I have a confession to make: I absolutely love the Geico insurance cavemen. They are hot, hot, hot! And now all you cavemen fans have even more reasons to love them. ABC has announced they will give the Geico cavemen their own half hour Internet comedy show. If the show is anything like their commercials, I'm sure they will go from being admen to the next big thing in no time. Since I consider myself to be their biggest fan, I will be all over that show when it airs as well as all over the caveman who says "My mother's calling, let me put her on speaker-phone."
