Advertising Ruse

Aussie and I got an envelope in the mail today with STATEMENT ENCLOSED stamped on it, so Aussie opened it to discover that it was from GEICO, a company we do not do business with. On the top of the letter above the fold was printed: "Please review your summary statement". Aussie being curious as to how we could have a bill from GEICO opened the letter out to read the following:

STATEMENT: At GEICO, we will strive to give you an outstanding
customer service experience. We will support you online and by
phone and help you...


The Statement continued for several lines, then was signed Ted Ward who is of course the Vice President.

Add this ruse to the fact that I hate that lizard with his fakey accent which IS NOT AT ALL Australian, we will never ever buy anything whatsoever from GEICO.

I think the lizard sounds like Michael Caine. I hate the lizard, and Geico, but I have to admit those caveman commercials are pretty funny!
