if you don’t have the perception that insurance companies are satans children then their kool-aid worked on you.

i recently saw that geico has swindled the numa numa guy into reenacting his famous dance – only this time it is to the new campaign song somebody’s watching me with the little gecko lizard in the back dancing. oh yeah, and that little wad of cash with eye balls in the back as well. discreet yet obvious. here is the video below:

now on with the (expected) rant:

imho this is a poor attempt by geico to engage in the digital audience. if they were paying attention, the numa numa guy lost credibility as soon as he launched his viral campaign be the next numa numa guy – which should have been better framed as be the next fat guy in front of a computer waving your arms. the reason that video was viral was because it wasn’t supposed to be viral. it was raw and fun. shit i watched it like 30 times. my mom even sent it to me.

so once this dude found out that everyone in the world, literally, thought his video was funny he decided to launch more with capitalization in mind. it is like that dorky kid brother that makes one funny joke out of 100 so he continues to use it to a painful extent. to the point you start to loath his essence. so geico probably called him up and said hey do you mind acting like an asshole again? we will give you that stack of sweaty cash in the background? – f a i l

WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID GEICO

in march of 2004 i was in a car accident. i was hit by a drunk driver who was so hammered she gave me her info 3 times – i called the cops since she was a ball of death about to get back in her car. she was insured by our good friends at geico. it took me 6 weeks for geico to finally admit fault even though the woman was slapped with a DUI and blew a .11 and the accident report clearly showed fault with multiple witnesses. it was a no brainier. geicos argument?

sir, even though she was arrested for a DUI we are still trying to evalaute the level of fault on our clients side. there is a difference between being somewhat drunk and really drunk and even though most people would be too drunk to drive at .11 every person’s chemistry is different

i swear to all that is good and decent this is what the adjuster said to me. and this is after i bitched my way up the hierarchy to like 2nd in command (which i highly suggest in every situation of customer service). so i asked the guy if she would have hit and killed a family of five would this be how you would have handled this? – his response well, that didn’t happen sir and you seem to fine. – my car wasn’t. it was fucked. i have worked with multiple insurance companies and geico to date is by far the worst.

i guess i saw this numa numa thing and it just pissed me off on so many levels that i had to vent. i want to climb through my screen grab that wad of cash and stuff it down that lizards throat til it’s chokes out it’s last clever british line. *not to mention i am true believer that lizards run the elite corporations and the song choice is referring to the all seeing eye. they know they own us, they are just trying to make it fun for us i guess.

* i imagine this just discredited my post.
