Don't Drunk Dial FreedomWorks!
D.C. Douglas, Former Geico Voice Actor, Fires Back At FreedomWorks
D.C. Douglas was the voice-over announcer for Geico Insurance ads. He was fired by Geico because he placed a call to FreedomWorks, the corporate loving parent of the tea party, and laid into them. They saved the recording, sent it to Geico, and they fired him.
From the story:
“D.C. Douglas may have lost his gig as a voice over announcer on Geico commercials, but he's found another use for his time and talent ... making a tongue-in-cheek PSA warning people, ‘don't drunk dial FreedomWorks.’”
“Douglas, also known as Lance Baxter, made headlines when he left a nasty message for the conservative organization which is closely aligned with the Tea Party. The message and a subsequent call from FreedomWorks back to Douglas were leaked, and Geico promptly fired him.”
“’What I did may have been entertaining, but it was also impetuous and not well thought out,’ Douglas said in a statement released on Monday. ‘If I were to make that call today, I would use a more diaphram-supported voice and ask very different questions.’”
Check out the video. Hilarious!

Clark, this is why people like me who don't drink and still go to partys where people get drunk can never be able to get them to believe just how entertaining people watching can be, that is when they are not being just too obnoxious to even stay and watch them. (smile)
But then so many people do drunk what they really want to do cold sober, but are too afraid to do so....
