    Warren Buffet Geico video

    Did anyone else notice that when Warren Buffett rocks out in the GEICO video he is wearing a kilt? Can't tell the tartan though ...

    Thanks for the heads up. I loved it! Buffett obviously has a great sense of humor. Apparently this is the 4th annual meeting video he has appeared in for Geico.

    Rock on, Warren!!

    Saw it on CNN last night. They only showed the top of his waist so you couldn't tell if it was a kilt, but the tartan looked a lot like Royal Stewart...

    Will look....though I remain most baffled by Geico...they advertise constantly on every possible tv/cable channel, every magazine, put card inserts in bills and unrelated product catalogs, have commercials on all the radio stations, billboards everywhere. Their advertising budget HAS to be huge...can't imagine where they cut costs to be able to afford all the advertising and still pay off their insurance claims...

    Hadn't seen it yet myself, but I heard he's doing a parody of Axl Rose in it.

    Whoever got him to channel 'Axl' should be given a raise!
    That was hilarious
