Your Daily WTF: Insurance Advertising Edition.

[sechan19]

I got a generic ad in the mail from Nationwide Insurance the other day. On the cover of the envelope? An admonition to the postmaster:

"Please deliver before their life changes again."

And what? The whirlwind turbulence of their life renders a need for your insurance company's services obsolete? The ratio of uninsured to insured begins to tip civilization as we know it into crisis? Monkeys spontaneously generate out of old wire coat hangers? (And FYI: You're pretty much too late to do anything about the first two on that list.)

Seriously.

Chill out already.

if you figure out how to make a monkey out of coat hangers, let me know. Tuftytoes needs company.

Seriously funny. I was laughing so hard by the third sentence of the second paragraph that I couldn't even read the fourth sentence (tears too thick). But what I don't get is how you think the letter was in time to fix the third item.

Well, the third item is a total hypothetical. Unlikely to happen in any event, but nevertheless something that has not yet happened. I was trying to be funny, so I'm glad you found it funny.

In a related vein, I called to activate a credit card, and the automated voice told me I could get this great insurance that would pay my balance up to $10,000 in the event I lost my job or "experienced loss of life". WTF indeed.
