Update on the Progressive Insurance - who may be soulless cunts - story yesterday
Original story here: www.b3ta.com/links/Youre_just_money_in_the_bank
tl;dr version:
1) Insurance company for dead driver is accused of acting for her killer in order to avoid payout by dead driver's brother in a blog post. Social media goes mental (yesterday's link)
2) Insurance company puts out carefully worded statement saying they didn't act for the defendant
3) Court records (available online) show this is strictly true. They added themselves to the case as a "party defendant", but then argued for the accused, cross-examined prosecution witnesses, and gave a summing up speech proposing he be acquitted. So that's alright then.
This again raises the significant question of whether Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts or not.
**EDIT** When I looked yesterday evening, our thread from yesterday was the third highest result on Google for "soulless cunts". I feel this is quite an achievement.

Progressive insurance are soulless cunts
this second story makes it very clear, had there been any doubt before that progressive insurance were cunts... now there can be no doubt that progressive insurance are cunts.

I think your sentence in the 'message' box ^here^ strays from the point a little
Surely you forgot the word 'soulless' when saying that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts?

Fray, play nicely...
We are a community of free thinking individuals, and while some may feel that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts, others may merely feel that they are cunts, without necessarily being soulless. Merely repeating the words "Progressive Insurance" and "soulless cunts" in order to affect search engine results and the like would be very childish.
I'm personally going to refrain from any further mention of the assertion that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts.

I too will try to refrain from saying that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts.
Even though it's clear that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts.

Apologies.
Any likeness between my previous comments and any statement saying that progressive insurance are soulless cunts is completeley unintentional. If progressive insurance are indeed soulless cunts, surely one of the soulless cunts at progressive insurance would have issued a press release saying something along the lines of "progressive insurance are soulless cunts". Apologies (a word which is a non-anagram of the phrase "progressive insurance are soulless cunts" by the way).

that's an outrageous suggestion. that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts.
although if Progressive Insurance weren't soulless cunts people wouldn't feel the need. the need that is to say that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts.

Whilst I might demur on Progressive Insurance being soulless cunts while still
respecting your rights to assert soulless cunts as a description of Progressive Insurance, it is the notion that progressive insurance being soulless cunts infers that progressive insurance are the only soulless cunts in the insurance game. I certainly can empathise with the position that "soulless cunts" and ""progressive insurance" are very much linked as mutually, but yet this does not preclude insurance services other than progressive insurance being soulless cunts. I agree that progressive are soulless cunts or progressive insurance are not the only soulless cunts ( in the first instance being a definitive statement that progressive insurance ARE soulless cunts and in the second instance that progressive insurance are definitively soulless cunts but not the only soulless cunts ) and it is fair to say that the statement "Progressive Insurance are Soulless Cunts" is a reasonable description of the soulless cunts that are progressive insurance and thus I hope to make it clear that Progressive Insurance = Soulless cunts +/- other soulless cunts that are not progressive insurance but the fixed figure of a = progressive insurance are soulless cunts and soulless cunts/progressive insurance where progressive insurance being soulless cunts is a constant

your very right, permit me to correct the aforementioned error...
for every progressive insurance are cunts, please add a soulless to that sentence..
therefore what i actually mean is progressive insurance are soulless cunts, the sentence should always read that way hence:
progressive insurance are +(soulless) cunts.
If (soulless) = 0 then the cunts are not progressive....
but +(soulless) then, yep progressive insurance are soulless cunts.

Well that makes it all OK then doesn't it.
They're not *technically* acting for the defense, but seem to be doing all of the actual work.
Yet again trying to wriggle out on a technicality. As for whether Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts; they give soulless cunts a bad name.

Psychopathic is what it is, similar to US medical companies with their bending over backwards to
find ways to avoid paying out on those insured... grim case with a child with leukemia recently.

I chimed in yesterday saying that insurance companies were cunts
Upon reflection, I probably should have said that, in my opinion, Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts. My mistake for mixing up the concept of Insurance companies = cunts with the wider opinion, with which I wholeheartedly concur, that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts.
I apologise

I do not know any soulless cunts
I also do not know anyone who works for Progressive Insurance. There may or may not be a correllation between the lack of Progressive Insurance employees and soulless cunts in my life - this will require further investigation. Currently I can only say for sure that the ratio of soulless cunts to Progressive Insurance employees is 1:1

I'm pretty sure no one said Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts.
I wasn't listening to be honest though, so someone may have indeed stated that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts, but without hearing the exact phrase "Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts" I cannot really say whether it has been claimed by someone that Progressive Insurance are soulless cunts.
