GOP Produces Hilarious Mac/PC Commercials That Are Not At All Full Of And Based On Dumb Lies



Here are some dumb GOP commercials “parodying” those Mac vs. PC commercials that used to make middle-aged white men so angry. Remember those? Are you a middle-aged white man? Then you definitely hated that smug Justing Long guy for sure, for showing you up as the sad pathetic guy in khakis that you totally are, which doesn’t even make sense because the Mac was always REALLY NICE to poor John Hodgman. He was not smug at all! And John Hodgman was AN ASSHOLE!

Anyway, GOP.com has produced some hilarious parodies of those commercials, but they are not Mac and PC anymore, they are “Private Sector” and “Obamacare”! That is pretty good, right? Like, “Obamacare” is lying on the ground, because he is “down” for “maintenance”! And “Private Sector” is all like, you would never find me lying on the ground, because someone would get fired! And also, you will always be able to reach someone in the private sector if you have a problem, because “customer service.” And also squared, WHAT THE FUCK IDIOTS OBAMACARE AND PRIVATE SECTOR ARE THE SAME FUCKING THING I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU GAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.

Here is another dumb lie.



Nope. Also, if you watch “Lawrence O’Donnell Yells About The West Wing For An Hour, As You Do,” you already know that the IRS is proscribed by law from actually doing anything to collect your $95 fine beyond taking it out of any future refunds you might be owed, which is pretty much the same as getting thrown in a FEMA camp by Inspector Javert.

with new releases of IOS, some iPhone versions and some iPad versions.

Yet the GOP didn't call for them to fire anyone and I don't think there were any high profile firings as a result.

I guess one factor is they seem to never attend acting school, just as they believe running government requires no actual skill.
