AT LEAST THE DOGS GET TO LIVE.


This would be a funny idea, except there's nothing funny about the running of the bulls, even a parody like this.  It only reminds us of this annual sadistic treatment of innocent animals who aren't given a sporting chance to avoid being slaughtered. So to present a lighthearted take on the cowardly creeps who participate in this horror doesn't really work. I'm sure the art director and copywriter are patting themselves on the back for the praise they are getting from all the cold-hearted people who don't really care about animal cruelty. Me? I change the channel.

Note: In another Geico commercial they show a woman getting a massage when suddenly the walls close in. The logical conclusion, of course, is that the masseuse and customer will both be crushed to death. What kind of sadistic, anti-social ad agency has Geico hired?
