This ad is meant for 20’somethings who have never voted. It is not meant for shriveled humorless old farts who have not had sex for 8 years and are bitter and twisted. If a few shriveled humorless old farts get offended… Well that’s just icing on the cake. ---

I thought it was cute and Lena is adorable. My first time was with Jimmy Carter. I imagined he was lusting in his heart for me… ---

> [@LinusK](#): > > What a horrible video. You guys are right to pretend to outraged by it - even if it was originally only a YouTube video. I missed the “I’m Barack Obama and I endorse this ad.” Maybe you could get a sound editor guy to add that in. Why would they need to do that? All they have to do, apparently, is demand that Obama immediately and thoroughly denounce the ad, and failure to do so is admission that he endorses it. That’s what they did the last time they didn’t like an ad which was put together by an outside agency… ---

I’m mystified as to what’s so offensive about that ad. It’s not like it only vaguely alludes to voting until the very end then exposes its real subject matter is voting, not sex. You know it’s about voting all along. So what. People are really strange. ---

My first time was with Bill Clinton. I’m 100% certain that I’m nowhere near the only one. For either meaning of the double entendre… ---

Who could have suggested such an ad? Could it be…[Satan](http://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/minnesota-republican-official-lena-dunham-video-p)? And not to play the “[they do it toooo](http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/10/26/1097171/sexualizing-women-voters/)” card, more for your education.
