Will someone please explain to me America's fascination with Aaron Rogers and the discount double check? Those State Farm commercials aren't funny -- they're just plain annoying. In fact, I've even started to talk back to the television whenever I see one. Yes, I know that's pathetic. But, I now find myself yelling for them to just go away. Clearly, I'm in the minority, though, since they seem to be on television constantly and State Farm keeps rolling out new ones.
Perhaps I should introduce the discount double check to Mayhem. Mayhem is the completely awesome star of Allstate's commercials. Whether he's masquerading as a raccoon, a hot babe out jogging, a satellite dish, or (in his most recent incarnation) a multi-tasking teen-age boy who's supposed to be mowing the lawn, Mayhem is always funny. Better yet, he's destructive, leaving a trail of carnage behind him wherever he goes. I've got to get him onto one of those State Farm sets.
