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 am on FOX,and 2)the commercial's plot revolved around two older men,watching a black guy in his 20s,have severe problems figuring out his mailbox.The ad should probably be given a half-award,simply 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. --GR Anonymous--I'm a white man
