By Grand Rapids Anonymous—I'm a white man

GEICO receives first GRA AWARD for its commercial depiction of TV whites as something other than idiots:
Two problems: It was shown at 1:44 a.m. on FOX, and 2) The commercial's plot revolved around two older men watching a black guy in his twenties have severe problems figuring out his mailbox.
The ad should probably be given a half-award, because GEICO did not have the balls to show two white men watching the IQ-deficient black, but instead, made one of two older characters black.
Still, it is the first ad I can recall seeing, that had a black as the butt of the joke. Congrats, GEICO. That didn't hurt too much—did it? Good.
