Early lessons for my daughter and son were how to change a tire, check the oil and water. Need specialists today.

My ex wife called me said she "thought she had a flat tire". I drove to where she was and she was calling one of those help outfits!

I just got back in my pickup and left her there. A few hours later she called and said they had no one to help her until the next day.

I changed the tire offered to teach her how and she did not want to know!

Divorce was not far down the road!!

When I see a commercial like this, I don't think so much directly about the content, but who the advertiser is targeting. With this commercial, I'll give you a hint, it isn't men.

Advertisers and agencies do a lot of research into the buyers of their products. I bet GEICO and/or their advertising agency has found out that, even in couple, women are more likely to make the decision about where to buy car insurance than men. So they came up with a commercial that stroke the ego of their potential female customers. That's all that's going on here.

You might be 100% correct in your analysis. However, Geico isn't my gripe, nor is their attempt to market a product/service. My gripe is the culture that exists and continues to be perpetuated (and is reflected in that ad) that advances efforts to destroy the male/father figure, and personal responsibility, in our culture.

The way imbeciles drive around here, sitting 50 feet away from my vehicle calling Geico just might be the safer option.

I had just about the same thoughts when first seeing this commercial. Can't stand it.
