re: #45 Semper Fi

May I express a little rant in honor of this open thread? I’ll try to be cool about it.

I don’t know why the Liberty Mutual tv commercials make me so angry with them. Maybe its just that the Southwest seems to be deluged many times per hour and that repetitious interruption is so bothersome. Maybe. However, to my mind it’s their commercial misuse of the Statue of Liberty that has so much historical meaning to me. I’m not an immigrant but its not difficult for me to imagine what place she holds in the minds of millions who are.

It is so bad that I immediately switch channels when a LM commercial starts…and that is several times per day.

Thank you.

Rant off

For nearly the first dozen of those commercials, the woman always got into a wreck, but the man in the commercial was the one hit. That finally changed with the couple where the woman goes “Until one of us-” and the guy hangs his head.

It’s very similar to my observation that there were about four years from that one dating site with the older man (I can’t think of the sites name, it’s not match.com) where only the man would speak in the commercials.

Edit: EHarmony is the site’s name. Only the guy spoke. It was creepy.
