Attention Fred Flintstone and the Geico cave guys: "Stone Age" is no longer acceptable, joining the list of other words and terms deemed offensive in polite society.

[JB in Whitefish]

One of the few decent modern day rock bands.

My Mother the Car. That's close.

It's time to enter the stone-em age.

Survival International, a London-based activist group that supports tribal rights...Oh brother ..I can imagine the crew in that activist group....
Ray Bradbury was right ,,Eventually no one will be able to say say anything and all books will be burned .

Worst. Show. Idea. Ever.

Oh, I agree. I cannot stand those stupid "caveman" commercials. Worst marketing ploy ever in my book. Used to like the Geico stuff before this.

[mc5cents]

Are they talking about the "stoned age". That was the 60's I believe.

[Elsie]

We prefer to be called troglodytes.

To Rehab withn you!!

Using the T-word is not done in 'polite' society!

And that IS what we are trying to achieve!

[Elsie]

Happier?

Maybe, just as long as you indicate we DO have stones!

Philolithic has a nice ring to it...

[Elsie]

I wonder what they think of the Primitive Baptist Church?

Is this the outfit that has those strange services, where some members handle... rocks?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

You're a John Edwards, major league.

[Elsie]

Any photos from "When Woman Had Tails"?

I can see the t-shirt now.........

 

 

 

 

   Got tail?

Here we go again. I expect there will be lawsuits against Geico. I expect that descendents of stone age people will start suing Geico for their insensitivity.

Over at another site I frequent, we've been talking about the Caveman's Crib website, which most of us found to be pretty funny. But one woman found the whole Caveman thing (Geico commercials, the "crib", etc.) to be offensive.

I just don't get it.
