Default I won't ever buy Geico insurance

I won't ever buy Geico insurance as long as they keep portraying white men as sheepish dumb neanderthals.

So you'd rather buy from:
1) a perky blonde whos clothing and name reminds one of a tampon
2) a irate talking bird
3) a cartoon ninja with pink hair
4) gigantic disembodied appendages
5) an insurace that names an occupation of neither the company or the cliant.

Each is worse than the next. Atleast Gieco is clever.

Seriously. Lighten up.

And she always reminded me of Rachel Ray....not so much a feminine hygiene product.

And besides, shouldn't cave men have insurance? Fred's car would tip just by ordering ribs.

Yeah, I'm so insulted! We can be cultured and sophisticated too. What's the message supposed to be, that if even a white man can do it anyone can?

Not cool!

Ugh. Now that's what I'm going to be thinking about when I see those commercials. Just like when the iPad came out and the news story commented that "some people" said it sounded like Apple just invented a new feminine product.

I've heard bad things about Geico so check it out before you use them anyway. I don't pay any attention to commercials anyway so can't say who does what.

If we were picking insurance based on commercials, I'd go for State Farm with the State of Regret one...where the agent says "is your car up a pole again?" and he starts to cry...anyone know the one I'm talking about!

It's time we became activists and started voting with our money.
