How many are old enough to know what GEICO stood for? (G)overnment (E)mployees (I)nsurance (CO)mpany. If I remember right, they first tried to sell me insurance in 1959 when I became a clerk in the U.S. Post Office.
:laughing:

Or how about Fedmart started by Sol Price for government employees only which became Price Club which became Costco!

And when I got a membership in the first Sam's Club in Dallas, membership was only open to government and utility company employees.

Joined price club when living in San Diego... I almost went broke saving money! The TV and radio ads I hate most beside all the insurance ads are the ones for HARP... My two homes are paid for so I hate the back to back ads for refinaning home loans.

The drug ads are not likely to ever get me to buy their drugs, but I do sometimes get a laugh at them when they run through their list of possible "side effects" that sound much worse than the problem they're intended to cure.

Side effects may include headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and upset stomach. For a drug that cures..................................upset stomach!!!!

Personally I likes the ad a few years ago for the restless leg syndrome medication that has a side effect of compulsive gambling.

Like most of you.....hate the commercials......especially at election time. When all the initiative folks and politicians start throwing the mud.......I just turn the TV off....can't stand it!

Why do we have ad's to encourage people to sign up for food stamps? Excuse me, the EBT card nowadays.
