When I was much, much younger, and worked for a Mcfast-food place (I refuse to call it a Mcrestaurant.) I used to have nightmares that the food chased me down and attacked me. Trust me, you haven’t had a nightmare until it involves being smothered by a Filet O Fish sandwich.
Flashing forward many, many years, I rarely dream of the jewelry, or my laptop. I never dreamed about insurance. But I don’t have to! Modern marketing has turned product stalking into an acceptable means of advertising.
When will the creepy Geiko eyes go away? Am I the only person who finds it disturbing that a stack of money with eyeballs is following people?
Then there’s that whole crowd of Verizon folks that make up the “network”. Led by Chief “Can You Hear Me Now”. Of course, they don’t bother me so much, since I never remember my phone anyway. The Verizon network can frequently be seen filing their nails by my car, or gathered around my house waiting for me to come home. I wonder if they will do yard work.
The Barilla pasta guy – he always seems to turn up wherever the lady lives. Does he really live next door? I don’t care how cute the neighbor guy is, I don’t want him fortuitously showing up unannounced with what I need to finish dinner.
If I could, I’d smother the Geiko money.
Happy Birthday Dad!

I can’t wait until January when I can dump Geico and their horrible marketing department – the cavemen, the gecko, and now the creepy money!! I think they use the same marketing people as Quiznos – remember the guy breast feeding on a wolf? I didn’t eat there for two years!! Great Blog!! Glad I managed to skip fast food employment as a teen.
