State Farm Should Be ASHAMED!

How can State Farm not be ashamed of this commercial?! It is obvious that the wife assumes her husband is on a sex phone line — “at 3 in the morning?” State Farm finds this commercial FUNNY?! And they think they’re going to entice people to buy their insurance?!

This is not a new commercial. This first aired in 2014! And back then I wrote the CEO of State Farm. And never heard back from him. And we have State Farm insurance!

Time for a Great Commercial: “Gotta Have It!”

In Luke 12, Jesus says, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” (v. 15).  Your possessions are not you!

In Matthew 6 Jesus says, ¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Commercials That Outrage Me! STATE FARM’s Soft Porn?

Friends:

Please watch this commercial and tell me what you think:

Here’s some of the dialogue in this commercial:
“Yeah, I’m married.  Does it matter?”
“You’d do that for me?  Really?”
“Yeah, I’d like that!”
“Sounds like a really good deal.”
His wife then interrupts, grilling him about who he’s talking to at three in the morning.

How can one avoid the clear conclusion that his wife thinks he’s talking to someone on a pornography hotline?  And this is the skit State Farm uses to communicate the message that they are available 24 hours a day for questions?  What is our society coming to?

Questions:

1.  Some might say I’m being prudish, puritanical, overly sensitive.  What do you think?

2.  Is marital unfaithfulness so common and men dabbling in pornography so rampant that some find this commercial humorous?  What actions, if any, do you think believers in Christ should take in this situation?  Any?
