She-Ra as an Insurance Company Mascot?

She-Ra, the female counterpart to He-Man, wields the ‘Sword of Protection’. So then who better to represent an insurance company? She could slay the Allstate ‘Mayhem’ guy, saving everyone from his fearsome wrath! And she would protect all her company’s customers with her Sword of Protection (and kill anyone who broke your stuff).

Maybe she could do ads for a health insurance company, so it would make more visual sense when she was fighting Skeletor or Hordak, who both look like death itself. So Skeletor or Hordak would try to kill health insurance clients, but She-Ra would protect them from illness or injury! (Yea!)

Plus, when the She-Ra and He-Man cartoons were really popular, our current 30-somethings were about the age to be watching it, so they would all be very familiar with the characters. And they would probably be about the right age to be in the market for lots of different insurance needs right about now: car, home, life, health, etc. (It would make more sense than using the Peanuts characters to shill for MetLife. Although the Peanuts are cute and everything, they really didn’t have much to do with insurance-related issues, did they?) I mean this more as a joke, but it really might work and resonate with people; you never know. It certainly would make sense logically with the good vs. evil and order vs. chaos thing, don’t you think?

This is She-Ra:
