TV Commercial Review: Geico

I guess some people like the Geico commercials, but to me there are among the worst collections of ads I can remember.

The cavemen are rude and surly. Definitely not behavior you would want your children to follow as they mature into hopefully responsible, productive adults. It started when the "agent" apologized in the restaurant and was treated to a sneer, and has deteriorated from there.

Yuck.

The gecko is just stupid.

And hiring desperate entertainers to makes fools of themselves beside perfectly competent customers is an idea I still haven't figured out.

Whatever - I just grab the remote and change channels as fast as I can before I get a stomach ache.
