A new ad slamming Obamacare will air during NBC’s long-running comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live, says YG Network, a conservative advocacy group.
YG Network is calling its ad “The Sell” and portrays an advertising team trying desperately to find way to sell the “really unpopular” law to the American people. “We’re supposed to sell this junk?” one character laments.
The piece ends with the team exultant that no matter what they do they’ll get millions of taxpayer dollars to fund their work. A voice over at the end tells viewers to “Tell President Obama to stop the sell. We’re not buying it.”
The ad campaign features the Twitter hashtag, #stopthesell.
YG Network says its ad will also air during NBC’s Meet the Press and several prime-time programs such as America’s Got Talent.
In part, these ads are in response to the big ad push that Obama has initiated, too. Obama is spending billions of our tax dollars to push Obamacare. Of course, this all raises the question: if Obamacare is so great, why is Obama still spending billions of our tax dollars to sell it to us?
