Teaching Piggies to Row

[Castaway]

A friend sent me a link to this cute Geico advert (they do lots of cute ones!) involving guinea pigs. Enjoy!

I see that all the time here. I have mixed feelings about it, unreasonable mixed feelings, it's just an advertisement for insurance fergoshsakes, why should I feel anything?. I just cringe, though, when I see the FAKE guinea pigs sitting up rowing and calling "row". I think of how it would hurt for real ones to do that. Then, I think it is so cute that the man comes into the room to sit down and the guinea pigs all look over to him to see if it is time to begin rowing, and that makes me laugh.

That same company's mascot is a gecko and I have the same unreasonable mixed feelings about those commercials. I absolutely ADORE the gecko and love the "adverts" but when he is walking down the middle white stripe of a bridge in New York City, for example, I cringe thinking of how he could get hurt or get his tail run over or something. IT'S JUST AN ADVERTISEMENT fergoshsakes!!

Row. Row. Row. Row.
