Dear Geico,
I am holding your mascot hostage.
Do not attempt to locate me or else the little guy gets it.
And by ‘it’ I mean ‘a pebble tied around his neck’.
My sole ransom request is that you lower the rates of Jeremy & Katie Bower (who are complete strangers to me). I have never met them in my entire life.
But I hear that they have ridiculously high rates.
Also, please fire the Cavemen and the Kash.
I don’t understand how the prehistoric men make people want to purchase car insurance. The correlation is ridiculous. You should fire the moron who came up with the advertisement. The commercials are only interesting when they include a hot girl with a nice rack eating some kinda greasy fast food. Stick to that formula and you will be fine. Maybe even make the hot girl gecko-like.
Another thing: a pair of googly eyes on a stack of money is a stupid concept. Why are the people just staring at the money? Are they living in a country that isn’t in recession? Why don’t they just snatch that money up and rip the eyes off Mike Tyson style? Do you know how much bacon a stack of cash could buy? Yeah. That’s right. Somebody’s watching me….as I eat the local Piggly Wiggly clean outta pork.
In real life, the Gecko would roundhouse kick the Cavemen and Kash. He is english afterall.
Sincerely – KB (let me repeat – this is not Katie Bower…because that would be moronic especially since you have all my information including but not limited to my social security number, my banking info, my blood type and my vimeo password as well as my husband’s fingerprints in the photos above).

This may be the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
“Somebody’s watching me”
Carrie says
Ahhh what a cute little critter!!!! I can’t believe it is so tiny..
And I agree, the cavemen annoy the crapola out of me. They are kind of scary and gross. Great photos!!
Katie says
Bwahahaha!!! I totally agree about the caveman and kash commercials (though I do like the song in the kash ones). I have to say I love that little gecko though. And I say that sheepishly since I work for a different insurance company. Our commercials kinda blow too.

Cute lizard! Where di you find him? How did you get him to stay on your finger while you snapped a photo?!
Gretchen says
Your posts continue to crack me up…I love it!
Sherry @ Young House Love says
You bet somebody’s watching you. I am. Right now. Outside your window. Not that window, the one in the kitchen. Boring into you with my big googly eyes.
Nah, I wish. Sadness.
xo,

Funny!
The cavemen commercials are so dumb! The one you mentioned with the motorcycles and the pretty women? Ya, like that would happen… In my world, ALL women would be screaming and running away like they do on Friday the 13th.
I love the gecko in his little red sports car.
Shannon says
hehe your so funny. while I agree with your judgement of these moronic commercials, at least they aren’t making me cry like State Farm’s do. State Farm commericals always have a sick child or a lost puppy or something else heart-wrenching with “The Sun’ll Come Out Tomorrow” playing in the background. Ugghh.

I so agree! The gecko is a great idea but the others are really lame. I think everyone should hire the PR firms that handle Budweiser and M&M’s because they always have good ads.
Oonafey says
I want him. You should send him to me. Adorable!!
Sarah says
What a cute little guy. I almost want him as a pet.
Karen says
This little guy is so cute!! I really have to say something about Geico though! Although the cavemen and the somebody’s watching me commercials are really annoying, Geico’s claims service is really exceptional! And no, I dont work for them! But on Friday I was rear ended (im ok, it was just a big bump) by a guy who has Geico. I called them to file a claim on my way home after the accident. They called the guy to confirm the details. Geico called me back before I was even home saying that they will cover the repairs and they could set me up with an express repair shop that has a lifetime warrantee on their repairs and Geico would have a rental car waiting for me on Monday morning. So I went, got my rental car and my car should be ready by Wednesay. If I didnt already have Geico, I would totally switch! They are really great.

Aw…a tiny green anole! I used to have two as pets. They’re awfully friendly.
