It makes too much sense.  Too many Americans don't understand it all.  Sadly, the great Billy Mays is no longer with us, but there are others.

I have no doubt Vince Offer could drive up Obamacare approvals and registration with 3 minutes during a football game, and explain everything from the site, to preventative care, and plan options:

Billy Mays was a Republican. Quit trying to steal our most famous Republican celebrity.

I would prefer they went the full-on propaganda route and just started putting up Soviet-style propaganda posters all over major American cities.

A good idea, they should have done this from the beginning, the website fail has been huge but Obama never really sold the whole thing.

Posters of what? Chiseled, angular, young men and women rendered in the Socialist Realist style, sitting at laptops buying health insurance? Will the motto be, "COMRADES, DO YOUR GREAT PATRIOTIC DUTY. BLUE CROSS PLANS START AT JUST $149 A MONTH! CALL NOW!"

Or maybe we could go the Maoist route and have cute, chubby children getting vaccinated, with the slogan, "LOYAL YOUNG AMERICANS THANK OUR GREAT HELMSWOMAN CHAIRMAN SEBELIUS FOR BRINGING HEALTHCARE TO THE PEOPLE"

Sigged. If I were Obama, I would definitely make this happen just to troll Republicans. He's not up for re-election anyways, might as well have some fun with the Presidency.

In some countries you could do that but not in the idiocracy.  I am not being hyperbolic.  There is one very well educated man at my work.  Advanced degrees like you wouldn't believe.  International lecturer.  Published researcher, you name it.  I was at work at one point and he quite casually told me a rather detailed Obama conspiracy theory.  I can't really repeat it because it was so specific and I don't want him to know I think he is ridiculous.  But sufficed to say that day made me very very worried about this country.  To us it's a joke but to him it was the gospel truth.  I couldn't believe someone that educated and respected could believe something so demonstrably untrue.

So America is an idiocracy because propaganda posters wouldn't work on its citizens?
