Unintended Honesty

I freely admit that I've never been a fan of the insurance industry, tending to view it, at best, as a sometimes necessary evil. Those who disagree have taken umbrage at my assertion that the thing manipulates fear for profit. Allstate's "Mayhem" campaign has demonstrated my perspective quite nicely. That said, I do chuckle at the unintended honesty of their wording:

no one protects you

FROM MAYHEM LIKE ALLSTATE

Mayhem, indeed.
