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.

I was hooked and bought health insurance after seeing the signs like “Yoga” and “exercise” hanging in the background. The turntablist and the huge collar shirt the wannabe hipster doofus was wearing was what got me to tell my friends and family.
Do the powers that be really think some 20-something is going to see this and be motivated and inspired to sign up for health insurance?

It is baffling. I am thinking that perhaps there was money that had to be spent so they just wasted it on this type of advertising....?
Either they’re out of touch or I am.
I know if I was sitting around with my friends back when I was in my 20’s and we saw this, the mockery would have been swift, loud and non-stop.
But most of us had jobs with health insurance and never really expected “someone else” to make sure we were comfortable.
On the sissy-scale Pajamaboy is a John Wayne compared to the gender confusion in the video.
Well, Pajamaboy does wear an estrogen patch on his back that covers the entire ribcage, but I don’t think he wears it of his own free will. There’s a lot of outside coercion in his life. I am certain it’s not to keep testosterone in check.
They’re going to get John Waters to direct a spot, what do you wanna bet? This stuff’s just getting weirder and weirder.
I thought the Asian gal was there to bring some gravitas and intelligence to the whole thing. You know to balance it out. That Asian was a female, correct?
If this is what the Obama Administration is using to promote Obamacare it shows not only desperation but totally idiocy. What the hell is going on? This was bizarre plus ten.
If the administration thought Obamcare was financially sound and rational, they would have people in front of the cameras showing how much they have saved by going to Obamacare.
Obmacare is going down the tubes and they know it. When the employer mandate kicks in, all hell will break loose on this administration.
Obamacare has turned into a HUGE joke, and what is going to happen is that Obama and his minions are going to demand a single payer system, that is the goal they are hoping for..all this nonsense with Richard Simmons, Pajama Boy and everything else, its all a rouse to get to the end game, which is single payer
Thanks! I needed that!
Ya, you and me both. That’s not even funny not even remotely.
Looks like an attempted brainwash session to me. Those people are the very definition on freaks and shouldn’t be allowed in civilized society.
This new stereotype really irritates me.
I *like* hot chocolate.
(But then I don’t even own any pajamas.)
The last time I saw Simmons on Fox News he was on Neil Cavuto. It was the strangest interview I ever witnessed. Simmons told him in tears that he struggled about returning to the show because Cavuto was mean to him last time, and then began to tell the story of when he was in high school. I turned it off before the interview was over. It was just too weird.
Only after they’ve paid their 5k deductible
DIMs/LIBs are insane.
Nooo! Say it ain't so! < /sarc >
