Have to rant because I just saw the banner ad up top.

What is the take that makes Progressive be her spokeswoman? I don't get it. She's not funny. She's not distinguished. She's not especially attractive. She just seems like an average soccer mom. Is that the take? We want to buy car insurance off a soccer mom?

I'm not sure why so many people complain about her, I kinda like the campaign.

Ya I know her type with the really pasty white face and stark bright red lips. I guess it floats some people's boat. Anyway, apparently she's pretty well liked.

As Roger Sterling once said, "I like redheads. Their mouths are like a drop of strawberry jam in a glass of milk."

Not that I endorse that statement.

Not only are you talking about the spokesperson, you remember and mention the company. That is a VERY successful sign of a good ad for any company.

Funny you'd quote Mad Men, because I think part of the appeal is the retro-60s vibe of "Flo" (and I believe the actress also has a minor part on Mad Men, just to close that loop).

One of my favorite TV characters. I loved this quote (to Joan): "Look, I want to tell you something because you're very dear to me and I hope you understand it comes from the bottom of my damaged, damaged heart. You are the finest piece of ass I ever had and I don't care who knows it. I am so glad I got to roam those hillsides."

Not that I endorse that statement.

I read somewhere that she is an improv comic, not a soccer mom.

I'm pretty sure she's also the one featured in the Fountains of Wayne video for "Someone to Love". (Do yourself a favor and check it out....it's clever!)

Uh, I like pasty white skin, dark hair, and red lips too, but not that Progressive chick. This is more like it:

No one outdoes the Great Okaydo when it comes to celebrity photos. BTW, who is this gal, Okaydo?[/COLOR]


Her name is Krysten Ritter. If you watch a lot of TV, like I do, you've seen her around (Breakng Bad, Gossip Girl, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls).

She's sort of an indy fave for her film noir femme fatale looks.

She was recently on a show called Gravity:

Rant on KoreAMBear - I am not into receding chins either. I can't stand her or their ad campaign.
