Why exactly is this news?  |
|
I am watching the news and I just saw a story about people being up in arms because of a law firm's billboard ad. You really have to see it to know what I am talking about. http://abcnews.go.com/The... I am sorry but the person who crated this ad just had poor judgment they did not commit a crime. People need to relax a bit.

1. suscan (1670) | 3 years ago | I agree with you,. It is poor judgment but not worth being on the news. And the people who are complaining are actually giving this law firm lots and lots of free advertising. There are so much out there is news worthy, why do we have to be so uptight about something silly like this.

Lifez2short (1408) | 3 years ago | I also agree with the both of it's just poor judgement and nothing more. I dont think its very newsworthy either must have been a slow news day for that town.

suscan (1670) | 3 years ago | It was on the Pittsburgh news tonight,and they had the lawyer who started the campaign,so some more free advertising for them. Of course there have been several shootings here recently but we have to feature a bill board on the news. Sure makes you wonder what the news media is thinking

2. soccermom (1810) | 3 years ago | I live outside the Chicago area and even our local news did a story on this! Why not devote that energy to something that matters? It's not like there aren't a million other issues that could use some attention. As for the billboard, I thought it was kind of funny, but I have an odd sense of humor. Besides, it was put in an area where alot of singles live, they are marketing to their target audience. People do need to chill out, and I think this law firm is getting more publisity than they ever imagined.

3. brokentia (7815) | 3 years ago | Wow! I can't believe that someone would have that poor of judgment when they are supposedly very intelligent! At this point, that law firm is seriously going to suffer. And someone is not going to be a partner anymore. They took the billboard down. Now it just needs to be left alone. But of course, media and outraged people will egg it on. So I agree with you. People need to relax a bit and not get too worked up over something they obviously realized was a mistake.

razcal2267 (9498) | 3 years ago | It is sad that there was poor judgment made when creating the billboard but I have seen worse things so I guess hat is why it really is left me puzzled as to why so many made it out to be as if the law firm committed a crime and should be punished.

4. emeraldisle (8978) | 3 years ago | I agree it's not news worthy and by doing all the news stories on it all it's doing is giving them the publicity that they want. I'm sure they are loving all this. More people know about them now then ever. If no one had made the fuss about the board in a few months they would have taken it down anyways but now they got everyone talking about them.

razcal2267 (9498) | 3 years ago | I am sure that they did not plan on this much controversy over their ad but I do not blame them for taking advantage of it. You are right though about if no one made a stink the billboard was going to be taken down anyway and that would have been the end of it.

5. Thoroughrob (7972) | 3 years ago | I seen that. Those lawyers went a bit overboard. It is kind of funny that it has disappeared and no one knows where it went. How could someone take it down without no one knowing?

razcal2267 (9498) | 3 years ago | I have no idea and I am not really sure I want to know the answer to that either.

6. Destiny007 (4557) | 3 years ago | I saw the story earlier on the news part of myLot.
I thought it was kind of funny, because it showed really poor taste.
They were afraid that it would reflect badly on lawyers, but I don't see how it could really make any of them look any worse than they already do.
The version I saw also said that they did not even have a permit for the sign and it was ordered taken down.
What kind of lawyer doesn't know that they need a permit?

|
razcal2267 (9498) | 3 years ago | I had not seen the part about there being no permit. Now it just shows stupidity along with poor judgment. Yep, I am going to run right out and high a firm that does not even know they need a permit for a billboard, LOL. What a joke.

8. charms88 (4698) | 3 years ago | Oh my goodness, that is an insane ads! To place a six pack abs and a woman showing a lot of cleavage, its ridiculous to think how they were able to allow to place an ads like that. Divorce is not even something everyone love to deal with. I don't know, I can only shake my bunny head here. Where is this people coming from? Isn't there any compassion left fot this world. "sigh"

wolfie34 (13920) | 3 years ago | Compassion, eh, what, am I missing something here? What's that because it don't happen here, not my bunny's world either LOL! I actually think the billboard is very sexy and eye catching and I wish we had boards like this in my country, although not near the main roads I hasten to add, might cause a few crashes LOL!

9. wolfie34 (13920)  | 3 years ago | Wow, I actually like it, I think it's a great billboard, and the only thing I would worry about is that if I was driving past it I didn't take my eyes off the wheel by looking at the bodies in the pic, very nice! It is appealing, it's to the point, you know direct and I certainly wouldn't object to it, in fact I would encourage more of them! People are so small-minded, and live sad lives if they have to complain, I mean what is there to complain about? It's pathetic, absolutely pathetic, what kind of shite world are we living in now where people take offence at that, it's beggars belief, I would laugh out loud if it wasn't so damn true!
