At least with "Snakes on a Plane" you know what you are getting. There is no mystery. Theres a plane, and some snakes. Simple, yet still crap.
As for the Geico Gecko, I want to strangle that #@%&er. I am English, living in new jersey and that commercial has spawned me a new nickname. i am now affectionately known at work as Geico! Theres only so many times you can say "It's like pie and chips, for free!" and people still find it funny. Damn Gecko. Why does an English accent sell car insurance? Does it sound more trustworthy? Is there a gecko in England with an american accent selling car insurance saying things like "Its like burger and fries, for free!".
I have no freaking clue what it is about the English accent. Hartford, CT has a new "branding" campaign going. For those who don't live around here, Hartford has a reputation as well, a hole. What's their branding? Hiring a man and a woman with an English accent to do voiceovers for their content-free commercials. Because, you know, English accents will fix that joint right up. No block grants needed.
I thougth of Jared the second I saw this title, and the hatred for him displayed warms my cold, cold heart. |
