Some people might try to defend these ads by saying they’re ‘making fun of sexism’ ironically… somehow. Advertisers must believe that the use of irony distances themselves from male chauvinism but that isn’t the case. While we think we are in on the joke, the reality is they aren’t making fun of or pointing out sexism, they’re doing it.
…Marketers love the uber ironic sexist style of advertising because they can use all the racist, sexist misogynist imagery they want and simultaneously distance themselves from it with a little wink and a nod.

Film trailer cliches, I thought, had exactly two meanings to Americans: you are about to see a film trailer, or you’re about to see a joke. The earnestness that Pawlenty brings to this is baffling. It’s like he’s only speaking to people who never have read the Onion, never have seen a comedy made after 1960, think the word “camp” only refers to places you go for vacation, and only turn YouTube when someone sends them a video of a kitten licking a puppy. This video says, “Are you obtuse? Completely out of touch? Unable to understand even the most primitive of jokes? Completely devoid of any appreciation for irony? Then vote for Tim Pawlenty.”

It bothers me just a bit that while all these reasons why the Democrats got swamped in the mid terms are floating around, very few are calling attention to the right-wing echo chamber which ratcheted up the lies against Obama and the Democrats, thereby scaring Americans and exploiting covert prejudices against Obama.
Saying “that’s just how politics is” is a cop-out. Strangely enough, the same people who always claim about how sick they are with Washington or how Washington is broken seems to always be silent when it comes to calling lies out. You can’t defeat a disease without naming it.
When will we address THIS reason why the Democrats lost the mid terms?

THE RALLY TO RESTORE VANITY: GENERATION X CELEBRATES ITS HOMERIC STRUGGLE AGAINST LAMENESS
A century-old ideological movement, Liberalism: once devoted to impossible causes like ending racism and inequality, empowering the powerless, fighting against militarism, and all that silly hippie shit—now it’s been reduced to besting the other side at one-liners…and to the Liberals’ credit, they’re clearly on top. Sure there are a lot of problems out there, a lot of pressing needs—but the main thing is, the Liberals don’t look nearly as stupid as the other guys do. And if you don’t know how important that is to this generation, then you won’t understand what’s so wrong and so deeply depressing about the Jon Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity.

Sadly, a case of The Onion imitating life.
