LOL - the point is, you remembered. That's what they pay those big TV-type bucks for.

Exactly my point. when it comes time to pick an Insurance company you may not remember x and y but Z(the product) is burned into your Memory.
Some people get offended by the sexual nature of commercials these days but SEX has always been a factor in commercials.

SEX .. in the 50's and 60's it was a "proper" wife dressed like she was going out on the town doing her daily chores.

In advertising school the FIRST thing you learn is SEX sells.

Watch ANY commercial from whatever era with an open mind and you will see it.

Liberty Mutual runs a very racist commercial that plays on the trope of the bad black man, needing forgiveness for "one little mistake". They seem to run this racist commercial for the benefit of white audiences, for it is very demeaning to black people. They must be a real had company for a black person to work for, plus their insurance packages are highly discriminatory, so no wonder they would cook up that trash, and CNN is gung-ho about running it and run it all the time.
