Australia is the continent where men are men and the sheep get nervous.
It is comes as no surprise that Geico would fire Ermy who was UNITED STATES MARINE where men are men and wherever the Marines be stationed from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli the sheep have no reason to be nervous.
GEICO = Government Employees Insurance Company. Owned by Berkshire Hathaway - aka Warren Buffett.
I and other motorists have hated GEICO for a long time, even before Obama. It’s not even a political thing, believe it or not. It’s because GEICO thinks it is funny to hand out free radar guns to the police and ‘request’ that the police run more speed enforcement exercises instead of pursuing actual serious criminals.
That’s very funny - I have not heard of GEICO here in Australia though. Sheep are only nervous at first - it’s the gum boots that scare them!

A few years back, the guy who did the Brit-accented voiceover for the Geico gecko was fired for making derogatory comments against the Tea Party movement.
The voice actor for the gecko is actually British, and the accent is from some part of London, according to an interview with Dennis Mille a few year back. He was talking to the guy behind the various geico ad campaigns. At the time, they had 3 or 4 successful ones going.
Damn right.
