Default OT: The Geico Gecko

I've noticed in recent commercials that the Gecko has a driver's license. How did he take his road test? In a toy car on a Hot Wheels track?

Let's just say that traffic in Los Angeles, California has to be experienced to be belived. Brings a whole new meaning to "Road Rage".

I meant the gecko thing. Even here on the other side of the planet we've heard just how bad traffic in LA is.

Geico is a insurance company running a series of commercials, starring a gecko, usually good for a quick laugh, but they are played on TV, about a dozen or so times during Prime Time.

Still haven't figured out where the gecko carries the wallet and the cell....

IN one of his very first commercials, he was driving around in a gecko sized red roadster

Leg,

Geico ads are usually amusing (we get a lot of American TV), this is a funny one:

According to a friend of mine working on her physics degree he keeps them in a trans dimensional pocket.

Then again once you get to the level of physics she studies things start getting really strange.

My brother asked me after that commercial started airing if I was insulted by that commercial since I am mentally ill. I personally think it's funny as hell -- I laugh out loud every time it's played!
