I’m always one interested in saving a couple of bucks when I can. I try to stay vigilant but with the constant stimuli of advertising it can be easy to just sort of switch off your receptors. However I got an email the other day from Geico; my auto insurance policy was coming up for ...
Television commercials touting the benefits of switching to Geico for your insurance needs are prevalent. Their current television commercials use the statement “It’s so easy even a caveman can use it.” Insurance companies seem to offer the same products on a slightly different price scale. Each state has its own liability requirements. I do not ...
My friend Jen said she refused to call an insurance company that had a gecko for its spokes- um, lizard. When GEICO insurance company came up with the cavemen ads, she still wasn’t impressed. Jen thinks the commercials are “cheesy”. And, only a “rinky dink” company would use such “low budget” advertising. Obviously, not everyone ...
If you own a T.V. you have probably seen the recent barrage of car insurance commercials. Three major companies are all competing for your car insurance dollars. State Farm Insurance has limited online resources, but promises you a local car insurance agent that will gleefully abandon his or her personal life to bring you donuts, ...
By now you’ve seen those famous neanderthals. The surly-looking bunch with protruding brows and mangy hairstyles combed into place with rocks.

Indistinguishable from their modern peers were it not for those ...

GEICO Auto Insurance devised a series of cavemen commercials. One commercial advertisement that aired in September 2006 contained no dialogue, but used music, advertisements and a twist on the cavemen stereotype within the advertisement to sell the product. Three cavemen commercials by GEICO aired in 2004, but after two years of cavemen absence, GEICO decided ...
In the wake of Rush Limbaugh’s disparaging Sandra Fluke’s character, over nine corporations have decided to pull their ads from Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. If we recall, Limbaugh commented on Sandra Fluke’s appearance before Congress to weigh in on the need for health insurers to cover contraceptives for women. Rush’s now infamous comment is as ...
So I blew a tire the other day. A Firestone tire; installed by trained, competent Firestone technicians. Backed by the iron-clad Firestone warranty. We drive on these Firestone tires enough; I’m not going to argue that point; but we’d just gotten an oil change very recently (within the last five hundred miles) and with that ...
