Obama ad compares losing virginity to voting

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So is this Sandra Fluke's younger sister or something?

She's a pretty funny writer/director/actress.

Saying this is an "Obama ad" is a bit misleading, implying it appears on TV or something, Obama doesn't appear anywhere in it or say "I approve this message". Was it even commissioned by the Obama campaign? Feels more like it was just made by Lena Dunham on her own. Obviously not going to change anyone's vote, but also obviously aimed at convincing college kids and youngs to vote who probably wouldn't anyway. All in all a non-issue.

Actually I'm disappointed in Lena Dunham if she's correct in describing her first time voting as for Barack Obama, since she is 26, and thus skipped out on voting for John Kerry and in 2006. Boo.

It IS a tame video though. I mean there is nothing in there that wouldn't be possible in a PG movie.

LOL@that nonsense about the punk movement above. Punk subculture has been completely and utterly taken oven by mainstream liberalism and most people active in the scene are now loyal complete Democratic hacks. Last night I went to a show to fundraise for Democratic organizations. Campaigning for the Green Party at a punk show in this day is as likely to go over as well as campaigning for the Republican Party.

I agree with brittain, this is a good. The thing is everyone who has bashed it who posts on this forum is not in the target audience, young women who are on the fence about voting. Everything Dunham summarized is obvious to people who pay attention to politics already. And what do you expect an ad with Lena Dunham to be like without using her wit in a humorous way? Would you expect her to just stare at the screen and read off his accomplishments?
