She didn't get fired, the character was put to rest. And I'm sure the rest of the corporate world doesn't know or give a fuck about Rule 34 and it's various connotations.

The original story was speculation, and is 2.5 months old.

Here's one on the same site, by the same guy, two weeks later:
http://www.bnet.com/blog/advertising-business/the-erin-esurance-autopsy-she-was-less-popular-than-microsoft-8217s-8220clippy-8221/5048

It is more or less a retraction that points out that Erin Esurance had low brand recognition and popularity. People found her annoying. And that's most likely why she was retired.

She WAS annoying. But a dick in her mouth would fix that.

Yeah, thank goodness they removed that annoyance and replaced her with more charismatic and lovable fellows...

I always liked Erin Esurance. That guy who was kind of her co-worker in spying or whatever and kind of her love interest? Not so much. Whatever, their rates suck anyway.


Who likes role-playing games? Me. Way too goddamn much.

I hate their new commercials, and that one is one of the more tolerable. I especially hate the one where they act like robots. I don't see how anyone would want to be insured by a company that makes their own employees look like a bunch of retarded assholes.

I wish Rule 34 would get the Simpsons cancelled.

Rule 34 Simpsons is some of the worst garbage ever created.

I don't know. It always catches me off-guard when there's just some random banner ad with horribly drawn Simpsons characters just going wild.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

Yeah, there's really not a single non-terrible artist working on Simpsons Rule 34 out there. But there are plenty of terrible ones and horrifyingly disturbing ones; Homer and Lisa? Ew.
