Will Shitty Obamacare Ads Get Young People to Buy Insurance?

…or just increase the number of victims of side-splitting
hoolarity?

As part of something called the “Thanks Obamacare
campaign
,” a bunch of folks at various grammatically challenged
Colorado-based nonprofits have rolled out an ad campaign at
doyougotinsurance.com.
Check out all the ads at the site, or just peruse these three
lowlights.

Here’s one titled “Brosurance”:

Question: Is there a copay for butt-chugging accidents? I’m just
asking for a friend.

Then there’s this one, which has already been dubbed Ho-surance
by the wags on the Twitter:

More tips to save the $10 a month cost for oral contraceptives
are online at
Woman’s Health
.

Finally, we don’t have to put away our machetes after clearing

to look at even more ads that will make you not only think
twice about Obamacare but about the decision to let Colorado enter
the union way back when. Among the gags are jokes about drinking
(beer, shots), kid sports, Ryan Gosling (natch), kayaking, and so
much more. About the only possible meme missing is a Richard Gere
gerbil motif. But you gotta save something for the second round,
right?

None of the ads explains why you should bother signing up for
insurance before showing up at the hospital or the doctor’s office
by the way.
