Not sure how I feel about these. I know they're meant to appeal to the younger folks, but they seem a little dumbed down to me. See them all here:

You are apparently not the only one who thought they looked like a parody...

If not for the STD disclaimer, I would swear it was a half-assed attempt at slut-shaming.

The ad has been met with criticism from both sides of the aisle. In fact, Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado, a group that promotes pro-choice & pro-family planning policies, actually thought the ad was a parody created by opponents of Obamacare:
Unfortunate that anti-obamacare folks are #slutshaming #women who use #birthcontrol #GotInsurance #ThanksObamacare

I'm all in favor of anything that works when it comes to getting young people on-board with the ACA, and if this over-the-top take on its benefits works, then GREAT! If it happens to cause a good deal of consternation and gnashing of teeth among teabaggers, BONUS!
