dub this 'Hollywood healthcare' - merely for the election cycle they throw up a facade, a 'set' with no evidence of long-term planning. Political advantage is primary.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not part of the American Icon Series, but certainly part of the Left Icon Series.
ReplyDeleteObama not going well? PJMAN to the rescue!
Imagine the televised debates had gone differently
ReplyDeletemoderator : Senator Obama, what is your plan for the uninsured?
Barack Obama : I'm going to produce an ad campaign to tell people to tell other people to get insurance. It'll be an extensive campaign : we'll post it on twitter and then my supporters will probably retweet it.
moderator : So, you think that will work?
Barack Obama : Well, the entire argument will be made in 20 words or less.
moderator : Are you starting this advertising campaign now?
Barack Obama : Whoa! Absolutely not! That's just crazy talk. We want those people to stay uninsured until we make a website where people can shop for insurance. We'll only encourage them to get insurance once we can claim an expensive government program caused it and we can take credit for it.
moderator : Aren't there other websites where people can shop for insurance?
Barack Obama : We should be able to do a lot of cool stuff with millions and millions of dollars of government money. I've posted things on twitter and it turns out doing a website is easy.
