“Revenge of the Public Option” Starring Heather Graham

You may recall the “Track Meet” video that MoveOn.org produced back in October advocating the public option and starring Heather Graham.

Well, it’s been a few months now with little progress and “Roller Girl” has just about had it with those of you who aren’t on board with the public option.

Thanks for the link, Sharp Elbows!

Moveon.org is protesting today or something.

They’re going to Claire McCaskill’s office or something. I got a copy of one of their posters.

Roller Girl = Public Option. Now I get it.

This is hilarious, and I can hardly believe it exists.

Heather Graham, well-stretched and wearing track gear, starts with about a 10-yard head start and yet all these business-dressed, apparently out-of-shape avatars for insurance companies manage to quickly catch up with her.

This “race” metaphor is so dumb, but it’s only made worse by selecting an actress who is clearly not very athletic, then inexplicably, showing her quickly lose ground to the rest of the group. (Where are her rollerskates?)

Bad metaphor, poorly executed. Kind of suggests the opposite of what they wanted.

I predict somebody parodies this by Friday, and the parody– in addition to being more clever and better executed– receives substantially more views than the original.

Comments on the YouTube video are blocked. Awesome stuff, MoveOn.org.

Will Ferrell still hard at work finding ways to alienate and bore people who used to think he was funny

There is plenty of leftist political satire that I can begrudgingly enjoy, but I was pretty surprised at how not-funny this mock “Protect Insurance Companies” PSA ad is:

Protect Insurance Companies PSA from Will Ferrell

Being a big fan of “The State” and “Freaks and Geeks,” it took me a little longer to hate this video than say, the latest release from those vapid celebrities in the Film Actors Guild:

UPDATE: More from Hot Air:

No one who pocketed $20 million for any movie, let alone Bewitched and Talladega Nights, has any room to talk about overpaid execs.
