GEICO commercials

What's wrong with that?

Makes good business sense at least.

I also find the free caveman ones funny

I can see it.... Cops get free detectors, thus catching speeders who might be part of GIECO (with their mass marketing I'm sure they have a good share at least in the area they gave them away) thus when they catch the customers their insurance goes through the ceiling.

They spend a ton of money advertising in MA, yet they don't even offer insurance in this state. Odd.

[Tashtego]

Nope, the reason why drugs are so high is because they spent billions of dollars trying to create the drug and they only have about 17 years I believe to return on their investment. If the patent was longer, the prices could be reduced but the gov. doesn't really care. The reason why it is cheap in Canada is because the Gov. put a ceiling on prices in Canada. It just goes back that the U.S. gov. doesn't really care.

US citizens end up paying more so that Canadians and other non-freemarket drug economies can have artificially low prices. Patent duration changes would probably require many new international agreements to be forged. I think it is safe to discuss economics?!!

Umm, the drug companies don't HAVE to sell to non-free markets, do they? I don't buy that they aren't still making money in Canada and such.

Either way, I really don't see how showing people dancing in the lillies @ $100,000 for 45 seconds is going to make me ask my doctor if herputin is right for me, but if I got a Giant Canker on my Wanker, I'll be asking him for the best thing he knows of not suggesting something I saw on TV.

I got a quote from them that was more than I pay now. Why switch?:ROTF:

That reminds of a great song by an australian band called the Fireballs called Broccolli Cock.

Free Radar Guns to cops is great, getting pulled over for speeding is what's stupid. What's wrong with doing the posted speed limit?

As for the Caveman ads, I saw a shirt somewhere that had a caveman dragging off a chick with her legs in the air with the caption saying "So easy a Caveman can do me" :ROTF:

Take that. Ron. I found it. I just don't know to place this response in the new thread.:ROTF:

[Argos]

Regardless, Geico's marketing strategy is amazing. Their ad department is full of genius.

Fett, you need some pussy!

I don't like cats.

[Cygnus X1]

I kind of like the biker radio ads. That's where I picked up the "fuzzy bunny" reference a while ago, nobody caught it. Or they did, and didn't comment about it.

"So there, fuzzy bunny".

Speaking of outrageous marketing, we get at least three Capitol One mailings a week.

[OnlineStageGear]

Geico is cheaper but there is a reason. They fight tooth and nail to not have to pay even very legitimate claims.

Can we get one of the cavemen eat that fuckin Lizard ??

I sold/serviced personal lines insurance in an independent agency for 8 years....Geico's ads are brilliant IMO. Few ads makes me smile or laugh like their ads. Who would have thought a product as dry and boring as insurance could have such creative/funny advertising?
