Worst. Show. Idea. Ever. Oh, I agree. I cannot stand those stupid "caveman" commercials. Worst marketing ploy ever in my book. Used to like the Geico stuff before this.

Are they talking about the "stoned age". That was the 60's I believe.

Here we go again. I expect there will be lawsuits against Geico. I expect that descendents of stone age people will start suing Geico for their insensitivity. Over at another site I frequent, we've been talking about the Caveman's Crib website, which most of us found to be pretty funny. But one woman found the whole Caveman thing (Geico commercials, the "crib", etc.) to be offensive.
I just don't get it.
