The Face of Evil...

...Is the dude in State Farm commercials. Seriously, that man creeps me the hell out; he has the dark, squinty eyes and plastered smile of Satan. Everytime I see that guy I can't help but ask, "Why did they want Satan to endorsing their insurence?". I know he's just a dude trying to make a living, but damn. Everytime I see a State Farm commercial, I expect him to say, "Join the millions of other people who use State Farm... in hell."

Flash on their site... His name is 'Mayhem' and it's their 'mayhem is everywhere' campaign.

I thought the ads were pretty funny, especially the teenage girl/boy ones.

Though I use Progressive because it gives me identical coverage for less.

Well, many of those things are stuff that Progressive doesn't specialize in - like the storm damage to the car. However, we've selected Progressive as well.

But neither they nor State Farm will insure our house. It's too old, and not built a mile away from forest.

I see what threw me. That guy is Allstate, not State Farm.
(or are they related?)

I was imagining another one of those State Farm commercials where the infernal agent is summoned with the ceremonial chant "Like a good neighbor... Eyah, Eyah!"

Isn't State Farm doing the commercials where they summon random agents of various stereotypes for some customers?

Oddly enough, Allstate is fairly well known for their evil, at least in the legal world.
