GEICO's shameless attempt at making fun of Americans
Anyone ever think that GEICO's somewhat new mascot, Maxwell Pig might be a metaphor for the American population? Look at this commercial. It's a goddamn talking pig that is laying down comfortably next to a pool and his smartphone and the generous GEICO app on it takes care of everything for him so he can go back to "vacation mode" singing something incredibly simplistic, stupid, and annoying to a nice background beat.



A fucking talking pig! Just like all the fat, lazy, moronic Americans hopped up on fast food. I feel like this is really an "in your face" thing.

Don't buy it!!

I had Geico insurance for years, and then when I totaled my truck they dropped me like a hot potato and refused to pay a dime!

Seriously, I don't see how they get away with it. If I was rich I'd have sued their pants off!
sigh

Really?

I've had Geico for years and every time I've had a claim they settled quickly and fairly.

No, it's just marketing for a crappy insurance.

More than anything, it proves no matter how much makeup and lipstick you put on a pig, it's still a pig.

If they put half as much interest in providing quality insurance coverage as they do for making funny and glamorous commercials they might be better.

Remember the GEICO name is short for Government Employees Insurance Company.

To this day I still can't believe how legalized and mainstream insurance companies have become, the all originate from the time in the 1800's and early 1900's from organized crime families who's strong arm thugs would go from business to business to demand payment to insure nothing bad would happen as otherwise all kinds of bad things could occur to the unprotected business.

Take for example State Farm Insurance, the "founder" of the company was a man who became dissatisfied with "city" insurance company which he "sold" policies for and decided to use the membership list of the Illinois farm Bureau to obtain prospective buyers of his insurance (some accounts state he stole this list). What is more interesting is he succeeded in creating a successful startup company during a time when other businesses were going bankrupt in the middle of the great depression when there were no jobs and hardly enough money for men to feed their families yet this man manged to profit on the promise of protecting others properties. Of course prior to his startup of his insurance company, he was nothing more than a used car salesman who sold insurance on the side for a Chicago insurance company that was controlled by AL Capone.

After deciding to sell his own insurance policy for rural automotive owners, using his former bosses' rural collections route and the membership list from the farm Bureau he developed his new companies slogan "like a good neighbor, State Farm is there" which was a take off off of the words he often used to remind his "customers" that they needed protection against the possibility of bad neighbors.

Today's insurance companies are nothing more than legalized and even legally required, organized crime organizations. I never really paid much attention to the nature of insurance companies until I worked for one, the amount of immoral and shoddy business practices I personally witnessed was eye opening.

I just dropped Geico, too, for dragging me naked through the Tenth Circle of Hell when I filed a claim. Those bastards got me so mad that I build a whole site just to give people a place to tell their sides of their Geico ordeals.

Here's my story: [link to www.fuckedbygeico.com]

I'll never deal with those bastards at Geico again. Yeah, they were cheap, but you get what you pay for.

By the way, I switched to another company with a top-notch reputation among local body shops -- I mean, seriously, if anyone knows which insurance companies are decent, it's body shops -- and it wound up only costing me a few dollars more a month by the time the homeowners and umbrella policies were rolled in, and for much higher coverage limits.

So yeah.
