GEICO TV Spot, 'Lifetime Channel: War & Peace'

A woman in an ornate study writes a letter with a quill, attaches the note to the leg of a pigeon and sends the bird off out her window. The town crier intercepts the animal and reads the message it was carrying aloud to the public. It was, in fact, a primitive form of a tweet, complete with hashtags, in which the woman expresses her love for @soldierboy1805. After the announcement is complete, everybody in the town starts to applaud. A narrator says that, just as teenagers in love tweet about it, people who want to save money on car insurance switch to GEICO. The woman continues to send notes until the crier is covered in pigeons. The miniseries "War & Peace" is airing on History Channel, Lifetime and A&E.
