PLEASE CHANGE THEM!!
-
it's a play on words . . . conservativecave, caveman . . . :uhsure:
-
It's the default avatar for new members. They have to go in and change them.
-
People can change their own avatar if they want. If you don't want to see them use the ignore feature.
-
OK, in all seriousness, if you want your AV changed, just PM me. I will take care of it for you. I thought it was a funny play on words, but perhaps I was wrong.
-
Funny, in a sense. I don't see the problem. People can change them at their leisure. Some don't, perhaps because they're lazy, apathetic, or just see no need for an avatar.
-
I thought the avatars were so easy to change that even a cav..... Oh never mind.

Huh... I was totally off the mark on that one. I figured it was a push to get people to have avatars, and you picked the ugliest one possible to get people to change them.

If that were his motive you'd see a lot of Hillary avitars.

Now there is an idea!
The GEICO caveman commercial is probably the most annoying one in ad history.

I think it is perfect -- but we can set this up for complainers

You haven't seen the Jack in the Box crying businessmen commercials? Or any and all Carl's Jr commercials?

Nope.

The baby throwing up at the end of an E-trade commercial is repulsive.

Yeah, that one's taken the lead as "most annoying". I HATE that commercial!!! I either mute or change the channel when it comes on. The GEICO commercial just keep getting more and more stupid.
Here's one that's been edited ;)

Damn. That is extremely annoying.
But Jack does make some good tacos.

You guys REALLY wouldn't like what else was being contemplated for the default avatar. :-)
-
I have to agree, the roast duck with mango salsa is just ok.

But it's OFFEEEEENSSIIIVE!!

Well played sir -- well played.

Geico's being annoying?
That's the whole point of commercials! The more they piss you off, the more you remember them!
The most retarded of these is the Geico gecko narking on the David Attenborough wannabe, saying that the impersonator gives the gecko the "heebie-jeebies."
Jeezus. When was the last time THAT phrase was used? Heebie-jeebies? WTF?
:thatsright: Silly me. Halloween is right around the corner.

Same here.........
Last time I checked with GEICO, they wanted almost double of what I was currently paying.
And as for Jack in the Box, their new commercial irritates me so much that I REFUSE to do business with them.

Me,too. I won't be going to JITB until at least 3 weeks have gone by with no sign of those awful commercials.

I like the gecko....can't stand the caveman.
I did get Geico car insurance though about 2 years ago. I had just had an accident...I hydroplaned during a bad storm and slid into the car in front of me and she slid into the one if front of her. Fortunately I wasn't even going 20 mph. ( I was on my way to the doctor's for stress... :rotf:) I didn't get a ticket, but my insurance had to pay for all 3 cars.
Needless to say....my car insurance jumped. I called Geico, they were less for more coverage even though I had had the accident just 3 months prior. Every 6 months since they have lowered my rate. It's down almost $30 per month from where I started with them....and I drive a 2006 Nissan SUV.

Then you are the statistical exception. Marketing data have shown, and proved, that the more irritating a commercial is, the more sales go up.
Sorta like Obamessiah. The more people worship him/hate him, the more money comes into the coffers.
Go figure. :thatsright:
Uh...on the other hand, local commercials are generally so bad that they blow the roof off of "irritating." Dunno how Bobby's Meat Market sales are workin'.......

I absolutely HATE it when the cable or satellite company turns up the volume on their local ad insertion equipment !!! As a past headend tech, I KNOW that that crap can be easily adjusted.

The NFL network does that all the time!

Oh, thank God. I was wondering why there seemed to be a lot of caveman avatars. I thought I was missing out on a great joke.
And I am eating Jack in the Box right now, the one commercials I hate is Carl Jr's. I know it is for young men in their 20's (eat some gross looking hamburger with some skanky girl) but they really are disgusting. I do want to punch the Most Important Meal of the Day guy in the face, he is such an asshole.

And I am eating Jack in the Box
Um, never mind. :censored:
