Speaking exclusively to ABC News, Adriana, who asked that only her first name be used, said she was speaking out now to defend herself after weeks of enduring online lampooning. "They have nothing else to do but hide behind the computer. They're cyberbullying," Adriana told ABC News' Amy Robach. President Bill Clinton Weighs in on Obamacare "I'm here to stand up for myself and defend myself and let people know the truth," she said. On Oct. 1, 2013, when the ACA's website launched to enroll Americans in health insurance through federally run exchanges, it was Adriana's face that greeted them. Dubbed the "enigmatic Mona Lisa of health care," her face was soon mocked, Photoshoped, altered. She became the subject of late-night jokes, partisan hatred and intense speculation. The saga of the photo started innocuously enough. Seeking free family photographs, Adriana emailed a contact at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for the Affordable Care Act's rollout, about having photos of her and her family taken in exchange for allowing the photos to be used to market the new health care law. She was never paid. She learned over the summer that her photo would be on healthcare.gov's main page, but she didn't realize it would become so closely associated with the problems of the glitchy website. "I mean, I don't know why people should hate me because it's just a photo. I didn't design the website. I didn't make it fail, so I don't think they should have any reasons to hate me," Adriana told ABC News.[/quote] [url]http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/exclusive-obamacares-mystery-woman-victim-cyberbullies/story?id=20868617&singlePage=true[/url] Poor Stock photo models. I don't see how people can hate her though.
I believe the stock statement used by people who do this is 'I did it for the lulz/evulz.' That doesn't make it any less reprehensible though.
she doesn't want to be the hero obamacare deserves? It's a shitty situation when you only wanted free pictures and in return your payment is the horde of anti-obama care and photoshop armed internet masses.
Wait wait wait. Why do people hate her?
[QUOTE=foarks;42851086]Wait wait wait. Why do people hate her?[/QUOTE] nice avatar. On topic, they just hate her because her face was used as a stock photo to represent the new health care law.
