So you think the Brosurance and the Pajama Boy ads for Obamacare were pretty weird? Well, to paraphrase Al Jolson, you ain't seen nothing yet!

And what you haven't seen yet is a surreal danceoff performance between Richard Simmons and a contortionist during a six hour Obamacare infomercial produced by Covered California. They were supposed to inspire young people to sign up but mostly what they did is inspire a lot of laughter...along with a bunch of dropped jaws. Perhaps "surreal" doesn't adequately describe this video (and below the fold) since it is more like a laughable rip in the space/time continuum.

Young people will suffocate from laughter watching this Richard Simmons performance before they have a chance to avoid signing up for ObamaCare.

I’m beginning to think that Richard Simmons might be a homosexual.

[Ditter]

NO Richard Simmons a faggot???? Tell me you are joking!

[MeshugeMikey]

Id love to be able to make a parody of it...but it doesnt lend itself to parody

Good God and our taxpayer dollars went to fund this nonsense? And Richard Simmons is a whack job, I saw him on Cavuto a while back, he needs a serious mental evaluation, or a straight jacket, either one

Young people will suffocate from laughter watching this Richard Simmons performance before they have a chance to avoid signing up for ObamaCare.

But if they do sign up, treatment for their suffocation will be covered by Obamacare. :=)

The French embraced the feminization of males before WWI and II and the Germans rolled right over them. Imagine Queermerica vs poon-starved Chinese and food-starved Norks.

[workerbee]

Wow.

I. Just... Wow.

Is this real? This is NOT a parody?

Just... I... wow.

[Kirkwood]

You know this is like?

Yeah, I don’t know either.

[Huskrrrr]

This is wrong....just...WRONG!

[AppyPappy]

No. He’s a performer.

[workerbee]

This “infomercial” makes Pajamaboy look overly-testosteroned.

If there is such a word.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

That’s what the world too often thinks of when they consider the USA. Hollywood, popular culture and the hedonistic political-entertainment complex are providing constant evidence that Khomeini might have been on to something when he called America the Great Satan.
