Hello folks:

What do you think of the Progressive Commercial with the flirty lady? Kind of weird? Pathetic?

Flirty lady?
I thought it was a public service announcement for the drug Dramamine.
(1.) Symptoms of airsickness... Nausea like when you hear her talk.)

I wonder how many cats she has at home? 12? 24? hmmm...

What about the one where she gets the guy really excited, and says "you didn't have to get so excited." Totally classless.

:shock: Didn’t know commercials made you guys so testy! Well, when I get out of college, and if I get a decent enough job in marketing and whatnot, and if I work my way up through the corporate ladder, and I get to the position of being able to make commercials, ill try to remember to make my commercials classy!:wink:

I make commercials now.
It's pretty easy to make crappy ones.
The trick is to really hit the nail on the head, which in the advertising field, can be difficult to do.

I don't know when the last time I actually saw a commercial on TV was. Don't know where folks find time to watch the black box.

Since I manage an Autobody facility I see both of those commercials and I yell at th TV as I know how they really rip off their insureds and cheat shops. Both are cut rate insurance companies that Suck along with their mascots!

Wow, I haven't seen this level of disgust since hearing the response to Pelosi's last speech. People we love to hate..

Well, I would call their commercials a success! All of you remember it and got you talking about it!

And by the way, her name is "Flo"

You know, there is something oddly attractive about her, maybe its the wild hooker makeup, I just can't pin it.
