    This is pure genius! I think comedy has taken sex appeal as the #1 advertising tool. Sean Hannity to dislike The Onion in 3…2…

      Captain – Do you really think that paying for this lackluster ad campaign is a good use of your tax dollars? People like you are the reason that this president can get away with the things he gets away with. You’re just not very smart.

    May I ask why this needs to be advertised at all? You would have to be living at the bottom of Lake Michigan to not know of this “product”. All that money being spent on adds when it could be going towards all the legal bills it has generated not to mention to feeding the hungry children.

      FFA, we need to advertise this because that 33 million in advertising creates or saves jobs. They are not just pushing healthcare, they are putting people to work. Multitasking at it’s best, pushing healthcare.gov while putting a someone to work writing the ads. Now if you get down to the cost per job, my guess is about 5 mil per job, but hey, it’s all worth 33 million, right? So tired of this kind of wasting of funds and then crying that we don’t have enough for humanitarian efforts. 33 million may be a drop in the bucket in today’s spending, but it sure goes a long way when stocking a food bank, buying school supplies for needy kids, etc. so long as you can keep the bureaucrats out of it.

    It is a crying shame that it has come to this. Why are we advertising a product that “everybody is going to love?”
    Another waste of tax payer dollars but then when it is not your
    money, why would you care. Our country is being run by idiots.
    May they all suffer the fate of their actions.

    It would only be a waste of money if this ad appeared in the NRA magazine, Hot Rod Magazine, Dirt Rider, Texican Times, or WWE Weekly. Those are picture pages for those who can’t read.
