...who was living the dream with his new popularity, even building a cult following. Just a regular guy named Jake Stone who won the part in a company casting call who essentially played himself in the commercial.

-After the popularity of the commercial skyrocketed, the vocal minority got pissed because of the insinuation that a biological male sounding voice on a female is unattractive. This didn't sit well with MTF transexuals and their supporters.

-State Farm edited the commercial and aired it without that offensive punchline.

-Damage was already done, so they decided to wipe they slate clean and sent Jake packing.
