TUPELO, Miss., - A conservative Mississippi website is objecting to a Geico ad for depicting "bestiality" in the form of showing a pig on a date with a woman.

One Million Moms, a website run by conservative Christian group American Family Association, said the Geico ad shows Maxwell the Geico pig parked in a car with a woman and "the girl appears to be turned on by the pig."

"She hints that she wants to make out. She is disappointed when she learns the tow truck is on the way and they won't be able to 'pass the time,'" the website said.

One Million Moms said the commercial is offensive because it "plays with the idea of bestiality."

The website called upon those offended by the ad to "let Geico know their new ad is irresponsible."

Geico ads are inane.

Getting upset about them is moronic.

I must admit the first time my husband and I saw it we were a little confused, as in are they really suggesting this girl wants to make out with a pig? Just a strange commercial overall, and I can see the groups objection to it.

a TALKING pig...How does that fit in with their fantasy world?*mirthfully laughing*
good thing it wasn't a "talking animal" in a Muslim country...

Geico’s ads have gone way downhill in recent months. Now they just plain suck..............

The mayhem ads are far far better:

And they even show a (gasp) biblical scene....

In the ad though the young woman is the sexual aggressor (which means it was focus-group tested for the Sandra Fluke customer base)

Yeah...that's makes it even more sickening. As a society we seem to have no clue as to what's right and wrong anymore. Nothing's out of bounds because we have no boundry's anymore.

The “PC” clowns making the complaint need to “get a live”. The woman plays the part wonderfully and the add is wonderfully funny, if a little off color.

I know it is just a joke and not to be taken seriously.

I do recall being just a little bit uncomfortable seeing it tho. Maybe just a little over the line.

[Rebelbase]

"Really, you just had to post that?"

Not to mention the funny looks they give me at Game Stop when I walk in and ask if they have Fruit Ninjas

[who knows what evil?]

One Million Moms said the commercial is offensive because it "plays with the idea of bestiality."

Just prepping us for the next step after 'gay marriage'... :-)

All men are pigs.

As a man, I am offended by your statement. I prefer the term "swine".

[McGruff]

He probably told her he was a French model.

[Tijeras_Slim]

These ninnies would have a coronary if they saw “Howard the Duck”.

[RJS1950]

They also have ads with a woman making a pass at the Gecko, so what! Get over it, there are far more serious problems all around us than a dumb commercial.

[SaraJohnson]

And then you have the dumb liberal-tarian herd rushing to hell in a hand basket. : )

[skinkinthegrass]

LOL! ;-)
that's pretty good.
