Why must you always search out my posts to disagree with them...can't you just sit back and say "You know what, I never thought why a Gekko would have an English accent and also sell insurance in AMERICA....maybe Lyle is right and Geico's marketing strategy is complete shit"....why use an English accent to sell AT&T laptop connect cards? Why use one to sell anything other than products FROM ENGLAND and even then why use them to sell products IN AMERICA?
How about because it works?
I dont think any of the ad reps who came up with the Gieco commercials talk with a thick cockney accent
They probably all talk like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho
My point on the Blue Collar Tour(which I find funny)Larry The Cable Guy doesnt really talk like that at all,he really doesnt have an accent,he affects a Southern accent for his "character"
But try saying Gett'R Done without a southern accent,it just sounds stupid
But I dont get all bent about F-the South
Take pills or something,its just an accent
