I don't think anyone should be removed because they are old & fat.... look at Colonel Sanders, he was still likable.

But I do agree that she has become boring & outdated.  The Flo concept is no longer is unique or funny.  IMHO

I don't think she's old and fat  :-\  I can see switching things up since she's been with Progressive for a while. I just don't pay any attention to her anymore.

Maybe it was just the one ad.  I don't know.  It is the one I keep seeing when I do the daily email.  It is so irritating I want to punch my computer.  She looks like she has gained about 50 pounds and like she should have died 3 years ago.  lol

The daily e-mail ad, yeah I can see how that can get annoying. But if she wasn't working out I'm sure they would've brought someone else in by now. They had an article out about the actress who plays her and she's quite charming.

I am all for keeping Flo because I now identify Progressive with her and I like her

I am not on board with terminating someone because they are old and fat. I think that she is still bringing in increased revenue. I believe that any company that is seeing increased revenue margins is smart to stick with what is working. It appears that Progressive is testing different markets with other commercial venues in anticipation of a less popular/ profitable Flo so I would imagine that her margins are decreasing. I have the majority of my insurance through Farmer's insurance but was steered to Progressive from four different sources for the unique car that I drive daily: a 1965 jeep CJ. Progressive offers unigue and inexpensive programs. My insurance is only ten dollars per month for comprehensive and collision. If my jeep gets totaled I get paid four times what I paid for it.

I don't mind Flo at all but I can see updating her character.

As long as people are discussing her and the commercials Progressive is happy

She has to eat so let her be. She isn't hurting anyone. What she's doing is working for Progressive that's why they keep her.

Contrary to what you all may think, just that fact that you are talking about her makes her still relevant.  You are paying attention or you would not be complaining.    How would you like to go to work and hear people think you  are a little heavy or little a little old, so they need to get rid of you.  No wonder actresses are always talking about past 35-40 and they cannot get work.  Tacky.
   


lol.  She is not an actor.  She is in a commercial.  And if you are in the public eye people are going to talk about you.

Not if they are discussing it in a negative way.  And just because they talk about her or the company does not mean they are buying the insurance.

      By the way: Don't you know some people look better in their 60's and 70's than when they were younger? And yes... some old people look better than young people!
