TUPELO, Miss., - A conservative Mississippi website is objecting to a Geico ad for depicting "bestiality" in the form of showing a pig on a date with a woman.

One Million Moms, a website run by conservative Christian group American Family Association, said the Geico ad shows Maxwell the Geico pig parked in a car with a woman and "the girl appears to be turned on by the pig."

"She hints that she wants to make out. She is disappointed when she learns the tow truck is on the way and they won't be able to 'pass the time,'" the website said.

One Million Moms said the commercial is offensive because it "plays with the idea of bestiality."

The website called upon those offended by the ad to "let Geico know their new ad is irresponsible."

Brian the dog on “Family Guy” has sex with humans on a regular basis.

i thought it was starnge but then again most GEICO ads are.....bestiality??

[ibytoohi]

I thought it was silly, and she is definitely not guilty of anything.

[null and void]

I don’t see the problem.

All men are pigs.

[GBA]

Good. At least I'm not the only one who's offended.

It's time. Turn loose Armageddon. We've gone too far to be fixed.

[albie]

A pig!? No wonder they don’t get the purity of the religion of peace as customers! Change that animal into a goat and put a strapping young muzzie next to it...they’d clean up!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"the girl appears to be turned on by the pig."

Umm...a TALKING pig. How does that fit in with their fantasy world?

[Red Badger]

Geico’s ads have gone way downhill in recent months. Now they just plain suck..............

[dfwgator]

Arnold the Pig must be jealous.

I haven't had cable for a few years. What happened to the gecko? Oh wait, never mind... don't answer that!

[Tupelo]

American Family Association is like the NAACP and LaRaza and the ADL and the ACLU in that they are in a perpetual state of being offended by something.

[skinkinthegrass]

Ahhh! (culture of the) Marxist-Demoncratic Party revealed.

[GraceG]

I am far more worried about the Doritos Goat...

"Family Guy" is puerile filth. The Geico ad is pretty disgusting too.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I suppose Muslims would have a problem with a young girl getting felt up by a pig...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I see it as a play on the old saying "men are pigs."

And we are.

[Lancey Howard]

[wbill]

Just wow. They're worried about "bestiality" in a commercial that has a talking pig who surfs the web on his smart phone?

These folks have a problem separating TV from reality.

I'm not one to defend the current American entertainment industry, but sometimes its critics just need to take the stick from out of their butt and let a commercial be a commercial.

[Buckeye McFrog]

In the ad though the young woman is the sexual aggressor (which means it was focus-group tested for the Sandra Fluke customer base)

[paterfamilias]

Geico ads are inane.

Getting upset about them is moronic.

[Gerish]

I must admit the first time my husband and I saw it we were a little confused, as in are they really suggesting this girl wants to make out with a pig? Just a strange commercial overall, and I can see the groups objection to it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

[skinkinthegrass]

a TALKING pig...How does that fit in with their fantasy world?*mirthfully laughing*
good thing it wasn't a "talking animal" in a Muslim country...
...other comments withheld.

LOL My current favorite ad is for the VW Beetle.

The mayhem ads are far far better:

And they even show a (gasp) biblical scene....

Yeah...that's makes it even more sickening. As a society we seem to have no clue as to what's right and wrong anymore. Nothing's out of bounds because we have no boundry's anymore.

[WellyP]

The “PC” clowns making the complaint need to “get a live”. The woman plays the part wonderfully and the add is wonderfully funny, if a little off color.

[yarddog]

I know it is just a joke and not to be taken seriously.

I do recall being just a little bit uncomfortable seeing it tho. Maybe just a little over the line.

[Rebelbase]

"Really, you just had to post that?"

[Buckeye McFrog]

Not to mention the funny looks they give me at Game Stop when I walk in and ask if they have Fruit Ninjas

[who knows what evil?]

Just prepping us for the next step after 'gay marriage'... :-)

[fhayek]

All men are pigs.

As a man, I am offended by your statement. I prefer the term "swine".

[McGruff]

He probably told her he was a French model.

[Tijeras_Slim]

These ninnies would have a coronary if they saw “Howard the Duck”.

[RJS1950]

They also have ads with a woman making a pass at the Gecko, so what! Get over it, there are far more serious problems all around us than a dumb commercial.

[SaraJohnson]

And then you have the dumb liberal-tarian herd rushing to hell in a hand basket. : )

[skinkinthegrass]

LOL! ;-)
that's pretty good.

[WellyP]

I just love Jennifer Marsala!

[cripplecreek]

LOL that’s pretty funny.

[mikrofon]

SWEIN*

[bgill]

IOW, Team Jacob and Team Edward are ok but Team Maxwell is taboo.

[Safetgiver]

What happened to the gecko? ...Now don’t quote me, but I think he’s on a leash up the pig’s butt.

[null and void]

*shrug* why use a term with 5 letters when one with 3 will suffice?

Unless you are afraid someone will think you’re a cop, of course...

[Lazamataz]

Jeez. I mean, I’m conservative, but, ladies, CHILL.

[cripplecreek]

Somebody squealed.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

The one with the REALLY tall basketball player is kind of funny.

“Not in my house! Ha,ha,ha!”

[Ransomed]

Heck, just merrie melodies and looney tunes.
