GEICO Ad Accused of Promoting Bestiality

A woman, a pig, and one million angry moms who believe they set a terrible example for kids

Men are pigs, right? Well if you truly believe that, maybe you'll find a certain GEICO ad less offensive than One Million Moms does.

The conservative group is taking issue with a TV commercial that features a pig named "Maxwell" on a car date with a human lady friend. One Million Moms claims the ad promotes bestiality, or at least desensitizing impressionable youth to the idea.

In the ad, the couple are waiting for a tow truck when Maxwell's date laments that the two won't have time to fool around thanks to GEICO's extremely efficient roadside assistance.

"Oh, so that means we won't be stuck up here for hours, with nothing to do?" she inquires, to the too-cool-for-school dismissal of her advances by Maxwell.

Cute? Not to OMM:

"It was just a pretty sleazy type of commercial because the girl was really disappointed when she realized they wouldn't be able to pass the time alone together," said OMM director Monica Cole. "It may be over their heads in terms of understanding the meaning behind it, but there's a big concern when kids are being desensitized to this kind of thing."

Would these be the same one million moms who wanted J C Penny to fire Ellen because she is openly gay? I think there are really only about a dozen of them.

A few years ago Kathy Griffin ran afoul of Bill Donohue of "The Catholic League" over a comment she made at an awards show. Donohue got a lot of TV time with his outrage, and later on Griffin commented on that, something to the effect she didn't know what "The Catholic League" was but it turned out to be a guy with a computer.

Look, face it...Geico---just has some pretty dumb ads! I have always said that if they would just stop airing all of those stupid commercials they could probably lower the cost of auto insurance, for most people, by half!!!

@Sonny I don't really see any reason to get upset with Geico over a single ad. They consistently have the most juvenile, moronic, low appeal ads of any insurance company I know of. And they are nowhere near the cheapest.

Completely unrelated to this overreaction are these two stories that are "out of this world."

Some folks lack a sense of humor.
These OMM's better hope their sons never venture down to a strip club down in Tijuana!
The things those girls will do to a stack of quarters!
Personally, I like the pig on the plane,"when pigs fly," "did she just say that," commercial better.

When i first saw it, for a brief moment, I thought the same thing. After that I went back to just thinking of it as a funny commercial. I am a Conservative, I am a Geico customer. I have no intention of switching over a silly commercial.

I think if a talking pig with a cell phone turns up to take one of their kids out (especially if it's the pig's car and it is doing the driving) then the parent should forbid their child from going.

There are bigger issues than to be hollering about than a commercial. How about OMM pull their heads out of the cloud and protest all the rotten things going on in D.C. and the mass release of illegal aliens?! Just a thought!!

"Does the GEICO ad cross the line by promoting bestiality?" So without a doubt GEICO is promoting bestiality? In my opinion, this doesn't sound like they are promoting bestiality, only somebody with a bizarre mind would take the time to even think that! These pole questions need to be improved!

Here's a simple answer for moms when their daughter asks if it is okay to date a pig- "When pigs start speaking English and ask you out we will discuss it."Or they could just point out it is a stupid commercial.
Maybe these women are just Christians and figure if donkeys can speak why not pigs?

This is far less offensive than the commercial I saw last night with a man and woman sitting at the beach talking about getting drinks and the woman say “my husband is getting me one” and the man replies “so is mine”. The camera pans to 2 men at a bar nodding to the pair on the beach chairs. Disgusting. I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears.
