You have to remember though that the helicopter wasn't meant for surveilance, it was a parody on dangerous car chase situations.
Actually, that's one of the main reasons why I find it to be so creepy. It was obviously meant to be ambiguous enough that it could be interpreted either way (I don't believe for a second that advertising agencies are not smart enough to know how things might be interpreted)

Creepy is right. You see it creeping across the gamut of commercialism. The government gets its dig. Don't mind the sound of helos (or drones) overhead. Don't mind paying out the nose for a "product" (called insurance) that really isn't a product but an extortion of your hard earned dollar to keep stuff from happening

Not only commercials but it seems every other show is a show about cops. Drama cops, forensic cops, chase cops, Ex cops, Drug cops and cops in jail.
Watch you gonna do when they cavity search you, bad boys, bad boys.
That's exactly the way I see mandatory insurance. Extortion. I don't know how anyone can see it any other way.

How weird....we were just joking how creepy this commercial is.......
As for Flo.....I've seen her in a few small parts in horror type movies.......her eyes can be really creepy in a beautifully strange sorta way....I tried to find some clips and didn't find anything....but her name is Stephanie Courtney, and she started out in stand-up comedy and is also some kind of "fetish" internet sensation now.....

Anyhow, I dont see insurance as a racket or extortion.
You whine and bitch that you have to PAY it, yet when someone slams into your car and has NO insurance, you whine and bitch that your car is wrecked, cant afford a new one, etc. You whiners will NEVER be happy
