It is possible that Rush made them think of using that annoying pig.

Thank you for contacting GEICO.

Thank you for your reply; we welcome your feedback and encourage you to continue to let us know how we are doing.

In 2004 when Rush Limbaugh’s program also carried remarks that were inappropriate, we ceased all advertising on his show. We do not advertise there to this day.

On occasion, a local station may mistakenly run a GEICO ad in the wrong time slot. We are directing our ad buyers to make sure that does not happen.

We do appreciate hearing from you on this matter.

Sincerely,


Deborah Duncan
GEICO Internet Team

How to fight back at the local radio, with insights from a former radio person. As one of those, myself, I can vouch for the good ideas in it. I have personally personally witnessed how effective these strategies can be.

And here's a link to register a complaint to Armed Forces Radio:
