Geico, redux
I'm going to have to retract a little of my irritation with Geico.
Over the powerless weekend, I was using my battery powered radio as sole means of entertainment. I heard an ad that went something like this, regarding a mattress factory.
"No payments, no interest until 2017!"
My interest was piqued. I need a new mattress. Mine really hurts my back and shoulders. The ad continued about the wildly low mattress prices.
"How can we offer such low prices? Someone who shall remain nameless ordered way too much inventory! But now you can save money thanks to our incompetence!"
I grinned. Heh. I was about time they developed a sense of humor about these sorts of sales ads.
"But, I do have some good news," the boisterous announcer continued to boom. "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico."
I paused.
Huh?
Man, finally someone lampooning those stupid Geico ads. Wait, can they do that for commercial purposes?
As I began to scratch my head, the signature Geico music came up on the radio.
Fuck.
I'd been had!
Fine. Kudos, Geico. You got me.
