They are recent college grads - 'nuff said.

I don't know what the deal is. However, with every comercial they make, I feel less incline to have Geico as my Auto Insurance Agency. From the lizard, then "I have great news," So easy a Caveman can do it!, and now they're using the Flintsones, Clampets, and Cabage Patch Kids. I'm seeing a slope of dumber and dumber.

They got you talking about them.....which is the ultimate point.

Yes! I was just mentioning to a friend the other day how stupid some of these commercials are. I can't believe people even come up with some of those ideas, and worse yet, I can't believe any of the powers that be approve and pay for them! Then again, I don't really watch commercials anyway. In this case, the TV was on in the background and I happened to notice and think they were ridiculous.

I don't watch TV as a rule. I do watch DVDs of movies that interest me, but I am also running out of good movies. Hell, I am running out of good porn for that matter! My own life - and sex life - are vastly more interesting than what TV offers up.

We all remember those really funny or really odd commercials, and more importantly, we remember what company is being advertised. Hell, I still remember an E-trade super bowl commercial from like four years ago, because it was so funny.

The golden rule of marketing is that advertising (discounting stuff obviously aimed at kids like toy commercials and such) is aimed at "adults" with a 7th grade education level - no higher. Seriously - this is what they teach in college marketing classes.

well speaking of commercials- i go cheap- yet my friend lost her cat to the chinese fiasco. my dog wont eat dollar store dog food- so i guess it is people food or bust. really it is so bad- a buddy of mine "reported" me. my hunch is that my dog is too smart to eat teh tainted food.

"people food" is definitly not the way to go. It is really bad for your dog. I do not care how cheap you like to go normally, but if you take on the responsibility for another being, you have to inform yourself of the needs you are facing, not just going for the cheapest stuff available. Many people have good expiriences with raw food diets for dogs, and you can do that relatively cheap, so maybe that would be something you should look into.

I saw an old commercial on youtube the other day for Winston cigarettes that used the Flintstones. http://youtube.com/watch?v=OZtfcN2j7r0 They weren't aiming at the kids here at all were they? lol
