So, now Geico has the gecko, the caveman, and the pig (aside from the various other random ads)? ---

You mean like Kids In The Hall eventually did with their own [flying pig](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8oGvl22Xlc&feature=related)? (Actually, I’m not sure which is weirder, the Geico pig or the KITH pig.) ---

As long as we’re on the subject, those zip lines are far longer than than they could actually be in real life, right? ---

Supposedly the [longest zip line in the world](http://youtu.be/xfM3x3yoRwA) at 5600.’ Not sure how long the line in the Geico commercial is supposed to be. ---

OK, ignorance fought. Meanwhile, on a bit of research, it turns out the commercial was filmed at Navitat Canopy Adventures in Wrightwood, CA. [Here’s a link](http://www.navitat.com/wrightwood/blog/2012/01/geicos-maxwell-the-pig-rides-the-zip-lines-at-navitat-wrightwood/). It cracks me up that there too, most of the posted comments are some variation of “What the hell is the pig saying?” ---
