'Full Metal Jacket' Star: 'GEICO Fired Me' for Criticizing Obama

[ignerntbend]

TMZ reports that the Sarge claims he was fired by Geico for criticizing Obama in 2010, because he wasn't hired to do a second commercial. Someone really does need a tissue.

Exactly, he said that back in 2010 and it's just now being reported on and brought up again. Slow news week so far...

I expect that running the economy into the ground would be bad for BRK stock.

I expect certain people to accept the title of the OP, without reading the thread or looking into the issue, simply because it "sounds true."

 

[R. Johnson]

He didn't just do the TV commercial, he did a series of radio ads for geico as well. He had some sort of deal for multiple ads going with them.
