Lawyer Ads
So maybe it’s just me being nostalgic recently, but can we please go back to the days when daytime TV was not filled with one attorney after another selling their services on TV. Remember the good old days when lawyers limited their advertising to full-page ads in or on the cover of the phone book and giant billboards. I seriously will not be surprised when I finally see the commercial that begs for every unfortunate soul that’s home on a Tuesday at 11 A.M. to sue somebody.
“It doesn’t even matter who! Just sue somebody, and let me help!”
For the lawyers out there in the world: keep up the good work. Fight for the little guy and may justice prevail. But if you advertise on TV, you’re not fighting for the weak and oppressed, you’re exploiting them. Admit it and move on.
After the lawyers, we’ll move on to take pharmaceutical and political ads off the air. I’m not looking forward to next fall when it will be non-stop, “Sue Your Boss!”, “Vote for Me!”, “Cure that tingly feeling that you sometimes get in your legs if you sit on the toilet too long!”, “Sue the guys that made the drug that they advertised for just before this ad!”
But of course, what used to be guidelines are now infringements on freedom and liberty. What a great future we have to look forward to, and all in HD.
