Born in the USAA

Hey, what’s up with these USAA commercials? They’re on a lot during football games. They show football player Rob Gronkowski (acting pretty foolish) talking on the phone trying to get insurance. He finds out that USAA is available only to current and former military personnel. Apparently Gronk never served in the armed forces so he’s disappointed. And yeah, we viewers are disappointed as well ‘cause most of us didn’t serve in the military. That’s a very odd concept, only advertising to military personnel. It seems more suited to the Military History channel. And it’s some very expensive advertising for a product that most of us don’t qualify for. My theory is that the military’s paying for these ads to promote the benefits of enlisting…

Gronk needs to find some funnier material. State Farm should have him in a commercial asking for the Rodgers rate. That might be funnier. Or maybe AFLAC could show him catching a wobbly pass which turns out to be a wounded duck.
