“Make of it what you will...”
I can’t make anything of it. They call it “corporatese.” I call it gobletygook. They want to distance themselves from Beck, because they’re afraid of anti-Beckers, without saying Beck is politically incorrect. So they fall back on this idea that they’re impartial and can’t be pulled into the fray. As if anyone mistook them for being part of the debate.
First of all, advertising during an opinion show is not taking a stand on controversial issues. No one assumes GEICO believes whatever Beck says. Some might chastize them for materially supporting someone with incorrect views, but that’s another matter. They did not say they can’t support Beck because he’s a hate monger and out of line with mainstream American culture. They said they can’t fall on any particular side of a controversial issue. Nonsense.
Secondly, I’m sure they advertise during other opinion shows. How much you wanna bet they’ve bought time on O’Reilly, Hannity, Olberman, Dobbs, etc.?
If you have a military history, I would strongly recommend USAA.
Isn’t this the company that ran the anti-caveman commercials?
yeah,, right.
Just a thought:
Every of those slimy little scumball lizard commercials, includes a Geico-paid 800 number you can call.
So. Call.
Then complain, quite clearly.
I’m thinking I might do that every time I see one of those stupid commercials.
:)
I strongly second that strong recommendation - USAA is excellent.
