Take a picture in the style of the Geico commercials. Title your picture with the question, like "What do you live under a rock?"

Apparently I DO live under a rock. No idea what you're talking about... But it would probably make a good challenge!

Some of these things would mean "dick all" to persons not living in North America unless of course some sort of link was provided.

Melethia beat me to it

If you don't watch a lot of television, you probably don't see the Geico Ads. Most of them feature a talking geico with a British accent.

I think the GEICO gecko speaks Australian, though I've never actually seen him with a can of Foster's ...

Yeah, I've heard that, but they're the ones with the necessary tag line, and we were making fun of commercials, right?

Wow new guy is in for a long stay....

I think the better suggestion due to concern of regional differences would open up to the idea of commercials. Probably been done though and not as cool as something this specific. But i mean allstate has had a few nice crash commercials i know one of us could arrange for such.

Oh no...not Allstate...nothing that specific...I mean Christ forbid these people open a damn web browser and search for something

Actually Paul, the gecko I have seen has a strong London accent, definitely not Australian.

They are considering the international members, who constitute a large portion of this site's membership. Even if someone can look something up on youtube or Wikipedia, knowing what it is does not give you the cultural reference to appreciate the spoof. In fact, I did spoof Geico a bit in one of my own challenge entries, and I ended up PM'ing some people after the challenge to explain the regional context of the humor. Even when they had some context, it was not nearly as humorous as it was to those in the US, who are inundated with these commercials. Fortunately, the dig at Geico was only a secondary aspect of this entry.

And there are one, maybe two of us North Americans who, for reasons completely unfathomable, simply don't watch television. Except for Glee, of course, and apparently Geico doesn't sponsor Glee. Or I don't notice because I record it and watch and fast forward through the commercials...

I do know that Geico uses a gecko, but haven't seen an ad for quite some time.

you join last month and do NOTHING but make challenge suggestions, don't enter any, just make suggestions for themes and when we respond to them WE are the idiots? I need an updated rules guide apparently...

Yes smardazz....all you people do is tear down the new people with your "bantering", a simple good idea or bad idea would suffice...but no you all have to throw your damn two cents in....as for why I haven't entered a challenge....none of them have interested me which is why I am making suggestions....I am not like the rest of you...I don't shoehorn pictures out my ass like farts and rainbows and hope to get a good score...get a life

i question my myself for continuing this conversation, (i really think you're just a troll looking to stir up trouble for your own enjoyment, can't imagine any other reason for you being so disagreeable) but, why would you post something in a discussion forum and then get upset when others throw in "their damn two cents"?

And for the record, if you submitted a picture of someone farting a rainbow out of their ass....I would give you a 10 for it.

Really? Then why are you still here?

I've been here a long time and so have most of the other people that commented here. I don't see anyone tearing you down. What I wrote above is probably the most negative thing I've ever written here. I'm a nice person. The way you just group everyone together as "the bad guys" is nuts. Maybe you need some anger management or something.

As for throwing in our two cents, that's what a forum is for.

To be honest your account should be binned. Haven't entered, haven't commented, haven't voted. Haven't brought an ounce of value, yet you have a go at respected members. Class act.
