A Message from our Sponsor's

I'm sure you've seen commercials that are done by Lawyers and Attorney's. The commercials are local to the area with people you could call at any time. Only in America folks, only in America can we have 24/7 lawyers. The 7-11 of litigation, now if only you could get a free plant with your call. There is one commercial that you may have seen, mom sitting at the kitchen table. The boy's commenting to his dad that he understands that he can't work and it's okay that his (the boy's) dream is going into the toilet, he'll get a job and help bring money to the table. The dad is sitting at the table elbows resting on its top and hands to either side of his head, cradling it as it gives the face of despair, convincingly played I might add. The mom now chimes in that they shouldn't have settled their "lawsuit" without an attorney and that they should've called, insert witty catch phase for the offices here.
The second commercial plays the same women (mom) talking with a co-worker giving her all the private details about their unfortunate financial condition and wishing that they had called, insert jingle!
Huh?
This is just what dad wants to hear isn't it. Not only can he no longer work but he also has his own guilt, shame, blame, frustration and anger and lest we forget, mom blabbing all over the neighborhood how dad blew it and now their broke and should have called, insert jingle but didn't. Oh, woe! Then we have teenage son hanging in there for the team, no worries dad I don't have to go to school. It's totally cool that I now have to work at some minimum wage job and come home to your fat ass sitting on the couch cause you can't work and didn't call, insert jingle.
I wonder why dad, while they sit around that kitchen table doesn't blow his brains out! I mean is this a commercial that works? Do people sit and see it and look at dad, and why is it always a dad, can't mom fall on her butt sometimes too? But do they believe this is real? See the commercial and do what? If that situation applies, well you've already messed up and should just ride the wave till the spot's over. If you haven't and your sitting there deciding whether or not to sign settlement papers with the insurance company this is the spot that will influence you to call? It makes me depressed. I do not want a firm working for me that makes a commercial that if in that situation would make it difficult to not too take too many valium at bedtime right after canceling my life insurance policy and hand writing a will bequeathing everything to the old dude that lives in the refrigerator box in the woods down the street.

For too long I've messed with the wiring in my head. Now it shorts out more oft than not. But at my age I just sit and enjoy the sparks. RJM '07
