www.stopprop17.org — Tell every Californian you know to get the real story from our friends at the Campaign for Consumer Rights. Ever hear of a car insurance company spending millions on a political campaign to ensure they make LESS in profits? Sounds like an April Fool’s Day joke, but Mercury Insurance wants to trick you into thinking it’s for real. Proposition 17 is a deceptively written ballot measure that Mercury wants you to believe would protect consumers but would actually allow car insurance companies to stick soldiers, seniors, students and other Californians with 00 surcharges.

Great video, I didn’t see the parody initially, even though the guy was grating my nerves as soon as I saw his face, which wasn’t helped by the thumps up in the poster at 0:18 – 0:20. Very creative! Now for another ‘thumbs up!’.

I had Mercury insurance.
It was a huge pain in the ass getting anything covered, because you had to meet with an adjuster during work hours and I was working overtime. I talked to them and they said I could wait as long as I needed to arrange an appointment. When I called back 6 months later, they said I waited too long and they wouldn’t cover it.
Then I had to wait almost two weeks for them to send an adjuster to look at a gash in the top of my car, during the rainy season.

They said I was 100% covered for repairs. So I got the repairs. When I next called up Mercury, my adjuster was gone and they said she never saw the top of my car so they couldn’t cover it. When I said, how can you look at a car and not see the top, they laughed at me. Literally. These guys are complete scum.

What a lovely little film. It reminds me of the days I spent in the South of France with Jimmy Carter.
