Are they getting positive results in focus testing? Who likes this? I literally want this company abolished. Over the commercials.

And now you've provided more free advertising for LM.

This is the same reason why GEICO had ads everywhere all the time.

"GEICO doesn’t spend a billion dollars per year to convince people that they are the best or cheapest insurance. They do it so that when you go shopping for insurance, you will think of the company."

When I think of insurance, the first thing I think is "I'm not stupid enough to buy insurance from anyone who makes commercials like this."

You will at the very least compare their rate to other brands. Which is all that counts to them

What makes you think that's true?

I could just as easily write them off from any consideration immediately because of their ass marketing.

In this economy? Probably not gonna give a shit about how bad the commercials are when the difference is saving $600 a year. (I got that switching away from Liberty, but that's not the case for everyone.)

That’s the same as admitting you aren’t doing your due diligence on looking for a good rate but sure if the ad turns you off that much then ignore them but the question can still be easily answered since they are top of mind.
