Broadview Security

I've seen three different ads for this alarm system company and all seem to have a serious flaw.

1. Woman and child go inside house for lunch. A gruesome man kicks in the door. Mother and child scream and run upstairs. The phone rings, the woman answers, it's Broadview Security.

2. Woman returns home after a date. Her ex-boyfriend smashes through the door. The woman screams and runs upstairs. The phone rings, it's Broadview Security.

3. A man who has apparently just attended a party at a woman's house smashes in. The woman screams. Apparently she runs upstairs because she's shown sliding across a bed to answer the phone. It's Broadview Security calling.

It seems to me that running upstairs might not be the wisest thing to do - unless maybe these women have a gun upstairs. Most all houses have just one way out from upstairs - down the stairs. If you're downstairs you have multiple ways to get out.

BMW

BMW has a TV ad where a guy is standing in darkened area. He’s holding a fluorescent bulb. He says that Americans are responsible people and BMW is responsible too. That’s when about 10,000 fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling come on.

Car Insurance

Progressive ad says I can save $450/yr by switching from my present insurance.

GEICO ad says I can save $400/yr by switching from Progressive.

Allstate ad says I can save $350 by switching from GEICO.

So, I'm going with Progressive. Then I'm switching to GEICO and then to Allstate.

It'll be nice to get a check from Allstate every month.
