It’s no secret that Lena Dunham is a polarizing figure, arguably the most polarizing figure since fish tacos. (Seriously people, tacos were meant to contain MEAT, not FISH!!!) But is she Satan? Possibly! Well, according to a Republican party official from Minnesota anyway.
Here’s the reasoning: last night the Obama campaign released the web ad embedded below featuring the Girls star and creator. It’s titled “My First Time” and the whole thing is a mildly cutesy double entendre intended to appeal to young women. But to ultra-conservatives, this sort of thing is THE WORK OF THE DEVIL 666 SATAN SERPENTS !!! That’s what led to Kelly Fenton, the deputy chairman of the Minnesota Republican party, tweeting last night that the ad is proof that Obama is working with Satan to win this election.
So is Lena Dunham Satan? Well, yes, obviously DUH!

How the fuck does she get so much press…why do I even ask this question any more. It’s clear that celebrity women are ALL Satan.
She’s doing Satan’s work, at a minimum: She’s trying to convince 22-year-old girls that being ugly and stupid is the path to success.
Girls is the fucking worst. My girlfriend thinks it’s the most hilarious show on earth and she has a sense of humor like a fucking dick. Fuck you, Lena Dunham, fuck you.
Your girlfriend’s a luck gal.
*lucky.
goddammit!
Seriously, this is what people should be angry about. That ad was fairly innocuous, but Girls is just an abortion of a show. (Heyo, keepin’ it political!)
See this is why I’m voting Romney. He’ll Roe v Wade a state issue, then we start labeling shows like Girls, Real Housewifes, and Whitney as abortions.
This is how we make these shows illegal and then Louie, Sons, The Wire, and Homeland become the standard.
ITS TIME TO RAISE THE BAR PEOPLE!!!
So this is what an the offspring of an Apple commercial and a political ad would look like.
You win. Or you would if my opinion mattered. Which is does.
Christ, now I have to come down on Lena Dunham’s side on something? Fuck you GOP, fuck you right in the ear.
My thoughts exactly.
I believe they’re saving that for Season 2.
What I don’t get is why it’s okay for them to read “oh my stars, she’s talking about DA SECKS” into this ad, but when you point out the picture of Obama with a bone through his nose might be slightly offensive I get called a racist. Life has stopped making sense to me.
I have watched two episodes of her show and it wasn’t for me. It has been hyped, over-hyped, too harshly criticized and over-praised. So I ignored it.
But now? I love her.
Thank you internet.
I heard that when tacos were first invented/made they were traditionally made with fish.
YOU SHUT UP!!!!!
Fish meat is practically a vegetable.
I think the real issue here is: how do we feel about vegetarian tamalés?
Do shellfish tacos count as fish or meat or neither?
Yeah, and when they invented the wheel, it still had corners. We’ve evolved beyond those dark ages.
What’s wrong with fish tacos? What are you anti-Lesbian now?
Saw someone railing about this last night and thought they were just making shit up again. But no, it’s reality. And it’s kinda lame. Didn’t we almost throw a president out of office for getting a beej from a chubby intern? What are they gonna do to one that’s stealing virginity. FOX IS IN THE HENHOUSE TO REPORT!
Didn’t watch the ad, but now I assume that voting for Obama is uncomfortable and humiliating and has a soundtrack by Best Coast.
Well, the soundtrack is new, but otherwise everything’s the same.
Led Zeppelin IV…side one
The lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice.
Isn’t this great!
Dear Republicans,
Please grow up and stop acting like a bunch dorks at summer bible camp. Religion and morality are for assholes.
Yours et cetera,
Somebody Who Will Never Vote for You
I was with you until you said morality was for assholes.
Rape isn’t cool bro. RAPE is for assholes.
I need to think before I speak.
Never is a long time. Someday you’ll have a job, or someone who you care about, and you might feel differently. In the meantime, signing off as Somebody Who Will Never Vote for You doesn’t exactly make you someone the partisans care about reaching.
Dear Pants,
Since you will never vote for us we don’t care what you think (unless you have lots of money.
Signed,
GOP
Old Fat Bald Chick Magnet is speaking truth. If you categorically say you will never vote for them, why would they give even the most remote of fucks what you think? Contrast to if you say something like, I really like their economic policy but they are retarded when it comes to social progression, fix that up and I might consider changing my vote.
Basing morality solely on your religion and forcing it on others is for assholes, but how is morality by itself bad?
Bigger question: How are the Democrats from Minnesota so smart (Klobuchar, Franken, Ellison, Walz) while all the Republicans from Minnesota (Bachmann, Paulson, Quist, Pawlenty) are all so BATSHIT INSANE?
Somehow, the answer to this question is Jesse Ventura.
Fish tacos are the best. Author obviously never been to California or else is a maroon.
I’m obviously a “maroon.”
Born and raised in California. Fish tacos are the worst. Spread the gospel, Cajun Boy.
Fish tacos are fucking awesome fast food in Mexico…. where they were invented, dickheads!
On a wild tangent, I still can’t over the impact that Bugs Bunny has had on society. WB inserted the use of “maroon” because MORON was considered offensive. Now it’s part of our societal nomenclature. Rabbits can actually become ill from eating too many carrots (they prefer to eat the leaves of the plant above the ground), but idiots having been shoving carrots into real rabbits faces for decades… because of a fucking cartoon!
Fish tacos are ok but once you compare them to proper tacos its over Johnny. “Fish can’t stand against Beef son”.
I plan to vote for Obama in the back of my family’s station wagon after the prom.
The worst part is that is an exact rip off of Putin’s ad from Russia. But at least the Russian’s have a hot girl in the part:
[youtu.be]
Looking forward to that next Obama ad where he is flyfishing shirtless like Putin. That should convince all the voters.
Somehow having Russian political figures in a deck of tarot cards seems highly appropriate. “Safe as houses.”
So the Dems have Lena and the Reps have Jeff. The Dunhamization of our political process is now complete. I’ll be…um…”inspecting” the inside of my oven if anyone calls….
Jeff Dunham is a republican? Just when I thought I couldn’t have a lower opinion of him, there it comes.
Wait, how does nepotism fit into Obama’s campaign?
I love that Lena Dunham is famous because somebody in Hollywood went “we need Diablo Cody to be uglier”.
I think that somebody in Hollywood is the true Satan.
It’s ass-hattery like this that makes me glad to be Canadian, where our biggest debate is typically “Crazy carpet vs. Wooden Toboggan”
“Salt and vinegar” vs “sour cream and onion”.
Manitoba vs. Saskatchewan: the Great Canadian Bore-off
Megan Follows in Anne of Green Gables or Sarah Polley in Road to Avonlea: Who’s Canada’s real sweetheart?
On a related note: Caitlin or Spike?
The biggest debate in Canada is Tim Horton’s vs. Starbucks.
/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………..
I like fish tacos but find Lena Dunham annoying.
You’re either for the fish tacos or against Lena Dunham, Carruth. Wait…
If you think voting and sex are in any way similar you are doing one of them wrong.
In both situations you end up screwed!
… I’ll show myself out.
I give up…I promise to vote for Obama. Just please make Lena Dunham stop talking about sex.
Is my cousin going to vote with me now?
Voting for Romney because fuck the haters, that’s why.
My real issue is that it’s simple plagiarism. Ronald Wilson Reagan (6+6+6) used the line first in 1980. He also never went to Israel, like Obama never did.
These people spend so much time reinventing the past I’m surprised no one at CBS has greenlit a “Leave It To Beaver” remake.
shhh they’ll hear you!
So…if we vote for Obama…..we”ll KNOW we got f*cked..?
Is that a necklace she is wearing or is it her dolls bra? Is would look much cooler if it was made of a bunch of colored ‘Reeses Pieces’, more in line with the theme of the election. You now, Rainbows and all.
I disagree with apparently all of you, in that I like Lena Dunham, and even find her cute since she got this new haircut of hers. And I’ve never had a fish taco, but I bet I’d like it. So, take that.
That doesn’t make you anything but delusional, my friend
Whoever does this sort of thing here, please ban JJJ immediately.
I think she’s cute too, actually. And I think the amount of vile sexism directed at her for her supposed ‘ugliness’ (or any other reason) is infuriating. It just makes it all the more clear how misogynystic the standard American male still is, because here we have a young, brash, activist girl with very clear opinions who wants to help change gender stereotypes for the better and push a women’s rights agenda, also with her show (OH NO NEPOTISM), and 90% of the backlash focuses on her weight/appearance.
Get over your fucking selves, she may have had the luck to come from the right family and have the right connections to get into this career, but she has already clearly proven her talent and wit far beyond expectations in one short year. Back the fuck down.

@Gauli: You know who’s really to blame? Sarah Jessica Parker. She convinced somebody at HBO that ugly, annoying women with nothing to say could become noteworthy, and now we have to hear from this chick.
Lena is a average looking woman, she is by no means ugly. That said, celebrities (even quasi-celebrities) should not be doing political commercials.
I’ve never really understood this rationale. Why not?
