so many major actors have a cheesy commercial in their past that Leno or whoever can dredge up for LOLs that i feel like anyone that blames ads for stifling their career is just scapegoating.

The trick is to have a heavily stylized/made-up commercial persona. Verizon guy can still audition without his glasses. Progressive Flo's career advanced without the bump-it. And depite the fact that Stephanie Courtney's stand-up comedy has, shall I say, a limited audience appeal.

That screed borders on spiteful fanfic. Just, wow. I mean I can't stand her but I feel grateful that things haven't spiraled out of control so badly for me that I'm imagining what she wears when she gets off work. The only thing this is missing is the phrase "dirty pillows". Jesus christ these fucking nutjobs, seriously.

"One imagines her outside of work prowling after-hours night clubs in inner cities, stomping around in high-heeled black boots that lace up to her ruddy knees, a torn heavy metal t-shirt revealing a milky shoulder blade and eyeliner that makes her look heavily bruised.

fwiw, the Buffett Foundation has been sponsoring a contraception awareness campaign in Iowa and a few other states ("Avoid the Stork"). So some Geico money is going to decent places, too.

a couple of months ago my brother was telling me an amusing anecdote about his 7th grade math tutor, and after his story was over he casually says, as just an afterthought, "and a couple months after she left the school I recognize her as the lady in those progressive commercials," at which point I flip out and yell "FLO!?!??! Your teacher was Flo???"

what made it classic was that, prior to that twist at the end, the story he told couldn't have been any more of a 6/10, things you tell your brother in traffic kind of anecdote

I dream about Flo every night. I think about her during the day. I can imagine nailing all her holes. I want to cornhole her so hard that her eyes pop out. I also want Flo to sit on my face so I can work tongue magic on her progressive pussy. God, I hope she is a screamer! I want to make Flo eat the Geico lizzard! A good commercial would be Flo pleasuring herself with the Geico lizzard and talking dirty!
