Are the GEICO Caveman advertising icons or just refined, Neanderthal-like men? You decide!

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Even though the Cavemen haven’t warmed up to GEICO yet, the insurance company is campaigning for them to be named the Favorite Icon for 2008 in the annual Advertising Week online voting poll.

Fans of the urbane Cavemen can vote for them by going to geico.com or a special Yahoo! Voting Web site, advertisingweek.yahoo.com.

Despite the Cavemen’s apparent disdain for GEICO’s advertising, the pop culture phenomenon has earned the affection of millions with their sarcastic humor and sophisticated lifestyle.

The bitter feud between GEICO and the Cavemen began in 2004 when the insurance company described their user-friendly Web site with the slogan, “so easy, a caveman could do it.” The Cavemen have been offended ever since.

So if you are on Team Caveman, don’t forget to show your support.

Voting, so easy a caveman can do it.
