I read today that the Geico Gecko passed away early this afternoon. There is some speculation that drugs may have been involved. I don't know what you all (my thousands of readers) think, but I'm getting pretty freaked out. Every day some new famous or marginally famous person is dying. This one really got to me though. I mean, once corporate sponsors start falling off, who's next?
A reporter for the NY Times caught up with Toucan Sam, the last known individual to have seen the Gecko, after the incident occurred. Appearing innebriated, he mumbled something about how he and the Gecko had "gotten in an argument over whose sponsorship had done more for their respective franchises." The Wienerschnitzel hot dog, who was a close friend of the Gecko, was reportedly seen leaving a gentlemen's club, which he owns, with him the night prior to the incident. "It's a sad day for us all," he said. "I'm not at liberty to disclose any information regarding Gecko's death but I can say that he will be sorely missed."
There is no word on who might replace the Gecko as the insurance giant's new sponsor, but a representative for the company did make mention in a press conference of recent talks with one or more of the Keebler Elves.
On a side note, there were some more car bombs in various cities around the globe today.
