Alright, having ripped through the China-centric work that's had me tied up all week, a new entry is officially forthcoming. Not sure on exactly when, because it's gonna be big time, but it is back on.
Also, I really really fucking hate those Geiko commercials featuring that piece of shit money stack with eyeballs. I thought they were shit juice the first time I saw one, but the fact that they're so God damn prevalent - I just cannot for the life of me escape the little douche bag if I'm watching non-premium network television anymore - has turned my formerly extreme annoyance at the stupidity of it all into genuine hatred. Because the fact that they keep putting new ones out and blanketing ad space with them means that a whole lot of dumb mother fuckers out there are digging them and that the commercials are testing well. I can always deal with a stupid idea, so long as it falls flat, chokes on dust, and dies fast. But when they take on a life of their own and obviously have the support of the greater populace, that's when I lose my shit. You just know there's housewives and shit out there thinking (or even saying amongst each other) "ooh, that little money stack is just so adorable! what a cute ad campaign!"
I initially thought the catchiness of "Somebody's Watching Me" clip that has become its theme song was the one redeeming quality of the commercials, but now I fucking loathe that song as much as if it was set to Hitler and Stalin sucking each other off on an imax screen that I was forced to watch with my eyes taped open.
The Cavemen sucked, but this shit is ridiculous. Fuck you, Geiko, you tasteless assholes.
The Caveman was/is far worse. I'd argue that gecko's probably more annoying as well. Geico just shouldn't be allowed to advertise.
ReplyDeleteThe lizard is easily the least annoying. I was an avid Caveman hater as you well know, but at least there was some kind of concept and story to them, however annoyingly it was executed. This is just bottom-of-the-barrel, scrape-the muucus-off-a-dead-cow's-brain drivel. No thought at all was put into it and yet they're running with it like they're down by 2 points in the last minute of the Super Bowl. Its acceptance in inexcusable.
