FAKE Cavemen on our Televisions

First, you all MUST know that the characters depicted on the commercials for an insurance company ARE NOT REAL MODERN DAY CAVEMEN!

There is absolutely, positively no "metrosexual" cavemen. There have never been any, there are NONE now, and THERE NEVER WILL BE.

You all know quite well what I am writing about. That insurance company's television ads would have you believe that modern day cavemen act the way those actors in heavy makeup and costumes do. This is completely false.

Not only must we all be subjected to those ads, there is a Web site where a "tour" of one of their living spaces can be panned through and NO MODERN DAY REAL CAVEMAN WOULD EVER LIVE IN A PLACE LIKE THAT!!!!!

Still is seems the ABC Television Network may even buy a series based on those characters from those awful advertisements.

Cant you imagine the total disgust when real cavemen view these ads and know we are nothing like those characters depicted on those ads.

Shame, shame on that insurance company's ad agency for coming up with that marketing ploy. It stinks and it confuses many of the good, honest, and intelligent who are trying to figure real modern day cavemen, out.

There is, fortunately, a great many shows that have had actors depict real cavemen. I am going to list some of those characters and give you the one, most important way, that you can tell these actors are portraying real cavemen.

The first really, really big secret any person who really knows what real modern day cavemen are like, knows they must first look for the caveman's cave. Once you can identify the cave, you have identified the caveman. sometimes the caves are hard to spot, so I will give you some clues.

Here are some great cavemen's portrayal on Television, and their caves.

Archie Bunker. His "cave" is in the Smithsonian Institute. It's his chair.

Dan Conner. He was most at home in his "cave", which was his garage, near his motorcycle.

"Jim" from According to Jim. He has his chair in the living room, too.

Sheriff Andy Taylor. Notice how comfortable he looks behind his desk in his office?

Fred Mertz. This I know, is a toughie. If you notice how comfortable he is next to Ricky Ricardo, and how uncomfortable he is near Ethel, you will find his "cave" always being near Ricky.

Captain James T. Kirk. Of course his chair on the bridge is his "cave".

Frank Barrone. His "cave" was in a chair at any table with food on it.

Ray Barrone. His "cave" was in his basement where he wrote at a desk. All other places he seemed to not be comfortable.

Television can show us where many different cavemen have their caves and we see that no matter where it is, as long as the character seems comfortable in usually one specific spot, that is their cave.

I have a very strong feeling that if any network puts on a show with the characters portrayed in those insurance company ads, not only will you not be able to find any "cave" but thankfully, the show should not even last one season.

The folks at the networks have gotten it correct for generations in the depiction of cavemen in the modern world, any new show with those characters is doomed.
