This company makes me sick. My father has been dead for two months now and they are still trying to collect $22 on an account that was cancelled 6 months ago. Every time they ask for something I provide it and then they ask for something else.

Do yourself a favor, unless you want your family harrased after you pass away, don’t bother with this company.

Gee! I can relate to the add…. I see idiots like that on the road! What’s wong with speaking the truth once in a while??? Actually spealing the truth should be ‘always’ not once in a while! People are so use to hearing lies that they think it’s the truth! Sorry, I see women putting make-up on while driving on the highway, talking on their cell phone which is permanently glued to their face changing lanes without shoulder checking first (Oh, sorry, you are unable to do that because you have 1 hand holding your cell phone to your face and the other on the steering wheel)! Duh! And yes, I am a women, but my cell phone is turned off when I’m driving, and I do not apply my make-up while driving either because I do that at home! Eating is another issue with drivers! Now, let’s go to men who thinks they know how to drive! Cell phones glued to their face also, cuts you off on the highway, then gives us the finger because they almost caused an accident!

We all have faults while driving. So suck it up buttercup, admit to your faults, correct them, pay more attention when you drive, get off the d… cell phone, don’t eat while driving either and maybe, just maybe there would not be that many accidents!

Read your driver’s book again! Learn what a 4 way stop is, what a yellow or red flashing light means…. a lot of you don’t know this.

Grow up! Stop lying to yourself and make changes!

Nobody drives like the caricature, therefore nobody gets a discount.

I think it’s unfair that so many people are raggin on the actress. I thought the commercial was funny the first few times, but you ninnies seem to have missed the point – the character played by Karen Parker was a caricature – “a caricature is a description of a person using exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of others.” That was the point – you don’t drive like the caricature, so why pay like you do?

As Larynxa pointed out – sometimes you don’t have a choice in the jobs you do when you have to pay the rent. And although it’s easy to sit on your royal high horse and proclaim you’d never do such a thing – what commercials have you done lately?

I gotta hand it to her – she’s as sick and tired as anyone else of these commercials – as would anyone having them shoved down their throat as frequently as they have been. According to the article in the Hamilton Spectator, she “…recently finished a stint on the Second City Mainstage where (she) co -wrote and performed three shows…won one Canadian Comedy Award, was Dora nominated and [is] currently up for four Canadian Comedy Awards this year…And all people know me as is ‘the bitch in the commercial.’ Gotta love show business.”

They have a new one that I’ve seen once. I wonder who paid for the use of the vehicles? Surely they didn’t con the actors into providing their own cars again this time.

I wonder what would have happened if the bobble-headed actor’s auto that they used would have gotten in an accident. You can bet that there’s got to be a clause in a policy for a private auto that disallows coverage when it’s used as a commercial vehicle.
