Angry moms condemn Geico’s cellphone app commercial they claim promotes bestiality
The conservative Christian group, One Million Moms, says the commercial is ‘horrible’ for families. The ad features Maxwell the Geico pig and a flirty woman in a parked car.



Angry parents are up in arms over a “repulsive” cellphone app commercial that they say promotes bestiality.

One Million Moms wants auto insurance firm Geico to pull its latest TV campaign in which a woman appears to be flirting with a pig.

The conservative Christian group that monitors children’s programming issued a statement to condemn the clip.

1. Dirty filthy minded moms...

[bluestate10]

57. One has to wonder what they are imagining. I've seen the commercial, not once did sex

come to mind for me.

[Warpy]

2. I don't particularly like that ad

but it's more because I went out with too many arrogant and emotionally oblivious pigs back in the good old days.

[Bay Boy]

52. Do you know why men can't get mad cow disease?

Because men are pigs.

[get the red out]

3. I don't know

Maybe the young lady in the car wants a BLT?

[Sissyk]

67. okay

There went my sweet tea all over my ipad!

LMAO!

[Cleita]

4. But is Maxwell really a pig? I always thought he was a human teenage boy depicted as

a pig since many of them are at that age. I guess they should have shown a girl pig instead of a human one though.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

50. That's what I get from it too.

[valerief]

5. Damn, I don't know about anyone else, but I can hardly control myself.

[Dpm12]

it's a goddamn commercial meant to be funny. Yes, she was wanting to pork the pig (pun intended), but it is a commerical.

[LWolf]

55. Exactly.

[Taverner]

7. Yeah that commercial sure made me want some interspecies copulation....

[Liberal Veteran]

10. Thank (insert choice of deity here)! I thought it was it was just me.

[JHB]

18. Hey, Beavis, he said "insert" huh. Huhuh huhuh. N/t

[FSogol]

8. Would they be more upset to know that pigs have a cork-screw shaped penis?

[Fawke Em]

12. Then maybe the girl should have been depicted as a bottle of wine.

[FSogol]

21. Once you go porcine, you don't go back!

[krispos42]

76. Google image search

Ah..., ewwww..., and

[riqster]

90. How do pigs deal if their partner has a left-hand thread?

(A very old hardware joke.)

[abbeyco]

9. Only the One Million Moms would think about getting it on with a pig

in relation to this commercial. My guess is they get all tingly over the thought of pig-boy limbaugh and he's about as porcine as it gets.

[Gemini Cat]

74. LOL!

Indeed!!!

11. "One Million Moms" is an offshoot of the AFA...

The viciously anti-gay hate group "American Family Association."

AFA created One Million Moms and One Million Dads, two websites with the stated goal of mobilizing parents to "stop the exploitation of children" by the media. It uses these websites to organize boycotts and urge activists to send emails to mainstream companies employing advertising, selling products, or advertising on television shows they find offensive.[86] In 2012, the group started and then backed off from a failed campaign against the hiring of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson for department store chain JC Penney.[87] They opposed her employment on the grounds that DeGeneres is "an open homosexual".[88] At a taping of her show, DeGeneres informed her audience of the fizzled effort: "They wanted to get me fired and I am proud and happy to say JC Penney stuck by their decision to make me their spokesperson."[89]

The One Million Moms expressed opposition to Marvel and DC Comics issues which featured gay characters. They described the story lines as a "brainwashing and desensitizing experience" for children, written to "influence them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable."[90]

On December 6, 2012, One Million Moms released a statement on their website, again objecting to JC Penney's use of Ellen DeGeneres as spokesperson in a Christmas-themed commercial, saying, "Since April, JC Penney's has not aired Ellen DeGeneres in one of their commercials until now. A new JCP ad features Ellen and three elves. JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again."[91]

(snip)

Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), in a 2005 report, stated that the AFA, along with other groups, engaged in hate speech to "help drive the religious right's anti-gay crusade."[121] Mark Potok of the SPLC determined that the turning point was 2003's Lawrence v. Texas, in which the Supreme Court struck down Texas's anti-sodomy laws. After that, the Christian right spent millions on advertisements,[121] and on pastor briefings organized by activists such as born-again Christian David Lane.[122] Lane helped AFA put constitutional opposite-sex marriage amendments on the ballots of 13 states.[121]

In November 2010, the SPLC changed their listing of AFA from a group that used hate speech to the more serious one of being designated a hate group.[123][124][125][126][127][128] Potok said that the AFA's "propagation of known falsehoods and demonizing propaganda" was the basis for the change.[129][130]

The AFA was greatly displeased with the designation as a hate group,[131] calling the list "slanderous".[132] In response to the SPLC's announcement, some members of the Christian right "called on Congress to cut off their funding."[133] J. Matt Barber of The Washington Times said that the SPLC was "marginalizing" themselves by giving the AFA the same hate group designation shared by the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis.[134] Tony Perkins, the president of Family Research Council (FRC) – an organization also named a hate group – asked the SPLC to strike the new designation, but they held their position.[135] Ken Williams commented that in reaction, the FRC and the AFA joined with other "pro-family" organizations targeted by the SPLC to establish a new website, an online petition[136] called "Start Debating/Stop Hating" to counter the SPLC,[137] and they took out full page ads in two Washington D.C. newspapers, defending their work "to protect and promote natural marriage and the family."[138] The advertisement stated the "undersigned stand in solidarity" with the organizations designated as hate groups, and that they "support the vigorous but responsible exercise of the First Amendment rights of free speech and religious liberty that are the birthright of all Americans."[137] House Speaker-Designate John Boehner and the governors of Louisiana, Minnesota and Virginia were among those signing the statement.[138] The SPLC addressed the new website statement; Potok was quoted by David Weigel of Slate magazine as saying, "the SPLC's listings of these groups is based on their propagation of known falsehoods – claims about LGBT people that have been thoroughly discredited by scientific authorities – and repeated, groundless name-calling."[139] The American Independent News Network (AINN) noted that the AFA had recently denounced Supreme Court justice Elena Kagan as a lesbian unfit for office – AINN stated that "she's not" a lesbian – and that Fischer said Hitler's savage and brutal methods were only possible because he and most of his stormtroopers were gay.[140] Jillian Rayfield of Talking Points Memo noted the irony in the website calling the SPLC a "radical Left" group "spreading hateful rhetoric" yet elsewhere declaring that the debates of the Christian right "can and must remain civil – but they must never be suppressed through personal assaults that aim only to malign an opponent's character."[132]

[notadmblnd]

13. IT"S NOT EVEN A REAL PIG!

Only a filthy mined group of Christians could connect a pig puppet doing a commercial about car insurance to having sex with animals.

[FSogol]

15. Love it!

[winter is coming]

20. Animal sex toys is even worse.

:evilgin:

[Warren DeMontague]

36. Some people spend all day looking for stuff to be outraged over.

Its like fishin'... Some days the catch is good, some days you gotta make do with crawdads and old boots.

[llmart]

48. Didn't Jerry Falwell....

claim that the purple Teletubbie represented gay people?

[notadmblnd]

58. According to Jerry Falwell,Tinkie Winkie was gay because he carried a purse

and was therefore a moral menace to our youth.

[tblue37]

66. And that Bert and Ernie were gay lovers. nt

[EastKYLiberal]

14. Well, when an animal can talk... it is capable of giving consent.

So what's the problem?

[woodsprite]

17. I have one thing to say to them -- GET A LIFE!!!

It's a freakin' pig, and apparently it's nothing they haven't thought of already.

[Ian David]

19. GEICO donates heavily to Republicans. LET them boycott. n/t

[Wait Wut]

22. Thank you.

The headline gave me a headache, but left the door open for hilarity and depravity thanks to our sickminded DUers.

I'm never going to see that commercial the same way again and will forever picture that young lady as a bottle of wine.

[SwissTony]

23. Hasn't One Million Moms got like 50 members? (n/t)

[Scootaloo]

29. Conservatives aren't real good at math

"One, two, more-than-two, a million!"

[Major Nikon]

43. I'd be surprised if it's that many

[Tom Ripley]

24. Hell, many of them laid the groundwork for their marriages by flirting with a pig.

[one_voice]

25. What kind of person..

even goes down this road?

[Liberal Veteran]

38. Probably the same ones that are terrified life will evolve from peanut butter.

And that bananas are proof "intelligent design".

[name not needed]

65. People still feeling guilty about that one time in the barn.

[msanthrope]

69. The same assholes who think that same-sex marriage leads to bestiality....nt

[Zoeisright]

26. Those "moms" need more to worry about.

They have too much spare time getting their panties in a twist about non existent problems. Fucking losers.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. What weirdly filthy minds those people must have.

It's an ad for car insurance featuring a CGI pig, FFS. Not even a real pig. How can you have such a twisted mind that you see that ad and think about actually having sex with a real pig?

[undeterred]

53. Well said.

[LadyHawkAZ]

28. File under One Million Moms Who Need To Get One Million Lifes n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

31. Someone actually counted when they were having a fit over the "sexy plumbers" ad.

It's around 15k moms, tops.

[Matariki]

33. Yeah, 40k actually. If that.

They should stop using that name. It's a lie.

[Matariki]

30. This is really funny.

I guess the backlash from their campaign against JC Penny's for hiring Ellen unhinged them completely.

Thanks for the chuckle.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. I know. People mad about sex on tv are pretty damn funny.

Not to mention, predictable.

[Enrique]

32. the Bible says thou shalt not lie down with beast

nowhere does it say thou shalt not flirt with beast.

[Liberal Veteran]

37. Well, it does have stuff about taking his number which I think is a no-no.

And it is an "unclean" beast (unless you are a Gentile or something). But still, if you don't take his number, you won't be able to buy and sell anything.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

77. does the Bible say anything about animated pigs?

[DJ13]

35. Any commercial that uses Fruit Ninja in it is the mark if the Devil

[Solly Mack]

39. Slow week? Membership drive?

Bored? Just needed something to rally against?

[struggle4progress]

88. +

[aikoaiko]

40. LOL

This OP brightened my day.

[onenote]

41. If they didn't like that one, I can only imagine what they think of this one.

Actual physical intimacy between animal and human:

[Bay Boy]

56. I wanted to say something funny about your video

but it's just too sweet.

[pipi_k]

42. OK I have to admit

that I find that commercial to be a little bit creepy.

But not to the point where I'm going to freak out about it inducing people to commit bestiality.

And really...how come they're not going crazy over the other Geico commercial where the Gecko is the Best Man at a wedding and the Maid of Honor is flirting with him...

[deutsey]

92. Same here

I did think her flirtation with a pig was weird, but then I moved on and didn't give it another thought until I saw this OP.

The Million Moran Moms really need to find more productive uses of their time. The whole world is in economic turmoil and the global climate is beginning to convulse and they're in a tizzy about a stupid commercial?

[TroglodyteScholar]

44. Seriously?

Don't you idiots have some soon-to-be-idiot children to raise? Or is this the only kind of thing you take seriously in life?

[edbermac]

45. My favorite comment describing the OMM on the Daily News message board.

BRAUGGI26 minutes ago
Actually this group is made up of two eighty year old virgins and a fax machine.

[BeeBee]

46. When I first read this, I thought it was satire. It's getting hard to tell it apart. n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

47. The ad is bizarre

There is just no way around it.

The "One Million Moms" however, are vile, homophobic pieces of shit.

[xfundy]

49. The biblical outrage they're missing:

Talking animals are obviously the work of SATAN! Unless they happen to be donkeys and snakes, which star in th' bibble.

[undeterred]

54. Isn't there something extra bad about hooved animals too....?

[Gorp]

51. That pig makes one UGLY gecko.

[darkangel218]

59. Actually, i thought this commercial was weird too.

I don't know if it implies bestiality, but its definitely odd.

[Fire Walk With Me]

60. What they're telling the entire world is that this ad brings bestiality to THEIR minds.

[dflprincess]

61. And don't get them started about Kermit and Miss Piggy

another cross species pairing.

[name not needed]

62. It's a talking pig driving a car.

Fucking hell, did these people think Animal Farm was non-fiction?

[Motown_Johnny]

63. How do they feel about "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"?

[gollygee]

64. ROFL

Glad to end the day with a laugh.

[Adsos Letter]

68. Ya know, I've seen that ad several times now...

...and never once did bestiality come to mind.

I do remember thinking Maxwell was an idiot for being so dense...

They're selling auto insurance fer cryin' out loud.

[Initech]

70. New rule: One Million Moms needs to understand what a cartoon is.

The American Family Asses: the no irony crowd.

[quaker bill]

71. I like the one they run around "Portlandia".

[Gemini Cat]

72. It's a dumb-ass commercial, but it hardly promotes bestiality.

These dumb-ass 'moms' on the other hand, I'm not sure what they're promoting.

[ryan_cats]

73. Huh????????

I'm a Christian and it made me laugh. I didn't think of bestiality when I saw it and since I never think about it anyways, I'm offended they're bringing this up. I have Geico and they are a great company.

Is there actually a group more repulsive than the Westboro whackjobs?

[krispos42]

75. If the pig is sentient, then it's not bestiality...

... because there are no beasts there.

I guess they would be a consenting inter-species couple.


Brings up an interesting concept.

[Volaris]

78. How is it Gieco's problem

if Maxwell the Talking Pig reminds them a bit too much of thier Republican husbands for their liking?

[GObamaGO]

79. Makes me wonder what the One Million Moms think of furries.

[nadinbrzezinski]

81. Snort

[Hassin Bin Sober]

80. Glad to see The Onion back on track.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

82. I wonder what they think

about the Jack in the Box commercials? Is Jack human? Come on man, not a real human head but married to a normal woman?
What's that all about?
&imgrefurl=http:/

[Blue_In_AK]

83. Oh, please.

That thought should never have crossed their minds. Good grief. Do they really think pigs can talk?

[fadedrose]

84. I didn't take it as bestiality at all..

It was more like the "lady" was looking for "romance" with a guy she thinks is a pig. That's why she went out with him in the first place.

That's the insult.

She's waiting for him to say, "c'mon baby, you know you want it." Rapists operate on that belief....therefore, even the pig should be insulted...

[Kalidurga]

85. Ok lets pretend they are right about the promotion thing.

The commercial is weird, I can give them that. But, even if it was promoting bestiality, how is this a problem? I really don't think the instances of women having sex with pigs is going to go up because millions of them have seen this commercial.

[supernova]

86. Maybe the flirty young lady just wanted to "polish the hog" n/t

[veganlush]

87. the way we screw pigs

Is with factory farming. Dog is man's best friend, the way we treat pigs they must be our worst enemy. Boycott cruelty, go vegan

[Liberal_in_LA]

99. +100

[PD Turk]

89. Should've used a sheep

Probably wouldn't have heard a peep out of them if they had

[CBGLuthier]

91. Ignoring the Real Issue. This Pig is UNDERAGE

Won't someone think of the pig children???

[HappyMe]

93. Are they slugging absinthe?

What a bunch of twisted moms.

[Raven]

94. Actually, the ad offended me for other reasons.

I thought it made the young woman look like an idiot and I'm tired of ads making women look like mindless fools. There's another ad about coffee with this blond guy at a woman's reading club who reads the coffee label and has all these young women swooning. Annoys the hell out of me.

[Autumn]

95. That commercial pisses me off.

Fruit Ninja??? Get real. They should have had him wanting to play Angry Birds. That would have made it a good commercial.

[Mike Daniels]

96. Heaven forbid they ever stumble upon "Family Guy" on the FOX broadcast network

Since one of the shows running threads is the family dog wanting to bang his owner's wife or any other attractive human female.

That said, while the pig's take on the conversation is ultimately innocent one still has to wonder who thought "pig-girl" flirtation was a good commercial angle regardless.

[Chorophyll]

97. Have they never seen Bugs Bunny dressed as a woman, attempting to seduce Elmer Fudd?

On what planet do these assholes live?
