In other words if it's off but you want it on then push it. Now that it is on to turn it back off push it again. For the instance where a prankster has pushed all of them there still needs to be a cancel all button. Or enablea a toggle feature on the elevator buttons.

He has had a stellar professional career, all with the Milwaukee Bucks. SafeAuto did well in choosing Michael Redd as a Spokesman. Michael is from Columbus Ohio and lives there in the off season. He has had a terrific basketball career and more importantly is someone SafeAuto can be proud to associate their brand with. The only other time they used an athlete as a spokesperson was Clark Kellogg of CBS fame. But if you dig a little deeper, you will see that Clark also is an Ohio State Graduate, played professionally for Indiana and lives in Columbus Ohio. The common thread here is that SafeAuto is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Home town Clark and Michael both have the kind of values that SafeAuto knows will add value and prestige to their brand in the communities they seek to engage. In todays climate companies like SafeAuto need to be very careful who they allow to represent them. It is always risky business and could ultimately come back and bite you in the rear end. Because of his character, Michael Redd is the perfect fit for SafeAuto and I hope the relationship is helpful to all the parties. There are not enough good guys like Michael Redd so it is good to see him get the face time and used as a spokesman for SafeAuto.

My guess is that a Safe Auto prospect is someone with a poor driving record (someone who can't get more traditional insurance... eg. high risk drivers), and apparently they know and like Michael Redd. I've never seen Redd's Q score, but I have to figure that Safe Auto did their research and he fit the cost to reward requirements as their spokesman. Thanks for commenting!

Acting, editing, pacing and overall quality is poor. For me this has diminished the brand of both Safe Auto and Michael Redd. Still don't get why Redd was chosen. It's as if the Safe Auto marketing team simply read somewhere that Redd was a one-time All-Star/Olympic Gold Medalist and signed him without completing any additional research. He's in a small market, is injured all the time, and doesn't have a great screen presence. They could have gotten slam dunk "star" Nate Robinson or countless other, better options on the cheap.
