“Blue Balled” the Video

Edgy, hip and cool are words that describe the latest attempt of Democrats to gain more votes come November.  “Blue Balled” is a four-minute video circulating the Web and is gaining popularity every day.  Here is the run-down:  Hot girl comes on to cute but clumsy guy at a bar.  They go back to his place to have sex, but hot girl discovers that cute, clumsy guy is a <gasp!> Republican and bolts.  Visibly upset, hot girl drops her purse outside cute, clumsy guy’s apartment, but is rescued by edgy, cool, hip Democrat man <hooray!>. 

 

 

 

The lesson here, kids?  Democrats are good at everything.  Or is it that Democrats are slutty? 

 

Whatever the case, this video is probably getting more hits than its female character did in her promiscuous life.  I’m not being a hater.  While hooking up in the cab on the way to his place, hot girl calls cute, clumsy guy the wrong name.  Nice.  And after discovering the horrifying Republican news, as she’s hi-tailing out the door, hot girl actually says, “Just like the last one.”  Maybe the lesson is that if you want to get laid, break out your ‘I heart Obama’ lapel pin. 

 

According to ABC News, this video and the people behind it further affirmed that the internet is a “central character” in the election.  And the folks at truththrouthaction.org are planning more entertainment on topics like Iraq, the economy, taxes and healthcare.  The group brilliantly uses the internet to get its message out.  News shows are debating the video, young voters think it’s funny and are forwarding it to their friends, and even those who find it ridiculous are discussing it (ahem, moi). 

 

Young Republicans are reaching out to young voters via the internet as well, but apparently in less edgy, hip and cool ways.  Sex definitely sells. I just didn’t think it could buy votes.  Maybe this won’t convince people to vote for Obama, but it’s another feather in the cap of trendy politics, and the internet is once again the conveyor of the message.  And it has people talking about Obama.  That’s the point, isn’t it?  He personally had nothing to do with the video, so he’s not promoting one-night-stands, but it sure is clever. 

 

I’ve never had a one-night-stand, but I do agree with slutty girl on one point:  It’s better to sleep with people who belong to the same political party you do.  No one wants to go to bed angry at their partner every night.  So kudos to slutty girl for holding on to what may be the very last of her principles.  And kudos to the Democrats for an edgy, cool and hip video.  I’m sure those traits will come in handy when the next president is dealing with terrorist threats and open borders.
