The Geico Gecko...?

Why does the Geico Gecko embrace Geico now when before he used to be angry when people called him?

    I think its a new gecko. The older one used to have a posh accent, this one sounds more middle-class. So the way I figure it is, the idea is that the first one quit, but the new one took over, cuz that was his life's ambition.

    I liked the English gecko better than the Aussie. Not that I have anything whatsoever against Aussies. But the original one was so much more dignified.

    I wondered about that, too! I'm willing to bet they used strong-arm tactics to get him to change his tune. :)

    BTW: That first answerer has been putting that spam on a lot of questions. Someone should report them. Bad deal, spamming yahoo answers. Nothing is sacred anymore!

    Maybe he had psychiatric counseling to deal with his anger management issues.

    BTW, was he always British?
