GEICO Cuts Ads from Glenn Beck's Show
David Schepp
GEICO has agreed to no longer run its iconic car-insurance advertisements during the Glenn Beck Program, which broadcasts on the Fox News Channel cable network, the African-American advocacy organization ColorofChange.org said Wednesday.
The insurer, known for its ads featuring cavemen and a chatty gecko with a cockney accent, has joined a growing list of advertisers who are steering clear of Beck, a self-described "rodeo clown" and conservative commentator with a penchant for petulance and over-the-top criticism of President Barack Obama and other Democratic leaders.
Earlier this month, GEICO instructed its ad buyer "to redistribute its inventory of rotational spots" to other Fox-TV programs, ColorofChange said in a statement, citing an email received from GEICO. "As of August 4, GEICO no longer runs any paid advertising spots during Mr. Beck's program," the email read.
Among other sponsors who have pulled their ads from Beck's show are household products companies Procter & Gamble (PG) and SC Johnson, and another insurer, Progressive Insurance (PGR), ColorofChange said. Progressive Insurance rep Cristy Cote said that the company wants to "avoid programming that we believe our customers and potential customers might find extremely offensive."
The organization has been urging advertisers to boycott Beck's show, which airs at 5 p.m. weeknights, for what it calls Beck's hateful rhetoric, including comments he made about Obama being '"a racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people." Critics say that Beck stirs up division and hatred and feeds misinformation to his audience in an emotional, entertaining way, which, unfortunately, is taken seriously. A recent example includes Beck inspiring anti-health care reform protesters to disrupt town hall meetings.
The Fox News Channel, generally, is known for its conservative stance and its criticism of liberal leaders throughout the government, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The network is a subsidiary of News Corp. (NWS), run by media-mogul Rupert Murdoch. News Corp.'s other holdings include The Wall Street Journal, a publication renowned for its conservative editorial stances.
ColorofChange founder James Rucker announced GEICO's decision in a column published on HuffingtonPost.com on Wednesday afternoon.
ColorofChange is hoping to enlist more people in its effort to pull ads from Beck's show. To date, it said, 75,000 members of the organization have signed a petition asking executives at specific companies to drop their support for the show.
In his column today, Rucker asked supporters outside the organization to also sign the petition.
Hopefully someone

Man blames cat for porn downloads
AP
Monday, 10 August 2000
Florida investigators say a man accused of downloading child pornography is blaming his cat.
Keith Griffin is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after detectives found more than 1,000 images on his home computer.
According to a sheriff's report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music.
He said he had left the room and found "strange things" on his computer when he returned.
Griffin is being held on $250,000 bond in the Martin County jail. It is unclear if he has an attorney.
G'm to you too. Enjoy the

Praying man let his daughter die
Dale Neumann during his trial in Wausau Wisconsin, 28 July 2009
Dale Neumann faces up to 25 years in prison
A US jury has found a man guilty of killing his sick 11-year-old daughter by praying for her recovery rather than seeking medical care.
The man, Dale Neumann, told a court in the state of Wisconsin he believed God could heal his daughter.
She died of a treatable disease - undiagnosed diabetes - at home in rural Wisconsin in March last year, as people surrounded her and prayed.
Neumann's wife, Leilani Neumann, was convicted earlier this year.
The couple, who were both convicted of second-degree reckless homicide, face up to 25 years in prison when they are sentenced in October.
A lawyer representing Dale Neumann said he would appeal.
'Faith healing'
During the trial, medical experts told the court that Neumann's daughter could have survived if she had received treatment, including insulin and fluids, before she stopped breathing.
On Thursday Neumann, who is 47 and studied in the past to be a Pentecostal minister, said he thought God would heal his daughter.
"If I go to the doctor, I am putting the doctor before God," he said. "I am not believing what he said he would do."
He also said he thought his daughter had had flu or a fever, and that he had not realised how ill she was.
Neumann's lawyer said he had been convinced that his "faith healing" was working, and that he had committed no crime.
The prosecution argued that Neumann had minimised his daughter's illness and that he had allowed her to die as a selfish act of faith.
They said the girl should have been taken to hospital because she was unable to walk, talk, eat or drink.
Instead, an ambulance was only called once the girl had stopped breathing.
Start your freaking engines!

I wish Griffey could
have had a more healthy career. Five years he played less than half the season. He may have gone down as "the" greatest player ever.
Still has the sweetest swing I've ever seen.
