GEICO Offends One Million Moms With Pig On A Date Commercial

The insurance company giant GEICO has used a gecko and a pig to promote its business, but its latest commercial has the advocacy group One Million Moms claiming the ad is not cute. The ad, the group claims, is offensive and promotes bestiality.

GEICO’s newest mascot is Maxwell, a talking pig who is the latest target of One Million Moms, a conservative organization that its website says targets the “trash in today’s media” that is aimed at children.

The organization is just a website create by the American Family Association - IE: Humor like this does not fit into their conservative fundamentalist christian world view.

The commercial wasn't really funny, but lets not pretend it is offensive because a known hate (http://tinyurl.com/6kkpr76) group doesn't like it.

Commercial was lame. If this group thinks it promotes bestiality, their minds are in the gutter to begin with. It's a dumb commercial but it's no worse than the women taking advantage of the talking M&M.

As for the "smartEuro" guy above, it's funny he has a comment. European commercials are far worse and risque.

only by redefining "hate" to be what the Southern Poverty Law Center says it would like it to mean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center).

Three cheers for One Million Moms. The ad denigrates men in general and technically saavy ones in particular.

Funny.

Moms should learn their daughters are nastier than they could imagine.
