The brightest minds in marketing have to keep busy, not seeing Flo is a nice surprise, that doesn't stop the hate though.

^^ It looks like it could be Suzi Barrett aka that Metamucil & Esurance girl:








Not sure though - you don't get a very long close up look of her face in this ridiculous ass commercial. Ron's right - the absence of Flo doesn't exactly help matters all that much.

I was just thinking that. But that one pic....that can't be her, can it? Lord, did she blow up if it is.

^^ The Metamucil one?  Looks like it's a picture taken of the commercial on a TV screen, so it's just the camera angle to the TV screen when it was taken and it makes it look like she's a little wider than normal.

Here's the commercial itself:

Let's be nice to Suzi - she's cool and the last white girl I remember being attracted to.

I like how she reflexively points to her wedding ring, like she and Flo-hand are a lesbian couple or something.

We don't see Flo but instead see a creepy-looking Flo on someone's hand. Progressive, it's gone on long enough. Get rid of her now.

Back after a long absence...still hating those commercials. Go away Limu Emu and Doug!

So thats what it looks like? Angry I HEARD the stupid ad last night from the kitchen (Nailed it!), heard the word Progressive" mentioned and wondered what mess of an ad did they create now. Progressive wants to make "nailed it" a hip term, maybe kids will imitate it, etc. - Sadly that might work.

But basically the woman using the computer has some kind of mental problem, split personality disorder. The husband should get her some help or divorce the whack job.

Another new commercial when I ask "How is this (bleepin') funny?!"

I want her to stay, for no other reason than they have that dickwad box in the wings to take her place. Do you really want more of THAT series of commercials?
