Do you have a current deluge of car insurance advertising in your state?

In Southern California, it appears that one out of four commercials are for car insurance companies. For months.

I'm just saying, it's odd that they have so very much money to spend upon advertising, if they are giving you the absolute best possible rates.

2. I'm so sick of that stupid Progressive ad campaign

I could scream. Between the sterile hostility of the set and the banality of the characters, they make me want to hit a dive bar to get back to normal.

"Sterile hostility" - - good one! I'm not a fan of those ads either, but you put it brilliantly.

it's sickening!

We just downgraded our insurance through our agent, and he said a LOT (his emphasis) of people were downgrading or going without insurance altogether. He said it's getting pretty bad. :shrug:
