Default Conservatives Say Unbelievably Creepy Shit

Creepy New Koch Brothers Ad Shows Uncle Sam ‘Playing Doctor’ | The Daily Banter

Quote:
Inside an exam room, the woman is greeted by a doctor, presumably a gynecologist, who instructs the woman to hop onto the examination table and to, you know, “scoot on down.” The women props her feet in the stirrups in preparation for a vaginal exam at which time the doctor mysteriously leaves the room. After an uncomfortable beat, a man dressed in a disturbing Uncle Sam costume that looks like something out of a Rob Zombie torture-porn movie, complete with an over-sized grinning mask, rises up from below frame and stands creepily between the woman’s legs. Cut to the text: “Don’t let government play doctor” (get the sexual, rapey vibe here?) and then “Opt Out of ObamaCare.” After another beat, Ghoulish Uncle Sam ominously holds up a metallic vaginal speculum. Yes, a speculum, which he then proceeds to spread apart while tilting his head sideways with the same eerie grin plastered across his distorted face.

This an actual anti-Obamacare ad.
Congratulations, Koch Brothers! You've made Uncle Fucking Sam into a rapey villain!

Who on earth is that supposed to appeal to?

It's like something you'd see on the Funny or Die website.

You're over there in Angleand with your socialism and your free health care so you wouldn't know anything about the boostrapping exceptionalism that built America into the great and independent nation of bootstrapping exceptional individuals. This is supposed to appeal to the people who think the government can't do anything right or the government is only out to oppress people and that also the private sector can do everything and anything better and cheaper and more comprehensively than the government.

It's funny how they forgot how we got to this point. Creepy capitalist insurance companies who are literally controlling our exams and treatments. I wonder if the Koch bros have any holdings in healthcare???

Oh, I'm sure everyone who watches it gets the super wiggins. The difference is what message they're getting from it.

I saw Ellen Page tweet this yesterday, but had no idea what she was talking about, not getting the US-ads over here:

Can someone take that ad where a woman is being sexually harassed by a man in a mask off tv please?
That shit is insane and disturbing.
I think that pretty much sums it up.

Here is a Boston Globe story about it, and a fair use excerpt from that, in case it gets blocked too:

Quote:
A prominent North Shore psychiatrist is facing lawsuits from three female patients who say he lured them into degrading sexual relationships, including beatings, conversations about bondage, and, in one case, getting a tattoo of the doctor’s initials to show his “ownership” of her, according to court documents.

The women allege that Dr. Keith Ablow, an author who was a contributor to Fox News network until 2017, abused his position while treating them for acute depression, leaving them unable to trust authority figures and plagued with feelings of shame and self-recrimination.

“He began to hit me when we engaged in sexual activities,” wrote one plaintiff, a New York woman, in a sworn affidavit filed with her lawsuit. “He would have me on my knees and begin to beat me with his hands on my breasts,” she wrote, “occasionally saying, ‘I own you,’ or ‘You are my slave.’”

We have the Patriots owner consulting with pros, which to me, so what, except that the workers might be human trafficking victims, plus something about some fuck who worked a deal to get a millionaire off the hook with an overly generous plea agreement. The victims, some of whom were underage, were supposed to know about the agreement negotiations but it was sealed so they didn't know. Now the fuck is I believe in the service of the government somehow and Trump was just today saying what a nice man he is. I think both of those are wtf Florida stories, but it is not The Man's fault, we need to be clear about that. Nobody break bad on The Man about this, ok?



Quote:
A federal judge ruled Thursday that prosecutors broke federal law in brokering a 2008 plea agreement for hedge-fund manager and millionaire Jeffrey Epstein. in 2005, Epstein was accused of orchestrating a sex trafficking ring and sexually assaulting dozens of minors. His plea agreement, which was sealed from the public record, distilled these accusations into two prostitution charges and arranged for Epstein to spend 13 months in a private wing of a Palm Beach county jail with six days of work release to his office each week.

In his ruling, Judge Kenneth Marra found that prosecutors—led by former Miami US Attorney, and current US Secretary of Labor, Alex Acosta—violated the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA) by sealing Epstein’s plea agreement so that Epstein’s victims could not see its terms or speak at his sentencing.

Marra’s opinion detailed a series of communications between the US Attorney’s office and Epstein’s legal team in which both parties agreed that the prosecution would not pursue federal charges and that the victims would not be notified. Marra noted that “[i]t was a deviation from the Government’s practice to negotiate with defense counsel about the extent of crime victim notifications.”
