I can pretty much
guarantee you that the Dunnevant family won’t be doing this over Christmas. I
mean, we will definitely be sporting pajamas at some point, but none of us will
be caught dead wearing onesies. Chances are also rather high that hot chocolate
will be consumed. However, at no point in the proceedings will we lapse into a
full throated discussion about purchasing health insurance, despite this latest
encouragement from the good people over at Organizing for America.
Sometimes I think the Obamacare
people are deliberately trying to sabotage their own plan. How else can one
explain this nerdy millennial? Who could possibly have thought that this look
would have encouraged anything other than howls of mocking laughter and
derision? There he sits, wearing footy pajamas in his twenties, that “I’m soooo
much smarter than any of you”, self-satisfied ironic grin on his face. When
first seeing this ad, Chris Christie tweeted a picture of himself at a soup
kitchen with the hilarious line, “get out of your pj’s, put on an apron and #GetVolunteering.”
Poor kid. Overnight he
has become the symbol of what happens when you kick all the grownups out of the
room and let the kids handle marketing. Here’s the thing, when you grow up
being taught to hate capitalism, when your dream job is either with a
non-profit think tank or working for government, you wind up being part of a
generation who has forgotten how to…sell. Note to the hipsters over at Organizing
For America, Pajama-Boy ain’t it.
