The move comes after the company first denied sponsoring the graphic show. When the PTC provided video proving the company's sponsorship and urged members to contact Geico to ask whether the vulgar and violent content featured on *The Shield* (including a man acting out a rape fantasy with a prostitute) reflected their corporate values, the company assured us they would not support the program any longer.
