Ad man "Mad Man" Mark Forer here, weighing in.  That's a TV spot
for GEICO insurance whereby Dad saves dough by constructing his own
backyard "amusement park" on the cheap instead of blowing a ton of
dough at a real theme park.

Another TV spot ad has Dad enjoying his kids trying to "play" with
a "playing possum" possum -- the object being dad has saved money with
a free backyard possum rather than buying his kids an expensive dog.
The bottom line: there are better ways of saving money, i.e., by
buying GEICO insurance.

They're not bad spots -- I remember the message -- but I still won't
buy GEICO insurance!
