A commercial I hate

Geico has a new ad that features a middle-aged woman sitting on a piano with music icon Burt Bacharach. She’s telling a story about getting hit by a car driver who had Geico insurance. He’s singing and repeating her words. He looks Joe Cockerish, retarded (no offense), and all bent up. It’s bad. With the royalty checks he’s raking in, surely he doesn’t need the money. It’s sad. Geico: Stick with the free-pie-and-chips gecko.

I agree,Em.I have a lot of time on my hands lately so I've seen this ridiculous commercial and the others alike.I'd rather see the lizard.

Since I've had all this "free" time I've seen so much 'crap' TV.


I'm so tired of the Mel Gibson drunk stories.

Just kill me now!

What, they have two others in the same vein--one of some older guy who has Charo doing his "excitement" and one of some woman, who has Lil' Richard doing hers. I love the Lil' Richard one....

Mashed potatoes, gravvvvvy, and craaaaanberrrries.

I love the Charo one; she's delightfully over the top!
