Well, I did a search, and couldn't find the word "Safeco" anywhere, so it looks like this post will be the company's debut on CIH. Aren't you lucky? Ouch

Here we have a series of ads featuring an ugly old bat bitching to her henpecked husband about God knows what. I don't listen to them, because they get the instant MUTE.

Yeah I hate these, but I recognize the husband from Office Space.  He was one of the Bobs (the one on the right obviously, as John C McGinley plays the other Bob):

You forgot to use the secret search criteria, 3JWink, but, the other threads sit in 'Commercial Talk' section

Ouch Grrrrr... OK I guess the "Search" that's between "FAQ" & "Chat" at the top (not the Google search)  only works on which forum you're in, or if you go to the homepage it actually searches all the forums, like I thought it was supposed to. Someday I'll get it right.

WinkNo biggie...the *only* way I ever find things is if I search 'ALL FORUMS' and 'ANY DATE', then decide if I want to search by topic subject or content....

WTF is going on in these ads? Like I'm pretty sure I've figured out that we're supposed to hate this old bitty and relate to whatever bizarre thing she's trying to condemn like camping on a honeymoon or motorcycle riding. I hate this tactic in ads, it's as bad as using kids to make a "you're stupid if you don't do this" comparison. It's basically all "you live extreme, let's all laugh at how you're completely different from this retired old lady". Yawn.
It's ok, I'm in marketing!
