Here is Geico's latest commercial from The Martin Agency. Uploaded on hump day, it's all about hump day. And it stars a certain mammal that hails from the Middle East and Africa. You can see where this is going. Part of the insurance company's ongoing "Happier Than" campaign. Silliness at its best.

Star Admitted That She's Open To Tying The Knot With

# The Charge "Son can I bend your ear for a tick?" # Opening Statement **Strictly Ballroom** is a gem, a unifying movie which appeals to a broad range of people. It's a great introduction to director Baz Luhrmann (**Moulin Rouge!**). # Facts of the Case Scott Hastings (Paul Mercurio, **Adrenalin Junkies**) is poised to win The Pan Pacific Grand Prix with partner Liz Holt (Gia Carides, **East of Everything**). The only problem is he doesn't want to dance strictly ballroom steps.

Apparently part of the reason for the long wait was the need for Baz Luhrmann to have another movie due ...
