You know that series of Geico commercials that spoofs other TV commercials? They often run them back to back to lull the viewer into a false sense that the last one was fake, so this one can't be - d'oh! It's fake too! Kinda brilliant, actually.
So last night I was watching TV with X and two Geico commercials came on. First was the fake Hair Club for Men (regrowing hair may help you get the girls, but it won't save you 15% on car insurance!) which was immediately followed by the fake Old Navy (new clothes are fun! but they won't save you 15% on car insurance!).
Right after that, though, came one of those commercials to help save the starving children in Africa. Extreme closeups of doe-eyed kids, trembling with hunger, exhortations that only $0.50 a day can save lives, etc. But all I could think about was how Geico should turn this into one of their gotcha! commercials. I can see it now: Saving a child from starvation sure feels good, but it won't save you 15% on car insurance!
X assures me that I am going straight to hell.
