    Good dog, bad calculations.

    Never trust dogs to be accurate sources of info regarding weekdays.

    Edit: Due to presented evidence, a correction must be made to my previous statement: “Dogs are, in fact, accurate sources of info regarding all matters of Time. The above dog is a Professor of Time (you can tell by the glasses) and is engaging in Hijinks and Tomfoolery of the highest order.”



  • Advertising. They make it seem like the best thing since sliced bread so if someone is considering changing providers, that company comes to mind. The more they repeat it the more likely people are to think of it when considering options. It doesn’t work on everyone, but this tactic has enough supporting data for them to keep dumping money into it.

    To answer your question about why they are allowed to do it, I would imagine there are little to no regulations on how much is spent on advertising campaigns. It all depends on what a business can afford to spend. Since insurance companies are all about denying coverage, I’d imagine they have quite a bit to dump into advertising. I haven’t looked into it that much, but it looks like they can also claim these as business expenses and get tax write-offs. It wouldn’t be surprising if they tacked on other expenses to the advertising budget and claimed those as write-offs as well.
